Ours does not have an SPG crank, it has a Scat Crank...

My friend has a 912 with turbo and 1700cc cyl's... how much can the engine take?? A bit of topic this, sorry! Does anyone know?
Title: Re: 48 ida on porsche 912 engine Post by: Lee.C on September 26, 2006, 17:36:49 pm I'd also like to know alittle more about these engines - I was thinking of buying one a while back to put in a bug, do they fit straight onto a volkswagen box?

I think this one has pushed the 912-engine quite to the max without turbo: http://www.race-cars.com/carsales/porsche/1119393120/1119393120ss.htm Title: Re: 48 ida on porsche 912 engine Post by: Zach Gomulka on September 26, 2006, 20:05:39 pm 1796cc?! Weak! :P Thats alot of coin for 160hp...
Title: Re: 48 ida on porsche 912 engine yeeak ! Post by: Bad Junker on September 28, 2006, 18:43:14 pm First of all putting 48s or 46 IDAs on these engines are nothing new ! For the big Solex 40 P II manifold theres a Scat adaptor - like an extra manifold to accept the 48s. simply named adaptor/manifold for 912--to 48 IDA.
Second who else than someone for pure nostalgic reasons or Historic racing would ever use the crappy 356/912 engine ? ? Big, bulky heavy and with a VERY weak crankcase. I had a few and they sure are fun while they last. Remember back in 84-85 I had a roofchooped -63 sunroof beetle with a Super 90 engine, pretty much leaked trough the casting and EXPENSIVE to work with,and again heavy as F#Īk ! a hopped up 1641-1915cc or the likes are a better choice. A good friend are a Porsche professional dealing with 356/901/911s etc he built a all out race 356 engine for a customer and 180hp is THE most you could ever wish from these lumps and at what cost ? ? ::) well just about 15 000+ euros and you need to nurse them more than a newborn child ! :P Title: Re: 48 ida on porsche 912 engine Post by: bullitt on September 28, 2006, 23:02:45 pm right junker:pure nostalgic reason!!!! tht's my spirit
