      It's a great engine! But I'm still so confused about the swap, especially now that Porsche have had their own flat-four turbo engine for about 5-6 years now if people wanted to swap it into a 911.

      As a Porsche lover/owner (718 Spyder PDK) whose best friend drives an FK8 Type R I can tell you they are more alike than most people would give them credit for. Seeing this video and many like it I’d love to know if it would be possible to do this swap with a PDK trans to keep that turbo and motor on the boil? I’m an amputee and have access to a 997.1 with a blown motor that has a tiptronic.

    Good to see the Porsche swap game getting so much attention. A turbo K in a Cayman (K-man?) would be killer. I put together a LS 911 a few years...I definitely recommend any Porsche swap - 911, boxster, cayman, 944, 928...They're all really good cars and perfect for a K swap!

      There's a time attack team that ran a K24 for a while in their 944 with a sequential. Black and green car.
      I might build a sleeper 924 with a k24 (these names correlate too well) with cams 250+ hp. Pastel colored paint, funky plaid interior... I would daily it. Or a 928 LS daily with a great sound system?

    I don't know... I think I'll pass on the K swapped 911. A huge part of my love for the 997 is the damn motor. From the odd starter noise as the motor cranks over to the boxer 6 howl, it's all too good just to rip out and replace with a K motor. And 997.2 are considerably more reliable. I used to be a huge Honda fan. Then I discovered BMW I-6's and Lexus V8's and I wouldn't touch another Honda 4 banger.

  • @uknterror508
    @uknterror508 Před 5 měsíci +5

    The type of K series this is makes a huge difference in the response and exhaust note, this uses a pretty bottom of the barrel k series with the merged exhaust port cylinder head. In what it sacrifices in efficiency and a much stronger power output it gives a better low and mid range powerband that is better suited for tracks with turns in them instead of mid and top end power that you cant really utilize that isnt a 1/4mi 1/2 or stand mile etc. Not saying its bad but with this K engine I wouldnt push it much past 600whp, the block will take it but the cylinder head is a major choke point unless you do the older k series with the multiport exhaust. Much how like the new "supra" went from a single exhaust port (one for each three cylinders, so two in total) to a multiport in its later revision, the restriction and heat generated with the other style head was a choke point and found to be a cause for concern for anyone wanting to make north of 600whp

    IMS Bearing issues are such a small percentage of what breaks on a Porsche motor. It’s such a blown up issue in the Porsche community. Can it happen? Sure. Does it happen on every motor?No. Also, the K-swap is $15k just in parts? He didn’t say what his labor would be. I’d imagine in total, it’s the same price as rebuilding the 911 motor. I think it’s a cool car, but I’d rather rebuild my stock motor, than go with an engine swap from a different manufacturer, because it limits your options on who can actually work on it. IMO

    The sound is the killer for me; there is no 4 cylinder that sounds good aside from bike engines. The M96/97 is hardly sacred, but if I'm swapping a 996, it has to be an LS so it at least sounds good. Neither engine will ever touch a Mezger from a sound or emotion perspective, but an LS swapped 996 C2S would be pretty cool if you can't afford a 997. Those headlights will always keep the 996 on the cheaper end of the Porsche tree.

    I would love to see what this platform is capable of doing on a 1/4 mile stand point .. I understand that’s not what this was built for but would be interesting to see .

    Pretty cool way to make it all work.
    Personally, if I could choose a 4banger, id do S2K with a sc.
    if I was to go turbo, I’d do a 2JZ.
    If I could pick any I’d do I’d be looking at LS7/E46/E90 🤘

      If you swap a 2JZ into a 911 you'll have the only Porsche with a tail.

    Very cool swap, would be great to build the head to rev to the moon. I was wondering what kind of turbo they were running, sounds like G35 but a G25-660 would be great for the track with quick response. Cool to see all the gauges, A/C and traction control. very dialed.

    Nick did you make a kit fornus to k swap Porsche’s? If so I’ll go get this GT2RS it was wrecked but the frame and all is fine and interior is body panels and cosmetics need some love and the motor and transmission are blown, or locked up. But he said he’d take a number for it. And it love to see a K swapped 911 GT2RS. So it’ll be two dream cars making a baby dream car for me

    Porsche chassis with a k24 is the beez kneez. Very nice daily driver. For racing I'd recommend no turbo. Go k24-26 built all motor for an ultra light 10000 rpm monster. A 997 GT3.5 RS lol.

    The nickel plated cylinders won’t get beat up if it’s kept warm. Cold porsches don’t do well starting and driving in the cold weather. So heated garage and let it get to operating temperature before driving. And those motor last. But that Nicole playing getting scratched, I’ve only seen it on the porsches that are kept in colder climates

    I like the concept but the purest won’t accept it. The next thing is when it’s time to change the plugs, it’s an engine out affair, maybe putting the Porsche flat 4 and make a modern 912.

    This looks like very reliable fun - and I love a good Honda motor as much as just about anyone - but it’s definitely a bit odd hearing turbo VTEC sounds coming from a Porsche… I also wonder how the on-center to off-center lateral steering feel and handling is affected when directly compared to a stock Carrera with its original flat-six. Supposedly the main inherent benefit of horizontally-opposed engine designs are their reduced “center of gravity”, so I’m wondering if the (heightened) center of gravity can be felt (even just a bit), when approaching or exiting a corner. I would be really curious to examine this before beginning such a comprehensive swap. Also, in this regard, I wonder how a Subaru WRX EJ20 or EJ25 turbo swap/build (i.e. “super beetle”) might compare, even if a bit more expensive, as the engine layout and sound would seem at least a little more natural and intuitive, no?! @speedacademy
