HIFF38 on a 12g940 head on 998 block sound any good? that's been my plan for my project mini for a while now

also turbo 998 is a very tempting prospect!

the 998 guide was great reading last night! cheers!

Glad you liked it

Yeah not bad remember you will have to pocket the block or recess the exhaust valves into the head. If you dont want to you could go for 12g295
It would be worth having the head gas flowed ported and polished

[the blue midget]

i started welding my shell in preparation for the swift gti engine i have, got very bored with welding, picked up my 998 with tax and test and guess what................. i havn't been near the shell/project now i have a runner to tinker with

[Stevee]

Ahh, what you doing to it?

Making the oil pump inlet and out let bigger and gasket to match

making the crank oil ways line up with the shells

opening the water pump way up to allow more flow

grub screwing few water ways shut

just silly little mods to aid the engine

[twrminisport]
