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 |

Marty, Hey, I went through the Plastics program at LA Trade Tech, '69-'71.......Interesting place in those days. Parking deck trash cans filled to the brim with beer and wine bottles after lunch break. Many students were Viet Nam Vet's on GI bill.....Oh the stories! At that time, I built a '69 Rambler (AMC) American with a T4 turbo, then a Fiat 124 turbo (RayJay), then the 914 Turbo using the Crown Kit (very similar to your's). Andys |
