Every now and again, I get it in my head to build a small 6 for my 914. Either a 2.2 or a 2.4. Either engine would be built up to the "S" type specs, though probably carburated as I don't want to deal with MFI, and at this point have a pretty good understanding of how IDF style carbs work.

While driving my 914, I tend to drive it differently then I do my daily, keeping the engine revved up. This is NOT how I thought I would drive it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
The idea of a small bore high revving engine really tickles something in me.

Could anyone here breakdown the costs involved with taking a tired old 2.2T or 2.4T motor and building it out to S level to have a peaky but potent 190ish HP? I would be doing all the labor, save machine work, myself.

I am not as concerned with the costs of the oil tank, engine mounts, etc. I know about what that stuff all costs to get, and where to go about finding them. I am more interested in just the parts and costs associated with rebuilding the small bored 6 plants.

This would be a build taht I might start collecting parts for now, but would not start for probably a year or longer as I DO want to have my m715 running at some point in my lifetime. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) I am putting my 914 on the same restriction that I had the truck on. No major changes to the 914 now until the truck is road worthy.
