Is there a such thing?
I was thinking about reliability and general life-span for the /4 and the /6, is it really worth going to a /6 just for longer life (possibly) and a bit more power? Or should I build a good fresh 2.0? |

The 2.0 will be less expensive, both to rebuild and to maintain. You already have the stuff to install the 2.0 in your car, and the motor is a simpler design.
That said, you will get more power per CC with the six, and it won't be working as hard as the four to make the same HP. IF you want to continue down that route, the SBC conversion is even more bang for the buck. Lots of performance parts, and they are uber cheap compared with Porsche parts. Personally, I like the sound of a six,and I like the fact that it is all "factory" parts. I would suggest making a pros and cons list. Make sure you add intangibles like the fact that it is a real Porsche motor (yes, that matters to some people) and your personal preferences in a 914. |
