DavyZ Posted December 24, 2002 Share Posted December 24, 2002 I absolutely love the twin turbo V8 engine with the tilt front end. Hopefully the image works: Davy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David K Posted December 24, 2002 Share Posted December 24, 2002 That is absolutely awesome! I wonder if we can get this guy over to HybridZ like the man with that other Porsche came to discuss his mods? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavyZ Posted December 25, 2002 Share Posted December 25, 2002 You gotta love a guy that can cut up a Porsche and do this with it: I'm very impressed with this car... Davy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mudge Posted December 25, 2002 Share Posted December 25, 2002 I thought about a 914 for awhile, nice cars. There is a semi-local guy putting a 350 in one, crate engine, and a modded Porch transaxle (915? 911? I forget). His race 914 is ~1700 pounds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Anonymous Posted December 25, 2002 Share Posted December 25, 2002 The guy with the 914 is a memeber here. When that was first posted someone emailed him and he posted the specifics of the car. Basically the whole car is 1 off (including the body parts he made himself!) Both of these cars rock Merry Christmas, Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest zfan Posted December 25, 2002 Share Posted December 25, 2002 That is one bad ass ride. Got to watch those turbo cars they are a killer. Ran into a guy at Ennis who had a 5.0 LX mustang with a big turbo. Track told him to slow it down or go home he was running 148 to 152 mph and it's a daily driver with a/c. Got to love it. Man was it a quiet car to. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay1970Z Posted December 28, 2002 Share Posted December 28, 2002 i looked into the whole porsche hybrid thing, but the conversion kits for them arent cheap, around 2500 dollars for a 944 kit i believe from www.renegadehybrids.com. I thought about doing either a 944 or a 928 instead of a Z but kinda lost interest. I originally thought about a 928 because they are cheap and all over the place around here, and they can handle the torque of a built small block pretty wall I would imagine, and it seems like a relatively easy swap since it already had like a 5.0L porsche V8. A local guy here was selling a late 60's porsche 912 with a crate 350 in it. My dad and I went down and checked it out, and I wasnt all that impressed. I loved the looks of the car, but it was just too weird seeing a backwards small block in the back of that tiny porsche. also, it probably won't last long because he was having major cooling problems. Another thing was the transaxle. Something was not quite right with it, must've been the way it adapted to the 350, because the guy selling it was a BIG dude, and even he was struggling trying to shift gears.
