There has been all kinds of engine swaps into the Base 914s (Porsche Aircooled 6 cyls-2.0L 2.2L 2.4L 2.7L 3.0L 3.2L 3.6L) along with a large range of Subaru Conversions and LS1 engines, SBC, any other conversions, along with 2056 builds etc. I’m sure a lot of people besides myself would like to see some performance specs after these conversions were completed (0-60mph 0-100mph, 1/4 mile, roll on performance) along with transmission changes and estimated cost for conversion.
Example: Upgraded to 2056cc build (Fats Performance), 125-130hp, dual 40 carbs, cam etc., headers, stock 901 side shift trans. With Rennshift Shifter, 911 suspension conversion. 0-60 6.5 seconds. 1/4 mile about 90 mph. Cost for drivetrain including trans rebuilt approx $10,000.00 in 2015. |

Patrick which Diesel engine did you use and did you stay with the 901 trans? ......Dave I know from my own experience that the 2056 build is a big improvement and I’m sure the 3.2 with the 915 trans has got to be quite the experience. Thanks for your input.

Thanks for your input. A very high mileage vw aaz . 1.9 turbo with mechanical fuel injection. Lots sold in canada but I don't think it ever got sold in the U S. Supposed to be between 75 and 90 horse depending which year but easy to get more out of them. Anvance the timing and turn up the fueling and they make lots of power. Supposed to be able to handle 30 lbs boost but no point going that high without an intercooler. Used the stock 901 trans. |
