I am sure ths has been discussed before but I couldn't find anything using the search. So, has there been a comparison done between a 911 six and big four, like Jake Raby's engines? Looking at:
1. Overall cost of engine (plus consideration of the cost of the conversion to a six from a four) 2. power hp/tq 3. engine life 4. other issues? |

James, again, you aren't even in the same ball park.
An $8k /4 won't get you anything like the preformance of a $10k /6. As far as I can tell, it costs about $15k for a /4, that even approcaches the performance of the /6, and it won't last. (the performance) So, around 200hp, that needs alot of service in 100k miles, to stay that way, or 200+ hp, that requires less service, and lasts in situ, 3x as long. We need to make a points system, and itemize. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) In your above post, DIY /4, vs pay somebody /6. Time is worth something. M |
