Performance upgrade for a 2.2 engine

Glenn Roberts, chief Porsche mechanic at Personalized Autohaus, has been working on a 914/6 engine to give it essentially more horsepower! Here is a short summary what it takes to accomplish this project (see all pictures)
  • we opened up the intake manifolds to 34 mms, changed the cams to early Solex 911 cams to make more torque. 
  • Then put in an igniter in the distributor. Changed to 40 IDA Weber Carburetors (had 30mms before). 
  • we installed Piston & cylinders to make engine from 2 Ltr to 2.2 Liter  
The 914/6 car is in the body shop at the moment getting painted then Glenn will install updated engine.
