I'm sure this will amuse and/or intrigue many of you on here.
A car for sale on ebay in England http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PORSCHE-914-TURB...EUAAOSwKfVXKlrk Question is - has it really got a turbo and if so why does he think it's factory fit ? Someone somewhere has cooked up a story that will be news to you all - I'm wondering if it started on your side of the Atlantic or ours ? Shouldn't take long for the 914world sleuths to recognise those Ca plates and tell us more ? Andrew |

It has to be a turbo. Any time you lay a 930 turbo badge on a 914 it becomes a turbo...

Mine had a TURBO sticker across the engine cover. Imagine my disappointment when I discovered there was no turbo (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Yeah.... it's one of the ultra rare factory turbo 914's (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) , so of course he has posted several pictures of the engine and turbo charger...oh wait, he didn't.

I'm betting the salesperson went thru the receipts and saw:

Funny thing is that someone will step up (step in it more likely) and pay $22,000 for that 914. Whomever (con)joured up this factory equipped turbo spin should layoff the disco biscuits (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

You can't do it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) . Didn't we figure this out a while ago (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) ?

It could be a turbocharged 914. (OK, everyone, let's get this out of the way: "Everybody knows you can't turbo a 914!") I can't really tell from the engine bay photo, but it's possible.
It could even be from a company called "Factory Fit". But it was absolutely not delivered from the factory to the dealer with a turbocharger. And very definitely not with a late-70s "turbo" badge from a 911 Turbo (AKA "930"). --DD |
