Looks wide and tall.

IMHO this only makes sense paired to a PDK and a computer that can handle it. 300hp is child's play for just about any other motor.

Is this motor a relative of the Audi T4?

Audi doesn't sell a flat 4 motor. So I'd say no.

I'm all for "to each, his own", but have you driven a PDK car in Sport Plus mode? They are pretty fantastic, in terms of outright shifting performance and always, almost magically, being in the perfect gear at all times.

The act of physically "fitting" this engine into a 914 is just one part of this challenge. There's no demand for these engines, hence the price tag.

Your input means a lot.

Of course there's no demand until an engine blows, or someone uses one for something else. It just looks interesting.

Also, in a 914, the turbo would be right behind your seat.

Bell housing looks the same pattern as a 996 and it looks just as wide as a 996 engine so likely too wide.
But they do sound like a T4 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

My comment about “no demand” comes from the conversions that people are doing to 718s to remove these engines, and fit a six. The main reason why this is being done is because the dislike of the “sound” from these engines.

They have proven to be more reliable and less failure prone than their six cylinder peers of the same era based on our experience.

Throw (or sell) the turbo away... make it a lightweight Porsche 4cyl N/A build...hmmm a 4 banger version of the GT3 engine?

97 and 98 are the best that were built from the whole engine family.
