Ok, Porschefiles....
Use this thread to bash non-Porsche powered 914's. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mueba.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/type.gif) |

I have to jump in here - too much fun to miss. I just picked up the Excellence mag (I've never bought one before because they seem to be to much of the whine and cheese club) to see the Suby swaped 914. The super secret engine cradle was not to be found in print. I guess you have to sign an NDA to buy one from Renegade.
Why would anyone want to replace a worn out leaking VW van engine with a modern version is beyond me. The Suby's only have 165Hp in the weak non-turbo version and you can still buy parts to fix it at the local dealer for a fair price - that's boring. You don't get to adjust the valves every few months - that really sucks. You can get a variety of limited slip diffs and gearsets for the Suby transaxle if you must. Obviously I like the swaps. I bought my car to do a swap - originally just the engine [a big 6] but I hated the trans so much that it became the main focus. I love the car - "I" don't like the powertrain. If you do great. I sold mine and it's living on in another 914. |
