There has been all kinds of engine swaps into the Base 914s (Porsche Aircooled 6 cyls-2.0L 2.2L 2.4L 2.7L 3.0L 3.2L 3.6L) along with a large range of Subaru Conversions and LS1 engines, SBC, any other conversions, along with 2056 builds etc. I’m sure a lot of people besides myself would like to see some performance specs after these conversions were completed (0-60mph 0-100mph, 1/4 mile, roll on performance) along with transmission changes and estimated cost for conversion.
Example: Upgraded to 2056cc build (Fats Performance), 125-130hp, dual 40 carbs, cam etc., headers, stock 901 side shift trans. With Rennshift Shifter, 911 suspension conversion. 0-60 6.5 seconds. 1/4 mile about 90 mph. Cost for drivetrain including trans rebuilt approx $10,000.00 in 2015. |

It’s not quite the same, but I had a 2.0 legacy turbo in a 63 baja bug that was about 300hp to the wheels. I ran a 1/4 mile in the low 12s. And that was with truck tires and a bus transmission. The car weighed about 1900 lbs. I bet with a well sorted turbo suby conversion and a modern trans in the 914, a decent driver could get down into the low 11s.
Doing a bit of napkin math, I figure my 914 will have the same power to weight ratio as a modern GT3. |
