Brother.....I have seen the light! A 3.6 Varioram...

[Craig 930 RS]

I bagged the idea of a 3.2 to 3.4 conversion.......bought a 1997 3.6 Varioram - going with a Steve Weiner modified Motronic with room for possible RS cams and other mod$ for the future.

79SC.....er RS with Varioram!

Two thumbs up!! What ever happened with the 3.2?

Welcome to the dark side.

"That kind of torque would even scare a guy like me."

[JonT]

whats the benefits of the Weiner modified motronic? Sounds like fun!

[Jack Olsen]

The 1996-98 OBDII motors are special. The alarm system is integral with the computer system, and any change to the chip mapping will disable the DME unit.

[Steve@Rennsport]

We alter the fuel & timing maps at all throttle positions as well as disable the immobilizer (drive-block).

The motor makes more torque and has improved throttle response. With race gas, it gets even better, and there are other options for cams, 3.8 P/C's, and other internal mods...

Now the thought of that is just plain scary . . . . now if only I could convince the CFO that another transplant would be beneficial at this time

Welcome to the club!

I pick-up my car today, and I also went with a US '97 3.6 varioram using a Steve Weiner modified ECU. I can't wait!

Steve, Did you go through Loren before making that statement?

Seriously, this sounds like it going to be an awesome SC.

Brakes and Suspension upgrades to follow?

[Moses]

I think the thing that will surprise you the most is how beautifully driveable these cars are. My car has great balance. It's easy to drive, but it's fast as hell.

HAHA - I was thinking the exact same thing...

[Bill Verburg]

I think that you made a good decision. There is lots of room to grow starting from where you are.

[mjshira]

everytime I hear about another 3.6 vram upgrade I start eyeing my visa and then my hand shakes and then.... reality creeps in and I realize I already spent my 911 budget for the year :-)

Congrats and keep us posted!

Welcome to the club. Just a friendly warning...it's not easy to drive with an erection. You just have to learn to overcome it because it's unavoidable.

[Crash94536]

I WANT ONE TOO!!!

I have an 84 with 3.2, how much (approx.) did it cost?

How difficult is it for a backyard mechanic to do?

Will the 915 tranny take that much power?

[RickM]

"Just a friendly warning...it's not easy to drive with an erection"

I'm on the floor...lol....time to get outta here.....

[Craig 930 RS]

3.2 to a 3.4, twin plug ad nauseum just wasn't gonna cut it........too much money for not enough performance with too many questions. That, and I'd be rebuilding an engine with fresh rings and a completely rebuilt top end!


Varioram:

20% more torque than a 964 engine at 4k rpms. Bwa ha ha ha ha ....
Perhaps 300 hp (gonna be damn close to it) with the Steve Weiner magic.

Engine was $8,900 and in incredible shape. Driven hard, Mobil 1 every 3k miles with records, and ITS CHASSIS DIED A NOBLE DEATH AT THE TRACK



Less than 4% leakdown COLD.

And I'll have to learn to drive with wood.

Yes, but you may lose some other parts periodically.
