Do you think a brand new 197 HP Civic Si can beat a 914 with 3.0 6 conversion? My buddy who doesn't have a preference either way says that the civic will win hands down (he has a VW symbol tattooed on his calf too). Even if the 914-6 has 260 - 280 HP. What do you guys think?

The tilting installatioin of the VR6 motor reminds me of the installation of a 3rd Generation 3SGTE (Toyota MR2 Turbo'd Engine) into a 1983-87 Toyota Corolla 2dr/3dr Hatchback/Coupe. They would tilt the engine slightly to avoid having to modify the cross member for the oil pan to clear the cross member. A buddy of mine a while back had a MARK 3 (91'-98') VW Jetta VR6, that thing was pretty sweet it was lowered on some Eibach Prosport lowering springs and sat on some 16" BBS wheels and it was black w/ black leather interior. And that baby hauled ass! One Jetta i'd definitely get!
Good luck Mid Engine 914 on the conversion and keep us updated w/ progress pics! |

Good luck Mid Engine 914 on the conversion and keep us updated w/ progress pics! Thank you. I'll be ordering a tubing bender from Shop Outfitters soon and hope to finally get started on this swap. P.S. I bet your buddy's VR6 sounded really sweet too. |
