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, |

Well I don't know much about the weight....(unless it's my own, which just ain't pretty! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif) ) But as far as sound quality goes....when I met Scott the 914 had a 1.8 stock engine in it. After the Suby conversion I jumped in the car with him and drove across the country in it. She sounded exactly the same to me with just a hint of throatiness. Trust me, I, of all people had a great opertunity to hear what both engines sound like.....and there isn't a diffrence. So by all means keep your iPod on whatever kind of tunes you like....
