Hey everyone I'm a new member and looking into purchasing a 914 roller and I have a Toyota 20 valve 4age engine that I'm building. My question is do they sell a conversion kit for my engine with mounts, trans adapter and flywheel? And my goal is 500 wheel horsepower with a 8k rpm redline so which transmission would best suit my application? Would i need any chassis modifications for this power level?
Thanks for your time |

Sorry havent been On in a while. I have since decided to go with a different chassis but i still want to say thanks to those who sent me the info i was looking for. And to mrfourteen the only thing that sounds trollish was your response. I may be a newbe to the 914 world but i am def not a newbie to building engines. F1 spent millions to make 650hp and that was in the 80s which they have far surpassed the 650hp mark their have been numerous 1.6 engines that have made upwards of 1500hp do some research. And to say that 500whp out of a 4age is unrealistic well sounds like you dont know as much about the 4age motor that you say you do. Their are several people in the AE86 and carolla community who are running 400 to 500 whp out of their 1.6 4age engines and bash them for a very long period of time. Some are in the drifting community. One very well known individual is joel86 who had an engine failure due to the factory retainer cracking and dropped a valve. Their are also a few guys who are running the 7afe Block with 4age 20v head and 16v head who are making 500+hp with factory internals as well. And mannon racing products has a 1.9 stroker setup using 20v head and they have seen 1000 hp. So considering the only thing that is going to be factory is my block, crank and bare head im pretty sure i can make 475 to 525 reliably. Once again thank you everyone who helped me out
