Has anyone managed to stuff a cayenne motor into a 914?
What transmission? What about fuel and ignition? |

How much does the Cayenne motor weigh? Haven't weighed the 4.5L prior to the hot rod build ( now 5.0L ) , the stock weight could easily be found online. Our engine is now void of ; the OE lower oil pan ( would hang approx 9" below center of crank ), its internal dry-sump ( the oe location is in the wet oil pan ) , starter motor, vvt system, iron exhaust manifolds , turbos and a bunch of emission gadgets. Now closer in weight to the Ruf RGT alum V8 at 396 lbs. I've calculated that the new drivetrain will have approx 2" clearence to the oe 914 firewall ( lower edge), no interior intrusion, and excellent cv joint / axel geometry. The alum engine adapter-to-trans adapter plate is only .750" in thickness , and everything hangs on Wevo HD mounts. Engine is now able to sit lower in the 914 (with a custom dry sump pan ) for better cg, and ground clearence equal to (or better) than a flat 6. Transaxle weighs 175 lbs. dry. Not familiar with the Cayenne v6 specs ¡ Marty |
