This build is happening, cost isnt such a issue.
If i would switch to a b series it would cost me €1500 or more to get that running, and then im stuck with a old used motor.

Anyone more ideas to reach the 300hp mark?

nice one, finally someone with a good option for the d14 i am also interested in a set of rods for my na d14 build project. and if they are usable with stock d14 pistons or a set of other pistons that are fairly easy to get would be great. i dont have the money for this right now , but if this is a ...

i reckon, if its a well made and balanced pulley.
there should not be a problem with vibrations.
there is even a OEM one for b-series the N1 enduro pulley.
i love to try a lightweight pulley on my d14 soon.

they are very controlled. i have the fronts turned up to the maximum in damper stiffnes. the rears a bit softer to counter the oversteer while braking into a corner. if you turn the damping down a bit they become a lot more comfy :) i like it on the hard side, i ocasionally do trackdays at zandvoort...
