It's not your dad's 914! ![]() ![]() ![]() Group: Members Posts: 1,197 Joined: 17-October 03 From: San Jose, CA Member No.: 1,256 Region Association: Northern California ![]() |
Looking for more hp and was considering the Suby conversion route after seing one at last year's German Autofest in Ventura. IF I was to pull the trigger, I won't be doing it myself - looking at a turnkey solution. Aside from the cost, what are the pros/cons? i.e definitely NARP.
Seems to me that a 914 thta has an engine that is lighter than a stock 2liter engine but has 240-300 hp (depending on tuning, type engine etc.) would be a blast to drive assuming you had the right suspension, brakes, wheels/tires etc. Thanks, |

To me the downsides are:
not aircooled not vintage not a Porsche engine uber expensive if you aren't doing all the fabrication and tinkering yourself which tranmission do you use for that 300hp? To me the charm of a 914 is that it's a vintage aircooled car. Other than that I bet a 914-Suburu done right would no doubt be a fun car to drive. |
