i am relatively new to the 914 scene, but i am curious as to why there is no turbo'd 914's out there, at least none that i could find.
the main problem i can see is the heat, but couldn't this be overcome with a front mount oil cooler? i am experienced in turbo theorys as well as built 3 different turbo cars (from NA to turbo) let me know if there is something i am missing here? Danny |

for most people it's easier or more cost effective to install a /6 engine....like mentioned above, there are a few turbo /4's and /6's running around... currently there are no kits available brand new and of the few that had been available during the 70's and 80's, not many had been sold or installed..... with the advent of cheaper affordable programable electronic fuel injection/ignition control, a few more people have been installing turbos onto thier 914's I've been a little sidetracked for the last few months, but I am attempting a turbo install on my 1.8 /4 motor Muellers YCTA914 project |
