My new project..... Options

[davidginsberg]

Hi, im new... been wanting to build a 914 since i was a kid, had the chance to buy one already done, elmer shannons 914/8.

Here it is in action... it ran sub 1.53s at T-Hill with his nascar engine in it.

I bought it as a roller, and will be putting Dave Cafros audi 1.8t swap in. Its a pretty descent engine, doesent weigh too much and is sorta in "the family"... so its not a total bastard. Ill be putting a gt30 or 35 on it, with a DTA engine managment.

It weighed in at 2400lbs with the nascar engine, and pantera transaxle. Im hoping to drop close to 150 lbs with the 1.8t and boxster trans.

What is the configuration and power rating of the Audi T1.8?

What is the configuration and power rating of the Audi T1.8?

Inline Turbo 4, 5 valves per cylinder, 9-1 compression. I beleve they were at 180 from the factory, with a tiny kkk turbo.

With say a gt3076, full boost by 3700, 500whp@

with a gt35 full boost at 42-4500 600whp@ ~75-8000rpms

Of course this is with all the supporting mods to support 5-600whp.

heres the link to the car the swap came out of... Dave Cafros a board member.

Randal, My Audi A4 1.8T dyno'd at 225 HP and 250 ft/lbs of torque just with a chip upgrade and an intake. The 1.8T can easily be made to make 300 HP with stock turbo and crazy numbers with a big turbo.

I'd love to see pic of the 1.8t mated to the Boxster tranny in this car.

You will soon.

I need to get it in asap so i can start working on the underbody/diffuser that im going to be working on. The block has a scorched bore, so im debating weather to buy a new block, or rebuild.. Im leaning more towards new.. that way while im collecting parts/building the motor, i can work on the aero with the old motor in.

Sweet - I am just wondering where you can run it. Are you limited to just DE. I am just curious because I am planning to build my race car next year and want to be better informed as to what I should run. I was thinking 2.4 RS... But, that thing is gonna scream. I want me some of that - shit, I may have to build two race cars or start out with the 2.4RS and just keep progressing. I was thinking historics, but maybe you guys could clue me in...

Yup..

After about a year of de with the 1.8t ill be going to cayenne. If someone wants to buy the audi swap, ill be selling it when im ready to move up.

Brad, you were right... the tip adaptor looks like a match to the cayenne bolt pattern.... SWEEET.

As to the lozano bros.... do you have contact info for them? I found the phone no, but no email or webpage.

[Brad Roberts]

They are LOW key!! I may need to visit them while I make a Texas trip. They are right off of 35 just north of San Antonio. I need to deliver a http://www.boxsterspec.com car to NorTex. May have to re-plan my route!

So a 914 with a Cayenne motor in it would allow to run which class - and would it be competitive. Should I build a 6 car first to run DE (remember this is my first time ever racing a car)? I think a slow ramp up is what I should do. If cars are like bikes - no matter what you do this season - it will be obsolete next season. Is this Audi powered monster your first track car? Don't wanna bug you guys - I am just lookin for some guidance.

[Brad Roberts]

You can skip the 4cyl grow them as a driver routine. Your bike experience will catapult you past the "starter" guy's. In PCA/POC you can run the same car for years and years. In our regions, he wouldn't be allowed to run with the Audi engine (POC would let him but PCA club racing would not)

Its my first track only car. Ive had a monster street/track MR2 (380whp) and a 944t, but this is my first really serious car.

I looked into doing a 6, but really the power just isent there. Even if you go with a 3.6, your still talking around 300-350hp max. It would be a fun fast car, no dought, but my 914 is just built for insane power. I found Dave Cafros engine swap for a killer deal, and since im used to building turbo 4 cylinders, it seemed perfect. The audi swap actually is really good. It bolts strait up to the boxster trans, and the engine weighs around 300lbs with all accesories, except the intercooler. The 3.6 in comparison weighs ~450 lbs

If you have the dough, id do the the cayenne right off the bat, but your gonna be spending uber bucks to get your car to handle 500whp and not constantly break things.

Okay - Thats better - So I will build it to handle 500 to 700 WHP and we will go from there - I will keep my eye open for a totaled Cayenne. What trans Brad?

G50 trans, with the 996tt tiptronic adaptor plate between the trans and engine.

You may have to modify the firewall... lucky for me, its already been done on my car.
