911 head conversion

Does anyone know of a successful 911 head conversion on a TIV done in Australia?

Havent seen it done, but being that the 911 Heads have overhead camshafts, that will take some engineering like Iswinkels was doing fitting WRX heads to a type 1.

what sort of modifications are you talking about bigger valves and a porting ???

did the wrx head conversion succeed??

no I am talking about grafting complete heads from a 911 to a type 1 or 4. there is a good thread in shoptalkforum cant find the link at present but has some good images and technical descriptions

Have you looked at the DRD heads for T IV motors as an alternative?

Aichelseder, Robert and Heinrich. They have a website but for the life of me I couldn't find it on google. They race two 1303s in autocross in Germany. One has 911 heads on it.

here it is www.vw1303s.at

They are pretty serious...

hi,this guy called russ fellows has done it,his car is amazing really really quick and not noisy at all here some info http://www.centralvwaudi.com/Russ_Fellows.htm this motor is out now and a larger motor fitted,cj.

maybe see if Russ wants to sell the whole motor. 👍

be a cheaper and easier way to get round a lot of fabrication. you also know that the motor is good for whatever you want to do with it. Russ was doing 10 sec quarters on this setup if memory serves me correctly.....then driving the car home up the motorway a few hours. 😵

Pete now thats what I call a true street drag car, not like all these street registered vehicles at WSID that turn up on flat trays!

Has anyone seen any pics of the project that Iswinkels is undertaking?

No drd heads as I am keen on OHC. There are some amazing threads -

Unfortunately many photos are now gone and the project appears to have faltered. Still, gives some idea of the engineering involved.

thanks managed to find three images amongst the two threads you posted. Has anyone saved any images or can repost them? It would be great to hear whether there has been any progression the motor or has it not had any further work in the past 2 years?

Michel, Buy Iswinkles motor off him and finish that.

GTMac, speaking of which, when the heck has your car been at WSID recently? 😉 it's all very well to bag people who trailer there cars there, but at least the cars got there and had a go....and speaking from experience, there's a lot to be said for having a trailer for if something breaks. It allows you to drive harder without worrying about getting home. 😏
