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. |

Robarabian when you choose the EJ20T did you consider the EJ25T available in 2004 Forester? So if you had to do it again and had access and funds you would of went with a Subie 5MT or 6MT trans., Or a Boxster trans?

So if you had to do it again and had access and funds you would of went with a Subie 5MT or 6MT trans., Or a Boxster trans? My car came built this way, but if I had to "upgrade" I would go EJ25. And I would love to see a Boxter S trans, but I am not aware of any adapter plates as of yet. I am in the process of setting up a Subie 5 speed. Have done the 4 wd to 2wd conversion, and have the MR 2 shifter and the shift linkage on the trans. I am waiting on a Clutch master cylinder adapter plate and will need to figure out the driveshafts and cables. Then it is time..... |

Your right a upgrade to a EJ25T with a Boxster S trans would make things pretty exciting real quick! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |
