Just bites that these awesome cars were left with very little on the table from Porsche for gains

I just hate the idea of spending that kind of money for a motor I cant get more then 320hp from.

If I could get 400hp out of this 3.4 for a reasonable price, I'd jump on it. I've heard limited stuff about this elusive stroker for the Porsche but I cant find any info on it. plus once you start talking about modding a Porsche a lot of Porsche purists scream to high heaven about daring to touch these cars and lips get quiet lol
I'm putting 420hp into my boxster through a motor swap and its not an ls, porsche or audi motor and I'm doing it for under $5k
I just want to have fun... is that so wrong lololol

I've heard about you and tried contacting you but no reply.
As far as cost goes. I don't build the same engine twice, so prices are never going to pertain from one person/ application to another.
What matters is value to our purchasers, and thats not necessarily going to come from the purchase price.

Not sure what you did there, but no email sits in our inbox for more than 24 hours without a reply. If you tried to contact me here, or some other way, its probably not monitored. I handle all dialogue through our email accounts, so we can document all exchanges of information.

understood on pricing, at the time I was trying to find info about you I was just looking for a ball park figure on what I could expect so I could get some prices on china ebay for my kidney so I would have the funds and not waist your time lol
Thanks for chiming in... greatly appreciated

I'm sure jakes stuff is not cheap especially from what limited stuff I have heard about his work being pert near the best there is. And I've also heard he is extremely down to earth, practical and wont sell you something you don't need. so definitely worth looking into in my book.

In the days when I sold the engines personally, I spent 3/4 of my time telling people NOT to do something, and not to spend money. I've trained my replacement to do the same thing, and he gets the same rave reviews. We recently had someone try to add 18,000.00 worth of "options" to their engine, and I just had to talk to him. At the end of the conversation he saved 15K of that money.
I did send you another email Jake.
anyone else have any input as to what they have done for extra umph out of our cars? I put a sticker on my side mirror "object in mirror are loosing"... it feels faster to me

I Have already purchased all my parts and its just waiting for me to put it together. it could easily be smog legal. this is an American motor and eric down at texas speed (I think that was the name of his company) can make you up any adaptor plate you want ![Wink](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/wink.gif)

keeping with the theme of the thread.... do you offer anything in regards to performance increase, displacement, turbo, cams, porting etc.? the price is pretty much what everyone is charging which we are all going to be paying at one point or another but what about upgrades? that's not a hit against your post, you offer a good deal I just mean in regards to getting a little more umph out of these cars.
I have the fabspeed exhaust system, cold air intake and a tune that doesn't work right. Fabspeed has said they can supercharge my motor for $10k but I would need to get it rebuilt first as my miles are to high(127k) for the boost. I agree, I'd want to get my motor rebuilt before adding that anyway but then I'm at $10k for a rebuild, $10k for a supercharger.... $20k for 400hp
I could swap in the dreaded ls for that much and get more hp with a few CHEAP mods to the ls motor.
our car are what they are... like mentioned just curious about options and wishing there was more.

Im sure there are others like me that love the 996 platform but dont want to spend a huge amount of money to have a 911. With the 996 and a rebuild this is possible. If someone wants to get more performance from an engine or more HP then by all means go to a builder like FSI, 9xx, S-Car-Go, BBi, or any others that are out there. 9xx already offers rebuilds for 7K with a core swap if your engine is not damaged. There are several engine builders with affordable pricing that have their engines running in cars that have driven hundreds of thousands of miles on the rebuilt engines. Just call any of them.
What we Believe:
We believe that the Porsche 911 in all of its variants represents a quintecential package of performace, reliability, practicality and beauty. The Porsche 911 996 generation is a perfect balance between the pure driving essence of the original 911 yet has modern comforts and ameneties. For this reason we wish to offer the world Porsche 996 restoration services at an affordable price so people can enjoy and experience the Porsche 911 experience and change their perspective of what a sports car should be.
Stay tuned...
