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. |

Your exactly 1/2 second faster than my 3.0 Suby conversion. I get about 36mpg hi way. About $5500 to convert. |

And you get water in your car even when it doesn't rain and you have to live with the fact that your motor came out of the same brand of car that is driven by some of the worst drivers in this country. I'm looking at you Subaru Outback, i'm looking at you ... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/www.thesidekickorder.com-179-1566766634.1.gif) |

I'm looking at you Subaru Outback, i'm looking at you ... LOL. I have no problem with Subie power, and would probably go STi 2.5 in an ultimate scratch build, but Andy has a point here. Volvo 240 > Subaru Outback > Toyota Prius > Tesla…a progression of cars for people who don't like cars (and want you to know it) in the 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, and now. |
