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.

I posted one photo of Richard's car on the Pelican board (same thread topic). He is local, in the SF Vallley I think, and might be willing to chat about turbo 914 stuff. Or better yet find out when he will be at the track next, and then you can come out and take pics and chat in person.

There is at least one other 930-engined POC car but I do not know anything about the car or the owner. I am pretty sure that one is running a flipped 930 trans though.
