Hey guys. This is my first post and I was hoping some of you guys could help me out. I have a 75 1.8 914 and obvoiusly with only 73 hp, I could use some more. I was wondering what things i could do to get some more horses out of it. I would prefer not to do a conversion as I am on a budget, but any ideas would be great!

Thats not going to make much of a difference if you still are using the stock cam. Polishing the ports does jack as the injectors are pointing right at the valve. You can also destroy the heads pretty quickly if you do it yourself! Better Airflow is achieved by a BETTER cam as the stock cam is very mild (same as the Djet cam) and set up for quick warm ups and running fairly hot for emissons. The 1.8heads are ok valve size wise but the spark plug location is better on the 2.0l heads. Raise the compression ratio to 8 to one with the 96mm's |
