Help. I've got my 914 running, but I feel that it needs alot more power. I mean, it handles great in the twisties, but doesn't seem have enough power for the straights (or the stoplights).
Does anyone have any suggestions to drag more power out of my 1.8L. I'm looking for about 140hp without swapping the engine. Has anyone out there tried pulling this much power out of their 'fourteen and if so how did you do it? Any help or suggestions or even ideas that you could provide would be greatfully appriciated. Thanks. P.S. I want a dependable engine that I can use as a daily driver that won't need to be rebuilt every 10,000 miles. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |
