The bottom line always comes down to money.
The power is available in a 2.0L type 4 if the money is there. The limiting factor is the FI.
I know a guy who showed me 8.5k in receipts for stuff for his 914. He had taken the engine about as far as he could go and still retain the FI. It was a VERY nice 2.0L car with all the right things done to it. That convinced me that if one wanted to make a 914 run hard, more motor was needed. If 30 more ponies cost 3/4K to do right, add 3k more and get another 30/40 hp. A six takes the 914 to a different level.
BTW, the guy was tring to sell the car for 8k, not having much luck, and still stuck in the slow lane.
