Was just curious...I have seen the 600 RWHP numbers here, but has anyone posted a 700+ RWHP dyno number from a 4 cylinder water cooler?
I heard through the grapevine that someone is working on a billet (steel sleeve) reworked 944 block.
I wonder how long it will be before we see a true (not folklore....aka "DOOOOOOM" lol) one-lap wonder engine from this?
I wonder..
Who could fathom such a beast??

you could with a big turbo and tuning, but it won't last long

Wow - that easy, huh?
I've had to delay spark until 15-10 BTDC before on a high HP 4 cyl. around peak torque, depending on efficiency... but then we get into diminishing returns. What about you?

Impossible !

Well Mr L, I think you know the answer to this poser now don't you???
Whoever is planning this will need some tools too....some special ones.

At very least, we're not talking about doing this using a 951's 2.5L 8v, right? I mean, with a 3.0(+)L 16v, one can begin to comprehend the question...

elargentino

Its a good bet that whoever is planning this will be starting with a 968.
I have ears....I hear things.

V2Rocket

it would probably take a 2.55L at minimum...


whoever ends up doing it ( ) might look into the closed-deck modifications that some vendors offer...

I heard that the engine goes to Sweden to settle an old debt...when the smoke clears?
Hopefully I heard right.

16.9?
Well...as long as he was 3 seconds faster than a 928GTS

Paulyy

if Duke ran ethanol insted of pump fuel. His engine might push out that much except it most likley wont last long. Thats over 230 hp per liter... At the wheels! and 175hp per cylinder at the wheels !

928's? let's no go off topic, we are taking about sport cars not sedans

You know something... even that little 3.2 Audi engined Cayenne is quicker than any 928 I ever drove.
Seriously.
Is that just because the Cayenne weighs 1000 LBS less than the 928??
