What are your thoughts or problems to be expected on either putting a Aluminum 2014 Chevy 4.3L V6 LV3 engine (285hp/305 lb Torque) in a 914 using a 901 Transmission or a 2017 Aluminum GM 3.6L V6 LGZ engine (308hp/275 lb torque) in a 914 using a 901 transmission? I’ve checked with Kennedy they have the correct adapter kit for the engines to the 901 transmission. Both engines weigh 340-400 lbs. each. What draws my attention to these engines is the late model technology, weight, size, hp, torque.....I know the stock new E92 ECU would probably be a bear. I realize the 901 trans would have to have the upper gears addressed and beefier axles and cooling would have to be addressed. Thanks

V6 s are the new v8s
So this swap makes sense If you keep it light weight. 180lbs springs..big sway bars etc you might be ok C/g i dont think is a issue ... With your corner exit speeds it will compensate (buy $ good cv joints) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smoke.gif) Does a boxster trans mean (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) a 5 speed man Or a 6 speed man or a pdk (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Can you use a 911 7 speed manual... That gets my vote (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smoke.gif) |
