There has been all kinds of engine swaps into the Base 914s (Porsche Aircooled 6 cyls-2.0L 2.2L 2.4L 2.7L 3.0L 3.2L 3.6L) along with a large range of Subaru Conversions and LS1 engines, SBC, any other conversions, along with 2056 builds etc. I’m sure a lot of people besides myself would like to see some performance specs after these conversions were completed (0-60mph 0-100mph, 1/4 mile, roll on performance) along with transmission changes and estimated cost for conversion.
Example: Upgraded to 2056cc build (Fats Performance), 125-130hp, dual 40 carbs, cam etc., headers, stock 901 side shift trans. With Rennshift Shifter, 911 suspension conversion. 0-60 6.5 seconds. 1/4 mile about 90 mph. Cost for drivetrain including trans rebuilt approx $10,000.00 in 2015. |

Great comparison on the 2.5 914 and the 2.0 WRX STI. I think 200-250hp mark on the 914 is about right! Thanks

Great comparison on the 2.5 914 and the 2.0 WRX STI. I think 200-250hp mark on the 914 is about right! Thanks Sounds like a bit much for narrow body Over 175 horse . should be flared ...5lug... Sc suspension Big tires/brakes ...etc I always loved the looks of the stock 914. So i only slightly flared the fenders in the baseball bat tradition. The 3.2 never ceases to make me smile. Of course that also meant the 5 lug suspension, bigger master cylinder and alu S brakes. I can run 205/55 on 16 inch wheels and still be narrow body. But then I don’t drive very fast either. |
