Pretty cool. No more tune-ups.

I bet it sounds like shit in the car!! I could just imagine that!

Next thing ya know we'll see a damn Detroit installled into a 914!

Kind-of Sick....
In a Sick-Kind-of way....

I bet it didnt cost 10,000 grand though...

And smell too.

But the noise of thing a foot behind my head would drive me nuts.

Add this to the list of wacky 914 engine transplants.

At least Im not the only one who has thought about this. My Jetta isnt that loud and if you run it on Bio. D. the smell is kinda like popcorn instead of an old Mack truck

My dad had a D Rabbit back in the '80's.
Cruise control was simple on the highway.
Put a brick on the long pedal and steer.

Paul

I wonder what he did about the gearing, those 1.9's don't like to rev too much.

Tom

bet its a Passat or Audi trans.

Hey! That was my idea!

I suggested it a while back on another 914 BBS as a Biofuel 914 alternative.

It got a lot of possitive feedback from the mechanical types out there. Lots of low end torque and it can run on vegetable oil.

Can you say McTeener?

Someone needs to do a shaft drive turbine 914 conversion The sound of that right behind you would be scary and awesome at the same time

can't be any louder than my car. as soon as i step on the gas, it sounds like you're being run over by a freighttrain ...

Andy

Dang I wanted to be the first to do it!!!!!!

Oh well, got to give him credit for solving a problem. If he keep the stock 901 tranny he would be about 35 mpg, so he has to have an audi/passat tranny in that thing. Or really tall tires, which I did not see unless they are drag slicks

Oh when he is ready I can make that thing motor, and start to scare even 914-6s. My stock TDI is dropping 110 HP to the road right now. With over 200 Ft pd of torque, it is a fun ride and still pulls down 42 mpg, with my foot in it like I stole it. And 185Kmiles it is still going strong, and yes Bio smells like popcorn. And the noise can't be any worse than a type -4 with Webbers.

BTW, Jake I have already thought about dumping in a bigger diesel, but I was looking at the 6.6 Liter GM engine, Gale Banks is building two versions currently one for race one for the road. The road engine will put out 900hp and over 1,000 lb-ft of torque!!!!! Just what I need in a 1850lbs 914 Oh the Banks truck will run in NASA Super Production class. Can't wait to see that one on the track.
