Some say go six, some say stay four or go BIG four.
At what point does the SIX take over? I run a 90 hp four and have been told that my 'lil SIX will make me slower with my 130+ hp. PO says 245hp. Won't truly know 'til dyno day. Which may sway me. What kind of weight increase are we talking about? Will I enjoy the car more on the street with the SIX? Because let's face it I run 1-2 a/x a month compared to my 200 miles street driving. a/x season is coming to an end soon. I'll finish with the four. My project will be during winter. If the SIX is bogus I'll put the four back in. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Only my time with my car hobby has been spent. ( A few bucks, too. ) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) KT |

I have - an "anemic" 2.2 ltr e spec 6 in my car with Weber IDA 44 - and its done right - had a few 914 2ltr and 1.7ltr before they are different animals although a lot of fun -
I also have a 92 911 c2 with 250 hp - I would sell that car before I would sell my 914 - 6 2.2. I drive it on the track and on the street - the only thing I do is change tires. The car is reliable, low maintenance and it is a blast! But you have to do what you think is right for you. |
