These motors are probably 15-20k once they reach the track. Just a offhand guess. As my son has spent 13k on a street motor with no tranny mods. Just motor, ported heads, bigger cams, 100mm bore, open source tuning with datalogging and utec piggyback, bigger injectors, bigger fuel pump, bigger oil pump, front mount ic, 8qt oil pan, true cold air intake and a 30r rotated turbo at 26 psi. Conservative tune about 425awhp. Also no water or alcohol injection yet. |

No, it's not a Gixxer, but you and a friend can drive it in the rain and stay dry, and 7 lbs per hp with a stock motor isn't that bad. For comparison with a 2100 lb 914 and a stock 100hp engine (being generous) you have 21 lbs/hp. The big step to a 190 hp Raby 2270 (for $12000) gets you up to 11 lbs/hp. A stock 3.2 six will have 210 hp, another step up to 10 hp/lb, but is also a good bit heavier.
You do have to drive it to understand, it's silly fun. It's not the brutality of a V8, but you have more than enough power and keep the lightness and agility that makes the 914 so cool. It doesn't look any different, but it's just plain wicked to drive. |
