Subaru conversion

[bluemm]

I have heard alot about the subaru conversions that are being done to the 914. From what I hear, the subaru engine bolts in like it belongs there. I would like to know what is involved with adapting the subaru to the 901 transaxle, and which subaru engine is the best choice. I know there is a turbo version that makes considerable more HP, but I dont want to have to beef up the stock transaxle to handle it. I would be happy with about 200 hp. Also, what is the estimated price tag of a complete subaru swap?

Or you can try Kennedy engineering, they have the adapters available and a wealth of knowledge
also.

WRX powered 914

Here's a thread that might have some more good info, too.

This is my opinion for what its worth...

Do not convert this car. Pick something else. For every conversion out there versus a stock like car, the aftermarket is given less incentive to continue producing 914 parts and developments. You are killing us here. I want to enjoy my 914 for a while. Please don't add to the overall phenomenon. At least keep it in the family and do a 6 conversion. Some of those parts I can use.

Maybe these conversions are a drop in the bucket, but this is just an opinion.

check 914world. Pretty conversion friendly crowd, lots of information.
(I'm sure a lot of the same crowd, too. )

I'm the only one who is not for it. I'll be quiet now.
