New crankcases for the air-cooled Porsche 911 can now be ordered
If for some reason a new crankcase is needed for the air-cooled Porsche 911, it seems that until now it was necessary to look for a used one.
However, if the air-cooled Porsche 911 is a model manufactured between 1984 and 1998, it is said that new crankcases are currently being sold for them, and they are ordered via Porsche dealers. It is possible.
However, since this is overseas news, I do not know if it is supported in Japan, so if you need it, please contact a dealer handling Classic Porsche.
At least overseas (US) it is possible to order via a dealer ^ ^
Accidental discovery from Porsche 962C
Until now, it is said that the stock of these classic Porsche crankcases was low, but recently Porsche Historic Motorsport started manufacturing crankcases for the Porsche 962 Group C car (Porsche 962C), at that time Someone is
"That? Isn't the crankcase of Porsche 962 and Porsche 911 almost the same?"
It seems that he noticed that. It was such a discovery ^^
So Porsche's historic motorsport division shared this information with Porsche's classic division, and a local company started work.
So, it seems that it is now possible to order three versions of crankcases corresponding to seven types of Porsche 911 models.
Below are the Porsche models that each of the three versions corresponds to:
- First: All 1984-1989 Porsche 911 Carrera or Turbo models
- Second: Porsche 964 Turbo 3.3 liter model made from 1991 to 1992
- Third: Porsche 964 or Porsche 993 generation Carrera, and Porsche 964 Turbo 3.6 liters, Porsche 993 turbo model
As mentioned above, the newly manufactured crankcase can basically be used for the Porsche 911 manufactured between 1984 and 1998, but it is extremely rare.
- (Not applicable) 3.8 liter model of Porsche 964 and Porsche 993
It is said that it is not possible to respond to.
This crankcase for air-cooled Porsche 911, the price in the United States is $ 7,978.85 (about 840,000 yen).
It's a little expensive, but it's said to be worth it if you're doing a full restore.
Limited to 100 crankcases for air-cooled Porsche 911
However, at the very end, the information is "What?", But it seems that the newly manufactured crankcase for the air-cooled Porsche 911, even though it is new, uses in-stock parts. It seems that only 100 pieces are manufactured due to that relationship. And when 100 of them are sold out, it's over.
If you need it, you may want to contact us in a hurry ^^
