I have never driven a 914 but have always wanted one. I will be making a purchase in the next 5-8 months. I am trying to get a feel for how much power/torque a 914 might have in relation to what I have now. I am currently driving a BMW 328 (190hp) and am getting about 16 +/- pounds per HP with torque peak around 3-4K rpm.
My question is: For a given motor what could be expected. I guess that a 1.7 puts out about 70hp(31/lb), 1.8 - 80-85hp (27/lb), 2 - 95-100hp (22/lb). I am interested in the 6 conversions. What is typical or conservative for a 2.2, 2.4,2.7, 3 or even a 3.2 6 cyl? If I figure a 914 weights in at 2200lb, I am thinking I will need 150hp to get at least a similar weight to hp advantage. Also, about how fast can be achieved per gear relative to these cars? One more question... in the 6 conversions, what it could be expected in 0-60 times? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |

It is all in the combo..
I can take the same engine and only change cam, heads and CR and effectively take the power from 130HP to 170HP on the same fuel... Most every combo we have today makes 175HP and I now have 7 combos that are over 200HP on pump gas when supported by the proper sub components... The numbers on my site are REAL numbers, not just ratings. I work to exceed these numbers with each combo. All of this with longevity and reliability of the stock/4 engine. Here is the weird part, the way my program works a 145HP engine is only 750.00 less than the same displacement engine making 175HP.... QUOTE Such a sweet sound Those that have heard a true MassIVe engine agree that it has it's own sound. I consider that sound to be much more satisfying than that of the six... Thats probably because I created that sound, but..... Also, never buy an engine based on a sound, thats like choosing a wife because she has big fake tits, generally those relationships don't last very long.... Yes, I can help. Yes- it is ALL in the combo. I drive one and live it everyday. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) Ever heard one of my creations??? At full song it has none of the characteristics of the VW engine it was derived from. Yes, it has it's own sound. |
