I am going to pull my engine this week after an embarassing weekend at sears point. Too little horsepower. Can't even keep up with the 944's. I hope to build up my 2.0L into something pretty strong, probably in the 140hp range. I will be keeping the stock FI if I can, but if I can sell the stock FI, maybe I go carbs?

Where should I start? What should I get? I do have a budget, so I want to keep the costs somewhat moderate. Help me out. Thanks! Terrance (IMG:style_emoticons/default/MDB2.gif) |

Nothing wrong with the fours... I just know what group he is trying to run with and a 4 wont do it unless its a grenade waiting to happen. I have spent a lot of time around 185-190 hp 1.8 liter race engines that spin 8k RPM with stock cranks. After building that 10K race engine.. you now have to gear the car for 8K RPM.
I also know he has an uncle that will supply him with a good 6cyl engine if he whines enough. Oh..and about the "Jake Followers" earlier.. we get along fine and I send business to him every chance I get. I just dont believe in the large displacement engines for 914's... convert it to a 6 and stand a chance of recovering your investment. B |
