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. |

A 901 wont handle it. Your Turbo engine will put out more torque than any of the engines you listed... and dont let JohnW "Otto" talk you into one of his 6k dollar still worthless 901's. I can tell you already have spoken to him about it... because he is the ONLY shop owner in the world who thinks 914 owners will "warm their transmission up" properly. Bullshit. Wont happen..never happens. He will keep sticking you for tranny builds blaming you for not warming it up. Ask me how I know.
Your biggest concern with this project is: 1.tranny 2.exhaust 3.oiling/coolers 4.turbo mounting for oil drain back No.4 Porsche mounted the stock turbo above the bottom of the block for oil drain back from the turbo bearings. You must do this unless you plan on a electric pump of some sort. The pics we have show how Richard Clewitt installed his turbo. He mounted it way back near the rear valance and ran almost stock style 9146 headers. I *think* he ran a Garret ball bearing turbo for better response (length of intercooler pipe becomes pretty long at that point) Somebody here has a ton of pics from Richards car and the German Autofest. Oh.. welcome to the BBS (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif) B |
