This engine is built with performance in mind. We did not go to extremes when designing it to have great fuel economy, or a 100,000 mile life span. This engine is for the 914 driver that appreciates torque and uses that torque mixed with Horsepower to drive to and win win Autocross events. This engine is a brand new combo for the 2008 catalog that has power everywhere.

Pump gas and race gas versions of this engine are available, each using our LE 200 CNC cylinder heads,
proprietary camshafts and other power secrets that 
make for a broad power band, excellent reliability and outrageous performance all arounnd.

The demand this engine has for exhaust is high and a normal set of heater boxes won’t cut it! This engine must use headers and we mandate the Tangerine Super Header to compliment this combination as it was used with great results on our original test engine.

we rate the 2374cc Pump gas engine at 210 HP and 195 lb/ft of torque. The race gas version is rated a tad higher at 220HP with just over 200 lb/ft of torque. These are serious numbers that are not estimates, we have achieved them and have done so on more than one occasion.

Speaking of HP keep this in mind. The Six cylinder 911”SC” us-49 state engine produced 180HP@5500 and 175Lb/Ft of torque @4200RPM! This SIX cylinder engine is heavier than your 4 cylinder 2374 that virtually equals the HP and Torque for LESS MONEY!

If you want a more powerful engine that still has a 60-70,000 mile lifespan this 2374 engine may be for you, especially if you like a durable engine and don’t mind spending some extra money on your go fast hobby. Since this engine has more severe duty parts it does cost more but after it’s all said and done the durability and even reliability make the purchase of this engine really worth it- not to mention the power. Once you win the first "Top time of the Day" at the local AX all the expense will be justified!

The cooling of this engine can be accomplished with the stock system, but due to its power output this engine will benefit from our 914 version of our DTM very well. A cooler engine makes more HP and lasts longer so the perfect annihilator” would be DTM cooled for sure

With our dyno tuning you can rest assured that the engine will arrive in the best state of tune possible and producing its peak amount of power with its best settings for the desired RPM. Each of these engines is balanced much better than stock to a tolerance of “RACE”, and benefits from all the same procedures as our full blown competition engines. This engine is best if built from a customer’s 2.0 core, but we can start with any core, or even supply a core if need be.

NOTE: This engine IS NOT compatible with the stock EFI system! It is designed as a base for those who want to add our Aftermarket EFI system to their engine, or outfit it with carburetors. We have a base version of this engine for each of these methods of fuel delivery.
