WRX Powered 911, WTF!!!
 

What an idiot

I don't think he's an idiot at all. Would probably make a cleaner conversion than any v8, and makes decent power. Used subie engines are less expensive than a 911 rebuild.

I like it !

It's a PorsaRu or a Subasche.

I rather spend 2 grand putting a Ford V8 in an old Volvo wagon.

I think I just threw up in my mouth a little.

I don't think I like that in a 993. Maybe in an SC, but certainly not in a 993. ;)

This will be a lot cooler in about 10 years.

lol, my youngest lad, 11, exclaimed, " what a knob, that's a freakin' 993, he's definitely a 'tard

Haha! I owe your son a beer (or whatever beverage is appropriate for his age) if I ever meet him. That's great!

Good kid. Keep that one moving in the right direction!

I agree, although I wouldn't do this to a 993.

If I could find a Porscharu made out of a 912 or a mid year, I would buy it and use it as a daily driver.

What about a 996? Heck, it's already watercooled, so less hacking.

Hey, anyone notice the car has a 915 transmission? Can a 915 be swapped into a later car, or do you think it's a 911 with a bodykit?

914 guys have been doing this swap with WRX engines for awhile. Alot more interesting than cramming a SBC in there.

It's still a flat-6.

Just a quick look tells me that I don't think that is a true 993. The deck lid hinges are not from a 993 and the deck lid is not from a 993. The door panels are not from a 993 and the 915 transmission is a dead giveaway. I can't really tell anything more without additional pictures.

No, turbo flat 4. Seen these in 914's before, brutally fast

If it was in the US i would buy it at that price... prolly more dependable than the 944.

What would the HP number be? Subi turbo Vs 993 turbo?

The EJ20 version is 315 bhp. It looks like an aftermarket chip takes them well above that figure. They are about $1000.00 on ebay. A rebuild on my 350,000 mile 911sc several years ago was $8000.00 and rebuild on the top end to correct valve guides on the 993 was $5000.00 2 years ago. I can certainly see the economics.

OK, maybe I'm reading the auction incorrectly, but I don't think he's selling the whole car with engine installed. I think he's only selling the engine and components for an engine swap!!
