for about a year ive been wanting to do a v8 porsche project...
(instead i bought a boxster, then did up an nsx i bought)....
v8 for several reasons...
1. want to limit how much i spend, ie a $10k SBC or a 30K 930 engine...
2. want a NA engine....the 3.8 NA wont give me the HP i want, not even close.
3. i like to use nitrous oxide....good tempory hp, easily reversable (compared to turbo SCing), also leaves car at a lower hp in normal=easier to control)
4. the money i save one engine, will be spent in other areas such as brakes, suspension, chassis stripping&prepping, carbon fibre body, lexan windows etc....
5. this is a MUSCLE CAR....a fully customized PORSCHE...yes...these cars are still porsches, why???because porsche bulit them....
6. lighter than a 930 engine
7. this is a car i will drive hard and abuse.....this car will be made for this....if i blow the porsche engine ill be p!ssed, if i blow this ill laugh...
8. a large capacity engine always has advantages over smaller capacity engines....its called low end torque....this is a street/track car....i need power out of turns and off the line...only cubes help here...
ill start with an SC....(want power windows), itll then be stripped of everything and rebuilt....chassis strengthening and cage put in, 993 suspension, 993TT big reds, lexan windows, CF 993 GTR bodywork, then some very nice CF and leather interior, rebuilt and strengthened 915 (heard too much trouble fitting ins a g50-52)....
thinking a beautiful silver colour...with maybe some green/purple tint....dark tinted windows, a dual exhaust and ive fallen in love...
aim is the total project to come in around 100k AU (60US)....
result.... RSR like weight, with more power than a GT2
if its not a porsche wats would i name it...
