HI,

I am currently doing a 914 conversion. I have a 1974 914/4 that I am currently putting in a Subaru 2.0 Twin turbo engine that will be producing about 350+ horsepower. I already know that the engine will fit, because i have test fit it, and i have the adaptors on the way. I have a stage 3 six puck clutch for it, but i wanted to know if the stock 901 tranny will with stand this kind of abuse. I already have a radiator for the front, but wanted to know where the best place would be to run the coolant lines. Also what kind of body kits are availible for the 914, I think mine looks a little plain. What type of quarter mile time do think i can run with a 350+ horsepower engine that revs 8,500 Rpm's? I have most of the project figured out but any info is greatly apreciated. Oh also im going with the accel gen. VII DFI if anyone was wondering about engine management.

Thanks Donny

Make the first 1/4 run a good one. thjat will be the last for
the 901!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

yepp, the 901 will only hold up to some 250HP ...

you'll need a 915 or even better a 930 ...
ask Brad about your options. he's on top of all the V8 conversions and your engine setup sounds like it'll get into that HP range too.


as for the radiator lines, if you don't need the heat, run them through the heater-channel.
otherwise, you can run them under the car (left and right of the center tunnel)
or behind the rocker panels (exposes them in the fender-wells) ...
