The 2.0 four cylinder in the 914 4's is potent with a little bit of work. I opted to have the fuel injection removed and 2 webber carbs put in their place. Still tinkering and working around some problems after the engine rebuild but the car still has no problems starting every day. The 914 is an extremely well built car with great handeling and brakes. The common brake swap with the brakes from the BMW 3 series is the next upgrade. Funny looking Porsche, great project car, and cheap to upgrade considering it's VW roots.

What an amazing ride. I bought this from a friend, and about a month later the original 1.7 crapped out. I tore it apart and bored out the motor to a high compression 2.0L with dual Webber carbs, I ripped the OG fuel injection out right away! I converted the lifters to hydraulic so I never had to adjust them again. If you know these cars, you understand why I did that! It was like night and day. This thing sounded mean. It hauled ass and handled better than any 911 I had driven. They carbs were tuned just right. The side shift 5 speed tranny always gave me trouble, the first gear synchros were on the way out so it would always grind unless I was very cautious. This 914 was one of the cleanest I had ever seen. It was the original polar silver and the only rust it had was in the "hell hole" but, I relocated the battery to the rear trunk and put some rust inhibitor on it. I never really got to enjoy it because I sold it a few months later. I made a huge profit though. It was a sexy car indeed, These are not the cheapest or most affordable cars to own. Most people don't really have respect for them because it was really just a Volkswagen with the Porsche emblem.

I love this car. You can't beat the purity! It was my first Porsche and I sold it. I wanted one so bad again I replaced it 15 years later!
