I have 50 + people who bought the cases. In at least a dozen of these cases, the buyers were strongly considering used core motors to buy as a starting point for their builds. So what I am suggesting is that since they did not buy the core motors in the past few months, that the core motors are languishing a little, and it's driving the price down. It's just a hypothesis, you don't need to get all upset. |

A 2l S engine is something special. It’s a baby 906 engine. Don’t knock it until you try it, even if it’s not your preference. I know beer drinkers who still know a good wine when they taste one.

r-mm, lots of work and $$$$$ to stuff a 993 TT in a earlier turbo chassis. This 993 TT by Imagine auto installed in a 88 930 w/4spd. Lots of changes to get it in and 993 oil system is really a lot of re engineering to get everything to fit into a 88. This one was done by Bavarian Rocket Scientists.

I have a 3.3L with a G50 LSD. 1 bar spring. Turbo kicks in at 2500 rpm and is very linear on up. Sure 1st gear is short, but 3rd gear merging onto the highway is down right a scary freight train. 5th gear Is the perfect cruising gear.

I still have a problem finding 993 engines and transaxles at a reasonable price. The transaxles jumped from $3k all day long to $13k and the engines from $13k to anywhere from $16-$20k depending on needs. The biggest expense are the cylinder heads. Finding even cores is tough, used in good condition can run $2k+ a head and you need 6. At that point might as well go billet aftermarket.
I am building a turbo engine out of an N/A 993 case it can handle the power no problem. Transaxle has steel gears and shift forks.

Saw this on CL. Realize its a 964 not 993 motor but seems priced about right if truly turnkey. https://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/pts/d/new-york-city-very-rare-porsche-liter/6931198908.html

^^^ 325HP on a 100% stock engine. LOL I don't think so. It also has the aluminum intakes so probably an early 91 so it will need the head and cylinder update. I regretfully sold a similar engine about 6 years ago all I could get was $3500 at the time with 4 broken head studs needing the same TSB addressed. Boy have times changed.
