Your right a upgrade to a EJ25T with a Boxster S trans would make things pretty exciting real quick! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |

I have a 914 Subie 2.5 turbo conversion and a stock first year (2002) WRX STI 2.0, if not for smog regs. I would switch them in a second. The 240 hp in the 3000+ lb. all wheel drive Subie is nice, a bit peaky, just need to plan ahead. The appox. 300 hp in the 2000ish lb. with 901 trans. (who needs 1st. gear anyway) 914 is a handful if you press on the gas pedal too suddenly. I dream of a smoother gentler 240 hp in the 914 and a quicker WRX. It's only a dream it would never pass smog. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) |

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

What’s great about the 914 get togethers,is you get to see all the different ways of building the “perfect” 914. There’s no one best way.

If you want your car to stop faster, an intuitive start may be to upgrade your brakes. While it may sound logical, for everyday driving it will probably have no effect on your actual stopping distance. Brakes are the system responsible for turning the kinetic energy of your moving car into heat (science talk for slowing it down), however the car’s tires are ultimately responsible for how quickly this occurs. Like I always say brakes stop the wheels but tires stop the car........... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) a big part of adding weight is adding larger wheels and tires. Unsprung weight spinning with a larger contact patch. Think about the wheel as a lever The longer lever and the larger the crank handle the more clamping force is required to counter the weight and force. This is whether you have 100 go or 450 go. HP only matters if you package increases force of the lever through weight and leverage. |
