Hi all!



I have a 1971 Porsche 914 that I am planing on putting a rotary engine in. I have not had much luck finding engine specs. I need one that can do about 165-175hp. any suggestions? and estimated costs?



Cheers!

 

you want N/A?



86-88 N/A HAD 146HP

89-91 N/A 160HP

86-88 T2 180HP

89-91 T2 200HP

93-95 TURBO 255HP



easiest is to go n/a .........cheaper too!

 

How much should I expect to pay for one that is n/a? Also, when was the last year they made them n/a?

 

Last series of NA was Series 5 160hp made from 89-91

 

you're forgetting the renesis.

 

He needs mad bling for the newest motor in the world of rotary.

 

Have you looked into the engine adapter for the project. Kennedy engineered has some info on putting a rotary in a 914. Kennedy also machines the flywheels and makes heavy duty clutchs.I believe Kennedy also shows how to put a Chev V-8 in a 914. I've put a turbo rotary in my VW bases kit car and sure like the hp the turbo rotary makes. I also recommend the Haltech E6K(web site) computer. Its nice to have it run everything and be able to tune the car with a laptop(it also data logs engine operations.)

 

OK y'all I have an update on my project. I am having an engine custom built using '85 front cover, early low compression rotors w/3mm apex seals, late model housings, high flow oil pump, and stage II street porting. I'm going with the low compression rotors so I can add a T3 Turbonetics turbo later when I have the finances to build the plumbing for it. As for the adapter plate, I have decided on Kennedy over the other options. I had already upgraded the pressure plate, so mods won't be needed there until i throw the turbo in the mix.



Cheers all!

The T3 is going to choke the rotary. (a little too small, maybe)
