How do a 200hp 6 and a 200hp 4 drive compared to eachother. I know there are several ways to get 200hp out or either. I am interested in a daily driver 200hp 6 or 4. Does anybody have any dyno charts of these? Is the 6 more peaky? is the 4 more torquE? Type IV and Porsche 6 please.


I am not trying to start a flame war. I am just looking for information cause I found an empty spot in my brain, and I need to fill it before something else goes in there.

Jake, that sounds like fun.
I seriously doubt anyone will actually make this happen.

If I end up with a 200hp SIX by then, I may be your guy. ( serious )

On the other hand:

I'm sure you could come up with the parts and build this.
But, isn't the 200hp TIV much higher than that, pricewise to the end user?

Are we talking a 2316 (?) . What does the machine work/balancing cost alone?

I'd love to see THE final cost breakdown listed item for item and the final pricetag for a reliable/streetable, turnkey, 200hp motor that could realistically live for 50-100k miles with some occasional DE and a/x use.

Isnt that free? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Like I said you wont see anyone publishing full cost of a big T4 conversion (200 HP) as its embarrassingly expensive.
