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. |

Kent's EZ30D car on a sticky tire is probably a sub 4 second 0-60 if not mid to low 3 second range with the right driver/conditions, oh and with the A/C turned off (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
Dollar for dollar the suby swap is probably the winner unless you have a hookup for a cheap LS and Boxster S trans. My EZ36R is 260hp/250ftlb (crank) in it's stock form with all the emissions equipment. Tuned and with basic mods (intake, header, exhaust) they come real close to 290whp and still keep that bulletproof reliability. And the icing on the cake is the motor and suby trans weigh less than the Porsche 6. I'm a function over form so it's all about getting the most for my dollar and making it as fun and reliable as possible. |
