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, |

That's true. But the price comparison...I'm not so sure about that. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif) I doubt if anyone has ever done a 3.6 conversion for under $11k in parts alone. It would be interesting to hear what the most powerful Subie's are going for. KT |
