Hi, I thought about DIY, but the distributor was in the way, and didn't want to risk spark plug wires being re-hooked up wrong. Also I didn't want to fool with drilling pilot holes. I'm a driver...

The newly-installed air block off plate decreased my engine oil temps on track from 1/2 scale (without the block off plate) to above 1/3 scale on the oil temp gauge. At highway driving, the oil...

True Dat! I tracked the E36 M3 a few years before retiring her to road duty only. She was too portly. Ginger's lighter and faster, MUCH more reliable and durable as a track car. Enjoy your beast!...

Yep, my car takes forever to warm up on cool days without an oil thermostat. The builder set up the car for hot lapping I guess LOL.

Iron Weight

Hi Flieger. Yep. The all-iron cylinders add 5 lbs/cylinder, so 30 lbs total extra engine weight compared with "nickie" Mahles. That's why the car's lightened with all unnecessary accessories...

Hi, Flieger and safe. I spoke with the engine builder (he is not anyone from Motor Meister). His cylinders are custom cast all-iron cylnders--walls and fins. You will not find them anywhere,...

Sounds reasonable also. You're getting a much better tub with a 993 I suppose. I do like the lightweight '88 Carrera tub on the track--which is the draw to doing the 3.6-L v-ram conversion--if I go...

Then why all-iron cylinders to build a 3.4 from a 3.2?

I'm at a loss as to why the engine builder would enlarge a known high-durability 3.2 with iron cylinders. Seems like de-evolution? The only reason would be to cut costs in hot-rodding a 3.2 to 3.4?...

Why use all-iron cylinders in a 3.4-L upgrade from a 3.2?
