MY NAME IS MAX HADLEY & I'M A BRAND NEW MEMBER, I AM THE SERVICE MANAGER FOR THE BOISE ACURA SERVICE DEPARTMENT, I ALSO AM A FORMER AUTOMOTIVE PAINTER (BEST HOBBY I KNOW). I'M INTERESTED ON INFORMATION CONVERTING MY STOCK 1971 914-4 TO A PORSCHE 2.7 SIX. I HAVE THE CAR & THE ENGINE, THE SIX IS A CIS EQUIPPED MOTOR. THE CAR IS COMPLETE & ORIGINAL WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE RUST REPAIRS TO THE ROCKER CLAMSHELLS & BATTERY AREAS. THE 1.7 IS A RUNNING DRIVING CAR W/STOCK INJECTION AND 82000 MILES ON IT. . DOES ANYONE HAVE A STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTION RECOMMENDATION ON DOING THIS ?

Welcome, Go to the local Barns & Noble or your local book store and pick up the new issue for Excellence Magazine. They have a complete article on converting the 914 from a 4 to a 6. Then ask any and all questions here. There are several people here that have done it. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wavey.gif)
BTW: Pete Stout from Excellence hangs out here sometimes. And once in a while we see the cat from 9 Magazine. Also check the top of the page for the up coming Events. and your cap lock is on. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/cool_shades.gif) one more thing.

welcome!...I've also got a line on a 2.7 with CIS that needs a rebuild. I'm contemplating the same task!

That won't be cheap....hope you got the core for near nothing.....CIS is not the easiest to hotrod.....a nice cam upgrade and a modern EFI or carbs is a good solution. The 2.7s had a stud pulling issue due to ver heating from the smog crap they put on it...time certs are the answer....once done the 2.7 is a hell of a motor..it gets not much respect from the know nothing weenies.... Unless you are doing the rebuild yourself...sometimes it's better to get someone else's project.... |

you might want to look at the 914-6 conversion article at pelican parts for some basic information.

Mikez...i'm getting a complete running motor (so all the parts are there)..just has hardly any oil pressure for free. I've rebuilt motors myself before so that I can do. And I've got too much money in my current car (ground up paint strip resto) to start over. When I finished it I'm just not happy with the anemic 4-banger.
And, I'm not concerned with hot rodding that engine..i figure going from a bone stock 1.8 to a bone stock 2.7 will be all I need! |

Then look for a cam regrind....20/21 or a 964 profile...it's about as radical a cam CIS can handle. If the p and c are bad....no excuse for more cubic inches.... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif)

Turn off the caps lock....
Do a search as Brad Roberts has posted a complete list of the parts needed to do it right several times. You can email him too for it. Geoff |
