I would share my project with the world since I enjoy seeing what others have posted. The 914world has been big help in sourcing info, parts, and the car itself.
I thought about building this car for years, and finally decided to act on it. Recomendations and comments are welcome. Thanks, Michael Project Scope Body: 1973 narrow bodied w/ fiberglass bumpers Engine: Honda S2000 F20C (250 ps @ 8200 rpm) Transmission: Stock Front Suspension: 87 911 front end w/ Bilstein Sports, 22 sway bar Rear Suspension 250 lb springs on bilstein sports, poly bushings Wheels: 15x7 with R compound Brakes: 87 911 Carrera F&R This is how it looked when I first got it. Brought this home from Southern Caifornia. The transport company rolled it up in the yard since it had no brakes. Repaired hell hole Reinforced rear suspension console Removed sound deadening from the floor and prepping for POR15 Rear fiberglass bumper fitted I hope to be installing the drivetrain in September, that is if Murphy's law quits getting me. The flywheel from KEP is several thousands too small to fit on the crankshaft so I need to get that resolved first. |

Just wanted to say that I love to see the F20 in there!!!! Good job!!
I have 19 years experience in building Honda race/rally cars and when I bought my 914 I was in heavy doubt about which way to go engine wise. I still am in fact... my first choice was to go K20/K24 supercharged and after seeing your intake elbow routed through the cabin, that would be my choice since it has the throttle body opposite the S2k one. Also I was curious about the height issue with these engines...you demonstrated it fit's nicely!! The other one issue is how the 914 tranny will hold up, and how the gearing ends up with the 9k rpm engineband...but I guess you will be able to tell in a while (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) My choice now is a Subaru EJ20 turbo with a custom Elite Transmissions sequential 6-speed.....very low cg But after seeing your car...the K-itch is back.......... Keep us updated and please include lot's of pictures!!! Thanks, Randall |
