Has anyone swapped in a B18 or B16 into the 914 engine bay? I have found a places that sell the engine to transmission adapter kits, but no one selling any motor mounts. I have a CRX right now, but the 914 is sitting out under the cover in the arizona heat. My CRX is getting near 40mpg with the A/C on, where as the 914 was getting may be 20mpg. Now if i could put that 40mpg engine into that great handling 914, I think i would be one happy college kid.

no one has replied at all.... I plan on doing this mod, my main question is the engine mounts. The stock 2.0 uses a little mount and only one, the B16 and B18 have a mount oneach side if I remember correctly. If I have to, i i'll make a sub frame for the engine, like Renegade Hybrid does for thier V8 conversion.
Does any one have pics of the V8 Conversion sub frame?

I think you will have to make your own subframe to mount a honda engine, as the mounting methods are completely different, and there isn't enough demand for anyone to be making mounts for the conversion.

My lugnut requires more torque than your LS1 makes.

For a rotary swap. It may give you some ideas. Making the motor mounts is not that difficult. Making them pretty is harder.
I suggest you go for it.

My swap of choice is a 964 or a 993 3.6 liter engine, with a little work. The 914 is pretty light, so you don't need a tremendous amount of low end torque, a 3.6 with a fairly agressive cam profile is still quite driveable on the street in a car that has been lightened to 1600lbs.

Along with a set of headers, some porting and a set of high butterfy manifolds, 340hp is quite reasonable to expect.

A big advantage of sticking with a Porsche engine is that it remains air cooled, meaning you don't have add the weight of a radiator, water and all of the plumbing necessary, making for a lighter car. Besides, you don't need more power than that in a 1600lb car.

Granted, a 3.6 is pretty expensive, but the 911 SC 3.0 is quite a bit cheaper, and still makes 200hp stock.
