I had always assumed that the type 4 was also used in the 912. However it seems that they used a polo motor instead. It actually looks like a 6 cylinder less 2 cylinders.
Has anyone used one of these in a 914? Any more power to be gained? Advantages & disadvantages? Thanks DAvid |

Yes, but the entire 912 philosophy (don't tell them the factory was just using up the leftover engine supply) is a lighter, more nimble car with better balance.
A six would ruin the entire 912 mystique. Eric Shea Here is a article that covers Eric's point of the left over 616 engines and Porsche's first try at a 4 cylinder Porsche engine. From what I've heard Porsche will be offering a turbo 4 in the next couple of years. By the way. The 356 SC made 95hp. The 912 engine was slightly detuned to 90hp to make it easier for first time Porsche owners to drive in the city. Dean only cut 2 cases. A ruined mag case for a trial fit and one 3 liter case that he made a working engine out of. He has a degree in mechanical engineering. He then designed a 4 cylinder case and has it cast out of aluminum. http://www.pompolodesign.com/netherlands-article.html http://www.excellence-mag.com/issues/205/a...re#.U6dnqPldXDW |
