996 motor in to 914
I can get a complete drive train out of a wrecked cab for Cheap. Has anyone done this swap? Steve

Nope. I have heard that they are too wide but can't say for certain. I wonder if it could be done would the car still be legal for PCA events.
I just purchased a Mazda 20B (Twin Turbo 3 rotor engine) that makes 300 hp/300 lb-ft of torque stock. I am told that with the proper fueling, boost control and engine management the stock twin turbo's are good for 500 hp. I purchased the adapter plate for my 915 transmission from Kennedy Engineering (highly recommend them by the way.) The biggest challenge with the project I believe will be the cooling (radiator, intercooler, oil cooler) I plan on weighing the engine to see what it weighs. My car is a 914 with a widbody kit and currently weighs 1400 lbs. I figure if I can keep it under 2000 lbs and get 400 hp out of it I will have one smokin' ride. Here is the car:  and here is the engine that will be going into it:  If you want to know what one sounds like I have a video with a stock one installed in a Delorean and another highly modified one on a dyno. Delorean Video Big Turbo 20B on Dyno There is also a great video of a 20B in a Toyota Corolla that has amazing acceleration. The link is here: 600 HP 20B Toyota |

Where did the body kit come from on this car? Any links to kits would be helpful.

It's a Sheridan Motorsports kit. My car has the normal body front and wide body rear. I've been told that this will lead to understeer and that I should have the wide body front and rear. The link to their website is:
Sheridan Motorsports Brett: What was the purpose of your link? I posted the same info here in case 914 people were not reading the 911 forum. You've got a nice 914. I would have liked to go Porsche 6 but the finances just weren't there to get the power I desired. Steve: Sorry didn't mean to hijack your thread. If I see or hear of anyone who has a 996 swap I'll be sure to post here. Last edited by soloracer; 02-28-2004 at 04:03 PM.. |
