930 motor into 914, How to? Options

[team ftb]

Here's the question. Has anybody done this and what does it involve? A buddy owes me huge and he has a complete turnkey 930 motor to settle the debt. I have a 914 complete w/flares, suspension and brakes to handle this beast. I just know it will be a pain and would like some input and guidance.

The car will not be a daily driver. Sunday fun and track duty only. So I can cut the trunk and lid anyway needed for access, headers, exhaust, etc.

Issues I'm thinking about:

Exhaust (probably cut off at headers and mounted backwards to its current configuration. The rest custom made.

Tranny: It should be able to be rebuilt (ottos) it to take the heat as long as I warm it up, do not abuse it, install pump and coolers etc.

Intercooler mount: How about proper airflow to it?

CV's and Axles: How much can they take?


Any insights, advice, wisdom, cajoling etc. is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Sounds like a fun project!

I recall seeing (pictures or reading, not in person) perhaps 2 or 3 turbo'd 914/6's.

One didn't use an intercooler, and I have the magazine article kicking around here -- it has photos of the exhaust routing, etc. If you like, I can scan it and post it here.

One mounted the intercooler almost in the middle of the rear trunk lid. There was no data offered on how effective it was (it would have been nice if they had measured inlet/outlet temps/etc and compared it to the 911 data/etc.)

I'd also guess that the v8 guys can offer what worked/didn't work for handling larger horsepower.
