Just wondering if anyone has seen an Audi engine in a 914. I read about a race car that had a turbocharged Audi engine but it was a tube frame and they basically took the entire driveline from the car (engine, transmission, axels.) I see that Audi has a couple of interesting powerplants - a twin turbo V6 and a 350 hp V8 - but noticed that Kennedy does not list the Audi brand in their list of adapter plates. Anyone know why this is? Are they too heavy? Too large? Too expensive? Just wondering because I think these engines would make decent power and have a natural kinship with the Porsche brand like VW.

Kennedy does make or has in the past SBC to Audi transaxles (I have an old catalog with this listing)
The V6 is not too wide for the 914 engine compartment, it's the length that is a challange for some motors. Why no one has done it? Audi engines are not cheap, no one makes a kit (I'm betting that 90% of the SBC conversions wouldn't be done if one couldn't buy the conversion parts off the shelf) The early Audi V6 motors are dogs, the newer ones are nice, but for your average person, too complicated with the electronics and all. Karl, it was the 924 that used a truck motor. The 944 is half an 928 engine (boat motor (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) ) Soloracer, the 914/audi hybrid should be legal for the Import Drags if I read the rules correctly (IMG:style_emoticons/default/MDB2.gif) |
