I had always assumed that the type 4 was also used in the 912. However it seems that they used a polo motor instead. It actually looks like a 6 cylinder less 2 cylinders.
Has anyone used one of these in a 914? Any more power to be gained? Advantages & disadvantages? Thanks DAvid |

Canepa Motorsport had on display at Rennsport Laguna Seca Oct 2011 a 911/4, 2.5 Liter, 4 cylinder engine, 200 Horsepower 185 F/Lb Torque! Looks really nice and the guy I spoke with had an estimate on $$ but it was so high it flew in one ear and ya out the other, I have a picture but cant post it.

That would be 50hp per 625cc, it can be done but I always consider figures like that in an N/A carbed engine as optimistic. Funny that it has less torque than HP. |
