This is the ultimate Porsche 914 sleeper and is a blast to drive. While there are may modified 914s out there, very few exercise such restraint in the their cosmetic presentation. When standing next to this unassuming 914, it's hard to believe that it has around 400hp from its 2.5L turbocharged Subaru engine that was supplied by noted builder, Gary Call. The 5-speed gearbox is a Porsche 901 5-speed that was rebuilt at the time of installation and is working as intended. The brakes were upgraded to BMW units that not only increase stopping power, but also fit underneath the 14" factory wheels. It takes more than some desirable parts to make a functional and reliable car especially when you are swapping an air-cooled 4-cylinder for a water-cooled turbocharged and intercooled 4-cylinder. This task was expertly handled by Eriksson Enterprises on Monterey's Penninsula in CA. The original engine was removed, necessary holes were made for all plumbing and cooling and then reinforcements were made to handle what equates to almost 4x the original horsepower. Once in place, the ECU was tuned and mapped for street use. With a build cost that exceeds $100,000 and beautifully executed drivability, this Porsche is a comparative bargain at the asking price.
