Let Your Air-Cooled Porsche 911 Scream To 12,000 RPM With This Upgrade Kit
Swindon Powertrain, the renowned automotive engineering company, has recently introduced a new cylinder head kit specifically designed for Porsche 964 and 993-generation 911 models. This innovative kit allows engine builders to extract even more power from these iconic air-cooled engines, making them even more exhilarating to drive.
The 24-valve cylinder head kit developed by Swindon Powertrain features redesigned four-valve per-cylinder castings that unlock additional horsepower and torque. Extensive in-house testing has shown a remarkable improvement in peak flow, with a 40% increase at the inlet and a staggering 60% increase at the exhaust. Moreover, Swindon’s cylinder head reduces weight by 3.5 kg (7.7 lbs) and enables applicable engines to rev all the way up to an impressive 12,000 rpm.
Each cylinder head is meticulously crafted from A356 grade aluminum and CNC-machined to ensure the highest quality and precision. The complete M64 kit includes titanium inlet and exhaust valves with springs, caps collets, shims, finger followers, and shafts. It also features new camshafts, cam covers, and timing drive put. For those seeking further customization, Swindon offers optional upgrades such as custom pistons, new inlet porting, and bespoke cam profiles.
“Factory cylinder heads traditionally held back worthwhile gains for the traditional over square Porsche air-cooled flat-six engines,” explained Raphaël Caillé, the managing director of Swindon Powertrain. “Using the latest innovations in materials alongside CNC machining to F1 tolerance standards, our cylinder heads transform an air-cooled engine. The improved breathing and ability to rev unleash the potential to experience your 911 like never before.”
The complete M64 cylinder head kit by Swindon Powertrain is priced from £29,950 ($36,413). While this may seem like a substantial investment, the performance gains and enhanced driving experience it offers are well worth it for Porsche enthusiasts.
