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!

I'll throw in my 2cents...
I don't think the original poster wanted to rebuild his motor... so I'll agree with the tune up suggestion and then spend the last 400 on a set of 50series tires. the lower profile will give you lower gearing and quicker seat of the pants acceleration... If you have any extra money left over spend it on suspension items. brant |
