POLL: Tuning, new engine or none?
Thinking seriously about giving my boxey a work-over.
Just found out that a new 987 here in DK will run me appr. 140.000Pounds (yes) with the extras I want, and that is simply lame. So for now I wanna make the most of my 986 Boxey instead.
Recently I got in contact with a professional performance shop that specialize in Porsche, and I got a decent offer on a mild engine mod. Reworked exhaust, new (extra) ECU, airfilter and a couple of minor things - all legal, no cat run-around or anything. This will give me appr. 25 BHP more and more importantly a lot more torque accordng to the shops dynographs from previeous cars they have made. This will tun me appr. 1100Pounds. (1500$)
The other option I am considering is getting a 997 engine.
This would of course give me 3.6 litres and 325 BHP - but perhaps also a lot of problems if the new engine doesnt fit perfectly and maybe needs ongoing adjustments. Anyone tried this? Rami?
I believe this will run me appr. 5-6000Pounds (appr. 9-10000$).
My car has 90.000 km on the clock and runs perfectly.
Please let me know what you think and PLEASE dont vote based on how cool you would think it would be that someone ELSE paid to have this done.
I'm asking you what YOU would do, if this were your money and your choice.
Thanks for helping out!
