4-cylinder 911 motor Options

[BravoHotel]

Anyone seen or heard of this? Apparently this guy, Dean Polopolus, has perfected his kit that takes any donor 911 motor (2.0 - 3.6) and turns it into a 4-cylinder. The kit contains new block, crank, and cams. Basically you get the reliability of a 911 motor w/ weight advantage of a 4...plus OHC's! It was featured in the Aug issue of "Excellence"

Anybody know how much?

One of his test engines (97mm stroke X 74.4mm bore = 2186cc) made 220hp.

I DIG IT!

That's the guy...

"Engine

The engine is unique, it was designed and built by Advanced Performance Engineering, lead by Dean Polopolus. It is a 911-4, an innovative and powerful 4-cylinder 911 type engine, case, and components. A lightweight high performance engine, the 911-4 is based on proven components of the standard 911 engine.

The engine is 2250 cubic centimeters, with a bore and stroke of 97mm x 74mm. The pistons are Venolia, the rods are Carillo and the cams have 906 profiles. The 911-4 runs 48 IDA Webers on top of 3.o ltr twin plug heads. The engine has a unique sound since it does not fire at 180-degree intervals, rather at 120, 240, and 120. The distributor is a late Carrera 2 unit that has been modified to run a German Bosch pulse generator. A pair of Bosch CD boxes fire the motors at just under 11 to 1 compression. The 911-4 runs 24 degrees total distributor advance and dynos out at 220 plus reliable horsepower"
