I have a 73 Porsche 914.. Ya, what am I doing here right??
Well I have a friend that has an 1.8 XT turbo engine that he'll sell to me for 150 bucks. I have a limited budjet, and I'll get the hoses and all that lined through the car with the XT engine, then I'll go to a Subaru EJ20DETT 280hp engine when i get more money.. but this other engine is the first step.
I have a friend that is going the Flat 4 twin turbo route right now, so I'll be able to follow his example when Im ready.
My question? Are their any web sites or stuff that have performance stuff for the 1.8 xt turbo engine? I know its a turbo engine so I should be able to pump it up a bunch with a big turbo.. but if I wanted to keep the turbo what else could I do to it? an intercooler plus pumping up the boost?? What do you guys think?
Btw the 914 is probably the best handling car on the road.. it weighs 2000lbs and it stops on a dime. I just hate the VW engine that comes stock with like 80hp..
Oh ya, im 17 and this is my first car.. My dad has 2 944 turbo Porsche's one is a race car which we are building right now, and it should have about 420+ crank hp..
I hope I can fit in this community..
Thanks guys!
