QUOTE(Mueller @ Nov 24 2017, 09:45 AM)  QUOTE(Andyrew @ Nov 24 2017, 07:41 AM) The 6 is just a VR6. Mueller was going to do it on his old car and I think it would work. Just a brick of an engine (heavy) for the power outlet. However if you wanted to put a monster turbo on it and go for 700 hp thats not a bad choice. The better Porsche V6 would be from the Macan, it is a true 90° V6, basically 2 cylinders removed from the Cayenne V8. BradR thinks many wreckers would take as low as $1500 for one since there is no demand. George, the Macan V6 comes from the factory twin turbo'd! Hmm, Did he comment on the bolt pattern? I would be curious to see what it would take to bolt it to a manual trani. Probably custom flywheel required. Are they available in a manual? I mean a PDK would be a blast (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) As with most modern engines, electronics would probably be the biggest issue.... |

Here is the trans bolt pattern on the Cayenne ...your starting point for the bellhousing adapter.  |

Can you imagine the heat soak on that starter living buried down there? Our build moves the starter to a more conventional area >>back to the bellhousing (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

996 starter replacement isn't a whole lot better (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)
