From previous threads and personal experience I now have a better understanding of the following:
2.7 High Compression track motor with 40 IDA Webers (inside our first 914-6) 3.2 Stock DME transplant (from previous thread here at 914Club) 3.6 993 motor with stock DME (inside Fritz, our current track car) I would like engine configurations (comp ratio, carb sizes, cams, etc) for a 3.0 liter case motor. I am still looking at what to build for "The Beast". I can run 100+ octane race gas as this is a track only teener. I prefer injection, but carbs maybe the only way to get it on the road cost wise. I currently have a set of Weber 40's on my bench. I want a 200 hour motor if possible. I am planning on running a 901 box behind any of the above configs except for the 3.6 if I go that route again. What configurations and what HP can I achieve with a 3.0 case? I am open to bigger jugs..... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif) Thanks for the help! Bill P. |

Bill,
AJRS converts all of his cars over to 915's when they hit 250hp (and the 901's were cooled too) Its a money thing it becomes economical to do the conversion based upon life expectancy and rebuilds.... the conversion pays for itself in rebuild savings. if you intend to keep the car more than a year or so then think about a smaller motor or a bigger tranny. I watched a bunch of guys go through this. Carrying a spare tranny with them to every event is not fun. brant |
