I was reading the Excellence article about the budget 912 racer and the owner claims 140hp out of the engine. They didn't talk the about the price of getting that kind of output from 2 liters except that there was alot of head work and special pistons were used. ($$$$) Anybody have an idea of what it costs to get a reliable race motor with that kind of power? And, if you can do it, is it only a track motor or could you autocross it also?

KT I see you've been hanging out with Grant (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) actually, his question was a little vague, is he talking a true 912 motor or is he asking about building a Type IV? Does he need a "race" motor or is he just using the term loosly? |
