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!

The Capn is exactly right...
If you can't afford a professional (that knows ONLY TIV heads) leave the ports alone. Altering ports has the capability of altering port margins which can easily result in an engine that runs like crap, is untunable and rins hot. Do it right, or leave it alone. |
