Can a water cooled Porsche engine be used for a 914 conversion? If so, does anyone here have one or know of one?
Thanks. |

I believe someone did wind up putting a Boxster engine in one. I've only seen a couple of pics, and I don't remember if it was driving or not, but it was installed. The pics may have been on one of the Facebook groups.
Marty (MSDS) and his crew are putting a twin-turbo Cayenne V8 into one. There's a thread on here. It is awesome but a whole lot of stuff is being done to the car. As mentioned, Rick built the Alien with a 928 engine. He moved the firewall forward to make it fit. There may be a VR6 swap out there in the wild somewhere; some of the early base-model Cayennes ran a version of that so it might technically qualify. I am not aware of any others so far. The 944 motors are basically half a 928 motor, so you'd have the same problems fitting one as the V8. Not sure about the 924, but I'd guess it would be similar. --DD |

I know you cannot turbo a 914
But if i had unlimited resources $$$ I would want a 914 with 993 turbo powerplant 400horses may be overkill but i assume it would cruise at 100mph all day and that is damn sexy to me I know i should buy a buick |
