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!

There was an article abou it in an Excellence mag a few months ago. Good read. Basically, it made good power and was lighter than the six cylinder version. If you are interested, make sure you bring a fat wallet!

Yeah,

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"

Paul, it's one of those things that industrialist outlaw 356 owners do with their pocket change.

They sit around and drink Mexican beer and dream up shit to spend thier money on in a 50 year old car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)

How long before they jack one up and slide the Chyanne running gear under it?

I give them less than a year.

This is what porsche should have done. Too cool for words. A 914 with one of these is much cooler than any steeeenkin boxster. Just a shame they will never be available for reasonable money.

Reasonable has a curve:

"Dad, can I borrow $35.00 til payday? I had to buy a new starter, and I need gas"

"Dad, can I borrow $3,500,000? I am putting some money down on a golf course."

It happens.

You should hear them... He showed up to the Dunkel bros. swap meets with them running.


I would not hesitate to install one of these into a 914 (for free).
