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. |

Gentlemen,
Thank you for the responses. I luckily have the opportunity to utilize the 4 speed, any contact info on the people that perform this surgery, ballpark costs, experiences, etc. Brad is right that Renegade do not do trannies. As with any tranny I run on the track it will be built w/ pumps and coolers. thanks for the heads up though. Brad thanks for the beta on the turbo location. I remember seeing a 914 w/930 motor at Willow Springs w/the POC about 2 years ago but did not look at the exhaust thoroughly enough as my project idea had not been hatched. I'm sure It will have to be a custom job. Seeing an example would of course help me greatly. I;m hoping there is ample room for the turbo next to the tranny in the rear since I will be hacking most of the trunk out. Coolers are fairly simple and I've a few laying about. I'm thinking two fender mounted carerra coolers w/Fans in the front fenders and a large mocal in the nose should keep temps reasonable if I keep stock boost levels. Is there a place to view Richards Clewitts photos? Any other things that I should be considering on getting the motor up and running in the 914? Thanks. |
