Full Version: LS1 or smokin hot type 4 ?
Is it just me who feels like our 914 forum is getting overloaded with a bunch of stuff we don't want lately? I don't care about the junk that belongs in a Fiero forum et al. So much so I suspect this is why that other thread got locked because of it. Slow down man and focus.

Veekry9 is a borderline spammer but he does come up with cool stuff sometimes...

Hey everyone, just considering the above.
An LS1 is 350 hp and with the factory injection will both start and run like a dream.
A real done up type 4 will sound much nicer but obviolsuy about a bit more than half the power.
Where can you shove an LS1?The cost the criteria.
A poo caller has interjected a poo poo,a Narpinista.You have your opinion,tho useless.Focus on that.
A 30K 914 is not this.Bang for buck an American V8 is hard to beat in North America,the recyclers have plenty for cheap.
A contention we all have to do it the same is a fallacy,hot air.An aluminum V8 manufactured since the time of 356 is still a viable candidate in 2015.A Northstar coated bore V8 is also a good fit as you can see clearly on the Fiero site.Plenty of Americans have created their own mids with good performance and economy.To answer the question of what to do with his 914,"Anything he wants".

QUOTE(Spoke @ Jan 11 2015, 10:18 AM)
I'm in the market for an engine more powerful than the 1.8L T4 now in my car.
Details about my 914: its a rust bucket from the rust belt; mostly repaired. Twisted frame from rear-end collision; reconstructed title; probably not worth that much. 911 3-in front suspension; redrilled 5-lug rear hubs with vented rotors; 6x16 front Fuchs; 7x16 rear Fuchs. Runs well and starts every time.
So the car isn't worth that much and I want more power. What is the most cost effective engine swap? I'm not looking for a killer engine, just something with 100-150 HP or so that won't break the bank.
I have a 2L core that I was intending to rebuild but not sure if the rebuild cost will eclipse the car's value so I'm thinking of other engine possibilities.
A fine selection of cheap used blocks and TX are available for your perusal here online,a great advantage over the netless past.
Would 220 hp be ok at the same cost of 150?A four,six or eight,what is the desired smoothness and at what economy?
Shall you be force feeding the holes or just sucking it in?What is your budget for this re-engineering of a rusted relic?
Pertinent queries to be resolved only by you,I have no doubt the lighting will be modern.If the Targa is worth 4k and a 2k budget for the engine,a 16V-4 makes sense for economy and reliability,a cornucopia of choice awaits you.
Perhaps a Chevy.

04-LS1-GTO shaved of the ancillaries will fit nicely with room for a damper,shorter than stock.
Piping will be necessary to the coolant passages,welded tubing to a remote pump,driven by a jackshaft perhaps.
The deep pan will be discarded for a dry sump system.The ancillaries driven by a serpentine belt.
A plan to install an engine for your highpowered 914 must be just that a plan,making drawings of parts to fit.
Stretching the wheelbase is an option if a custom 914 is considered.Part of a plan.
A modification of the suspension to suit the changed CG and CM likely be necessary to suit those changed conditions.
Is it possible to fit an LS1 without cutting the firewall front and rear?Maybe,a tape measure is handy.

Well,the trans won't fit in a 914 mid firstly and I want a 914 to modify in my own way.
A number of fine 914s are on the market for the original experience,pony up the dough.
A rusted hulk of a 914 with mice nests is what some are starting with on their journey to 914 valhalla.
My take is,with that amount of labour I can make and have my own flavour.

He's added some slots as detail that look ok,great effort to make wider to cover up the meats.

The gearbox handles up to 1,100 Nm of torque, has a maximum gear ratio spread from 15.79:1 to 1.866:1, and weighs just 97 kg. Its generic front plate mates to the engine bellhousing, and the design eliminates the need for an OEM to develop its own high-cost gearbox.

Yes I ran the buick 215 v8 for about 4 years. Oil leaks are definitely an issue you'll deal with. Mine was built & supposedly putting out 260hp. From my rear I would say it was more like 180 or so. You can make it work but with the suby options & the LS1 I don't know why you would. You still need to do an adapter plate & all the conversion stuff you'd need with any water cooled car. So while you can get the 215 to work. You'd spend more getting it right than using a newer motor.

That one's pretty expensive, try www.spyderclub.com. Their big upgrade used to be T4 engines (from a T1) but are now tending more toward Subaru. I used to covet one too, but those are really really small cars, so if you're tall you kind of stick up what seems to be an unnatural amount.

I'd stick to an Albins or Mendiola myself. Been on enough trips through the dunes in high horsepower cars to trust them.
If they can take a 750 hp LS motor with four passengers and paddle tires and wheelie at will, they will be fine in my car.
Unique enough to inquire the price,the application a road/track car with giant power.
The transverse arrangement of the main and countershafts is a compact design.
The buggy app shows off the Mendeola TX,demonstrating great strength.

Curious about the other politics. Does PCA allow non Porsche power plants at an Autocross?
I wish I could afford two 914's. One with a v8.
Did someone say Porsche drive-line/ components allowed? Appearing at Porsche Club events very soon...

What a ripoff for that adapter plate.... I can see a few hundred dollars for $30 in material...this guy is just raping people that don't know any better or must be the only person making them.
It's labour intensive work to fab the patterns to ram the sand and heat and pour the metal for a small batch production,essentially an under 20pc demand per annum,if that.The price reflects the exclusive nature of the castings.They refuse to make them at a loss.

If you were even to consider a rover v8 I would have to point out the following, unless you use the later model fuel injected range rover engine you would be getting 60's technology, no strength in the bottom end and just a small increase in hp from a decent 4 cly, and oil leaks beyond any that porsche could ever produce. We've been using them here for years and the only way to make a good one is to throw large amounts of money at them. lexus v8's are a good engine if you could get one to fit and are engineered from factory to be capable of excellent hp. ( the speedway boys are even fitting carbs to them and getting 500hp ) but the best v8 by far is the LS range. these are narrow, light and easy to get parts for. just my 2c. P.S. glad to see things settling down a bit on this thread

I have the exact same carbs on my 2007cc Gene Berg engine in my bus. DCNF 42
This thread reminds me of the end of Terminator, when the Terminator's legs have been blown off, and Linda Hamilton is so relieved, and you're so relieved, because it's finally over, there's no way that killer robot is coming back from this. No. Way. And then. Hold on. What's this? You gotta be kidding me? Nooooooooooooooooooooo!!!

One of a kind,strange stuff and without luggage space for two,so a limited utility car,no doubt powerful.
