missing my NY 914 in VA  Group: Members Posts: 1,336 Joined: 26-November 07 From: Oakton VA Member No.: 8,376 Region Association: MidAtlantic Region  |
Has anyone ever tried to fit a 986/996/987/997 motor in a 914? As they are cheaper to source than a similarly powerful 993 or 964 motor, I started to look into this.
I don't think I've ever seen one done and perhaps there is perfectly good reasons why not. I am looking to see if I can get the width of the motor as that might be a non starter. Has anyone considered this and decided not to? |

Porsche wants them to be disposable..
LN and I have taken the engine to a different level, totally reconstructing the majority of the engine's components here in the USA. I have one sitting on my bench that we took from 3.6X51 specs to a 3.8, I expect it to put down 375RWHP on my dyno jet in a couple of weeks. In factory form the engines have 19 modes of failure that we have documented so far. They are a great foundation, but the assembly of one is not for the faint of heart. |
