Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I was wondering if I should turbo charge the engine or try and get a flat six. Also are there any porsche 914 compatible engines that I should look for.

POST 2Original post

Get a Porsche 3.2 FI motor. Great combo and easy conversion. You can use the stock transmision and gears. You will need a conversion flywheel and a 914-6 oil tank. For the track you may need an external oil cooler too. I did my 914 this way.

POST 3Original post

Subaru conversions are popular currently. Reliable power, low maintenance and you can use the smoother shifting Subaru transmission. There are several conversion kits available. I'm currently doing this to my 914. Lots of good info here. 914 World

And it still goes on today. I have several divisions here, where different employees make things happen. The 914 and 356 engines were my first, today a Raby aircooled engine costs more than a Boxster engine that makes 200HP more.

POST 9Original post

I say stuff a nuclear reactor back there in the engine bay to be different. That's about the only thing that hasn't been tried on those 914s. There is so much you can do with them! I think the best bang for the buck is the Subaru engine/trans combo followed by the LS1/930 trans. There's nothing wrong with keeping it stock either.
