I'm looking for opinions on the value of a 7R 911 engine case, fully machined and Case Savers installed by Ollie's? Thanks. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon_bump.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Multiple people are getting into the replacement case market. Billet aluminum cases. Heavier than Mag but much stronger and ready to build right out of the box. Won't be cheap but Mag has a short working life that gets shorter when heated. The aluminum cases should last our lifetime and beyond.

Won't be cheap but Mag has a short working life that gets shorter when heated. The aluminum cases should last our lifetime and beyond. There's a guy touting his replacement 6 cylinder cases but as yet not one has been produced for the market. Billet VW cases are another matter. Were I in the market to do a hot rod I'd consider the 914 4R"000 Build" in the latest 000 magazine. Shooting for 1700 pounds. From the article the author makes a valid point that the six is around 110 pounds heavier than the 4 and it only gets heavier with displacement. I'm not a POLO engine buyer because the output doesn't justify the price. A FAT engine suites me. I know they work from my friends experience with his 2.8 which was the scourge of the autocross scene and FTD at the PCA Parade in 2008. They've only gotten better. |
