Seen on Ebay
This car with a Masarati 2.5 bi turbo installed. I know of SBC, WRX, V6 Buick, Mazda, and /6 conversions, but a Masarati 2.5 bi turbo? I guess it would work?

Why put a motor with such expensive parts in a 914? Thats a little counter productive IMHO. You could get more power from and SBC or Subie and pay so much less in parts.
It was for sale a while ago; it looked like it was in better shape then IIRC.

That's just stupid, unless he got the engine for free and the parts to rebuild it.
IMHO of course.

Maybe one of the six is blown, in a round about way he is being honest. My Benz

the thing uses special shims to adjust the valves. 24 of 'em..
it's a blow thru carb'd turbo setup.

did i mention it cost $2400 for a major tune up 10 years ago and only 2 places in the bay area would do it?
