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 |

A 2.1L turbo-4 built by Car Craft in riverside in the 'mid 90s. I bought it cheap. It sat in storage for several years. I have just recently started to put it back together again only to find rusted floor and rear firewall. So the motor will get swapped into a new chassis I just purchased. Not sure yet, put I may just return to motor to NA. Don't really like cutting the trunk floor.
A very basic setup with no intercooling. Not very clean but seems to work well. (IMG:http://www.safie.com/_911/914trunkbay.jpg) |
