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, |

My opinion is that I don't want a porscharu to sound like a type IV. I want it to sound like a 6!
Anyone know if the 3.0 liter H6 would fit? Supposedly 75lbs more than an EJ25 but only an inch longer. Not sure about width. I read somewhere someone stuffed one into an Impreza with stock tranny, but I'm not sure that means it would work with the normal Kennedy VW-Soob adapter kit. Firing order is different than Porsche-6, but I have a hunch it would still sound sweet! Price is for sure higher, at least at this point in time, but if one could be had for cheapish... fun-fun-fun |
