He states that the engine is out of a 911SC and the only performance change he mentions is a performance chip.
An SC engine makes either 180 or 205 hp depending on which version. The fact that he installed the chip eliminates the possibility of it being carbed or CIS (or slide valve injection). So, I conclude it is a 3.2 out of a mid 80's carrera and not out of an SC. That engine in stock form puts out around 207 hp, maybe a little more but not much. rule of thumb doesn't work here if we're talking stock, that rule is more geared towards race prepped engines. how many NA standard street engines has porshe produced that had 275+ hp? (besides 3.6 liter 993 and 996 engines). What did Olav do to his 3.2 to get 275 hp? I'd bet it isn't even close to stock. So called performance chips are questionable as far as how much they actually help, many very knowledgeable people have suggested that they are good for less than a 10 hp increase. Suppose this guy did spend a fortune trying to build a 290 hp 3.2. if he did, why would he be so darned proud of his chip and not mention the other $20k worth of engine modifications it would take to get there? The add makes it sould like the engine is stock. maybe I should just be quiet and let everyone believe my 3.0 liter has 290 hp too (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) |
