Car Forum / Porsche / Porsche Cars / December 2004924 Engine Compatibility
Hi, i recently brought a porsche 924 turbo and a few days later the engine siezed. im just curious if anyone knows of any engines that can be put in other than porsche engines? Frome what i understand there will need to be some changes made to the bell housing. does anyone know what this would cost? thanks adam You can install a Chevy V-6 or V-8. Keep a few things in mind... A good job will cost you around $10K (In a $2K car) If you can't do things yourself, set aside another $2K to $3K for issues. Unless you pay more for the lighter heads, you will have to beef up the suspension to handle the weight. You will DEFINITELY have to upgrade the brakes. You will have to live without A/C You will NEVER recoup the cost you put into it. You will be using Chevy parts...not exactly the number one name in reliability. Basically, I am saying, save your money, scrap the 924 and with what you would spend on a conversion, get a nice Turbo, S, S2, 911SC. > Hi, > i recently brought a porsche 924 turbo and a few days later the engine [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > thanks > adam The head is completely different to the standard 924 > Hi, > i recently brought a porsche 924 turbo and a few days later the engine [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > thanks > adam You may be able to pick up a second hand 924 engine in NZ quite cheaply. The is a scrapyard out of Hamilton that wrecks just Porsches. > Hi, > i recently brought a porsche 924 turbo and a few days later the engine [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > thanks > adam 924 came initially with an Audi engine. When they went to the 944 it was a Porsche built engine. While both will fit, modifications required may make it too expensive. Join Porsche Club America (www.pca.org) and contact their technical guy on 924s who can give you a more detailed answer. |
