POLO 4 cylinder 911 engine and 1967 912 almost done

[Chris Pomares]

I have a set of 928 spare wheels converted from 5.5 to 6 inches with a 4 3/4 backspace. These will be mounted with a short sticky tire for lower gearing to make spirited runs in the mountains. Currently the wheels have grey primer on them so they don't rust. Should I go with traditional silver, or, grey, black, or some color like golden green, Peru red, or some color of blue. What do you think?

Some dyno numbers from a 2.4 with shortened 993 heat exchangers I thought up. This is at sea level, mine were a corrected guesstiment at 5900 feet.
Different dynos different exhaust and my heads are not stock. The only true comparison would be to have the same exhaust and the same dyno.
With what Dean is doing to my long block and a new exhaust I'm hoping for 190 hp and 165 lbs/tq, which would put the engine right in the 2.4S territory with a car that has maybe 200 to 300 pounds less weight. These engines are relaxed yet powerful in the 3500 to 6500 rpm range yet are quite willing to go to 7200 just past their peak power rating. These are street engines. If you put a bigger cam in there you'd loose torque but surpass 200 hp if that's your thing.

Apparently the company that did the test had a file of a Andial 2.0-6.
Close to the same peak hp but a little less torque.

Here are some 2.4 #'s. The POLO 2.4's fall in between a E and S with 80 to 100 pounds less engine weight.
They make more torque and I'd guess it comes on a little sooner.

2.4 Liter 911 T 2.4 Liter MFI 135 hp @ 5600 140 lb-ft @ 4000
2.4 Liter 911 E 2.4 Liter MFI 165 hp @ 6200 147 lb-ft @ 4500
2.4 Liter 911 S 2.4 Liter MFI 190 hp @ 6500 154 lb-ft @ 5200

The next reSee 912 POLO car. A 53,000 mile 69 912. Hitting the road late 2017 or early 2018. This car will be a 2.7 with webcam 594/595 grind ( my engine is a 296i/296e grind), much bigger valves and ports than my engine. I'm guessing 210+ hp.

I have heard about and read about these engines. I had not seen a picture until today. Fantastik!!! Is an understatement. I am still marveling

If you have interest from time to time, you can go here to follow the 69 2.7 POLO project.

I've been working on a fan shroud conversion. The original one was a bit fragile. It fits perfect as it should with over 50 hours of work over 6 weekends.

I've been working on a heat and exhaust design for my car an the 69 912 car. Burns Stainless shipped my reSee Works spec muffler today. Things are starting to come together. I'll post more pictures in a couple weeks on my site about these cars.

It's been almost a year since this engine came out of the car. It's nice to trial fit a few parts and dream about getting the car back on the road before the snow falls next winter.

I should have a picture of the completed heat exchanger, exhaust, and muffler in a couple of days. There will be a jig made so it can be replicated. Here are some fog lights that I'll try on the car. It's just a matter if the car looks clean or too cluttered with them on.

69 912 conversion
Other than a couple 90 degree tubes to plumb toward the heater valves, and maybe fine tune the exit through the rear bumper the exhaust it's about done. Now its wait tell the engine can be run to see how it sounds and runs. I'm excited. The exhaust system is about 2 to 3 inches further forward than the 911 muffler and we reduced weight in the rear by about 7 to 10 pounds and that doesn't include the aluminum deck lid, licence plate panel, bumper horns, and just maybe if we're lucky a set of rear bumpers. That might be worth another 5 to 10 pounds.
I also got to see a Singer today. Very nice.
