Picked up a 2.4l six today and maybe this one has found a home if I scrap all my big 2.4L four plans.

I can't decide:

Big screaming four
or
2.4lsix

or wait to save up some more money and install a 3.2!

What do you think I should do??

Go for the six....

But make sure that you don't get DWD while doing it. Or you could end up like me....

I bought a 911 tach at a swap meet (Honey, some day I want to put a six in my car, but not now). That started the 4 years and counting oddysey of my car....


Oh, DougC has a 914/6 flywheel for sale in the parts forum.

a six would -in theory- just add to the value of your car.

You can break down that 2.4 and rebuild it into a screamer....

get a 20/21 cam or a 158R or GE60 cam, have the heads freshened.....bolt it all together with the Webers that I see on your engine and things will be good.

i think it's going to take more than cams to really wake up a 2,4 T ...

If the webers are factory, it's a T motor. All of the other 2.4 motors were MFI......

Go for the big 4. Don't you already have the Nickies for that? The conversion parts alone will cost $4K to put that 2.4 in your car.

I'd put the 2.4/6 in there... but not that one. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

The 2.4 E or S makes my favorite 914 setup.

if the 6 is going to be opened up... best to put some 964 cams in there, straight headers, punch it out a bit, updated cam chain tensioners (oil fed), shuffle-pinned... You can take it up to 2,9 safely. It'll be a screamer. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/burnout.gif)

Geoff put that six in your westy. And then get a V8 and go real fast in your 914.

The type # is just below the hose clamp in your pic on the right side of the engine....stamped into the case just inboard of the chain housing ....should be 911/XX. Get that number before you do anything.

73.5 2.4T had CIS. Euro 2.4Ts had carbs.

If you want to upgrade to a 3.2 someday, the parts aren't getting any cheaper.

You can get all the conversion parts for under $3k if you are me. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)

Go SIX, please.

Thank you.

Hi
I, like most teeners, have thought about conversions...
Put aside HPvs$$ (V8 wins hands down), why does an aircooled six always makes me stop breathing ?
If you go for the big four, you will always see that six in the corner of your eye, if you go for the six, you will forget about the four, except when your pulling $$$ out of your pocket.
I absolutly did not help, I am confused.

My .02 Put the six in your driver with 67S cams, open the jets, early 911 stock exhaust,if the pistons need replacement go with a set of J.E. high comps., that makes a very fun "cheap" driver. Keep the 4 banger and build a racer!! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/aktion035.gif)
