  • 1.6L 8v - 616.16
    The 616.16 category holds the only active reference for the air-cooled flat-four of the Porsche 356 SC Coupe and Cabriolet (95bhp, 1964-1965): the WOSSNER K9015DA forged piston kit. A single listing, offered in three bore sizes, 82.5mm, 83.0mm and 83.5mm, matching three compression ratios, 9.5:1, 9.6:1 and 9.7:1, with a 22mm gudgeon pin and a 27.10mm pin height. This narrow range covers the usual rebore steps of the 616/16 engine without multiplying part numbers: a straightforward choice between standard and two oversizes, for a rebuild faithful to the original 356 engine.
  • 2.0L 12v - 901
    The 901 2.0L category brings together the three bottom-end families for Porsche's very first flat-six, fitted to the 911, 911T, 911L, 911E and 911S from 1964 to 1969. The JE PISTONS and WOSSNER forged piston kit, rated for standard and oversize bores, 22mm gudgeon pin, 33.90mm pin height; the ACL RACE 6B2452H tri-metal big end bearings, shared with the 901 2.0 and the 911 2.2; and the ARP-204-4206 reinforced head studs, also rated for the 930 3.0/3.2 Turbo and the 964. This original 1964-1969 displacement does not yet have the MAHLE replacement cylinder, which only appears from the 2.2 engine onward.
  • 2.2L 12V - 911
    The 2.2L 12V category gathers the bottom-end parts for the step up from the 901 2.0 to the 2.2 flat-six of the Porsche 911 (1970-1971), engine code 911/2.2. The JE PISTONS and WOSSNER JE-353223 forged piston kit, rated from 84mm to 89mm bore, 22mm gudgeon pin, about 34mm pin height, CR 8.5 to 10.7:1; the ACL RACE 6B2452H tri-metal big end bearings, shared with the 901 2.0 and the 911 2.2; and the ARP-204-4206 reinforced head studs, also rated for the 930 3.0/3.2 Turbo and the 964. A MAHLE 503WR1900 replacement cylinder is listed on this page: it is rated for the 2.4, 2.7 and 930 3.0 engines, not for the 2.2, so keep it for a rebore toward those displacements.
  • 2.4L 12V - 911
    The 2.4L 12V category is the best-equipped air-cooled flat-six page in the family: six active references cover all four bottom-end families. ARP-204-6001 reinforced rod bolts (kit of 12) for the 911 2.4L/2.7L and 930 3.0L/3.0L Turbo; JE PISTONS and WOSSNER forged pistons for the 911 (1972-1973), engine code 911/51/52/53/57, 84mm bore, 22mm gudgeon pin, standard CR 7.5 to 8.5:1; ACL RACE 6B2455H tri-metal big end bearings in several sizes; CARRILLO forged connecting rods, H-section, WMC material. Also listed: a MAHLE 503WR1900 replacement cylinder and ARP-204-4206 head studs. The only page in the family where a full bottom-end rebuild stays possible without leaving the category.
  • 2.5L 8v - M44
    The 2.5L 8v - M44 category gathers the parts for the Porsche 944, 924S and 944 Turbo 8v four-cylinder. The technical point specific to this page: two block natures, sleeved and Alusil, which dictate the piston choice. The 159161 forged piston kit (WOSSNER, WISECO and JE PISTONS) for the sleeved block, 100mm to 101mm bore, 24mm gudgeon pin, 40.80mm pin height, CR 7.5 to 10.8:1; and the 169845 kit (WOSSNER) for the Alusil block, same base bore sizes. Also listed: the ARP-204-4211 head studs and two COMETIC reinforced head gaskets, WC4272 at 100.5mm and WC4273 at 103mm. Against the 2.5 16v, which shares the studs and gaskets, this page stands out for its 8-valve head and the block choice.
  • 2.5L 16v - M44/40
    The 2.5L 16v - M44/40 category gathers the parts for the 16-valve head of the Porsche 944 S (1987-1988, 190bhp EU / 187bhp US), engine code M44/40. The WOSSNER forged piston kit 160032 is dedicated to this engine: 100/100.5/101mm bore, 24mm gudgeon pin, 40.6mm pin height, 11.4/11.5/11.6:1 CR. Also listed: ARP-204-4211 head studs (944 2.5 8V/16V M44). Note: the COMETIC WC4272 (100.5mm) and WC4273 (103mm) reinforced head gaskets are coded for the 944 Turbo M44.50/M44.51/M44.52, an 8-valve engine. Against the 2.5 8v (M44), this page stands out for its 16-valve head and dedicated piston.
  • 2.5L 24v - M96
    The 2.5L 24v - M96 category carries Porsche's first M96, the Boxster 986 (1996-1999, 204bhp EU / 201bhp US), engine code M96.20, and the switch from air to water cooling. A single active reference: the WOSSNER forged piston kit 169805, 85.5mm bore, 11:1 CR, 22mm gudgeon pin, 35.3mm pin height. Within this family's M96/M97 group, this page holds the smallest capacity, the only 2.5L, while the other pages carry the 2.7L.
  • 2.7L 12V - 911
    The 2.7L 12V - 911 category carries the last evolution of the atmospheric 911 flat-six before the Turbo, engines 911/81/82/92/93/83 (T/E/S) from 1974 to 1977. Five active references: JE PISTONS and WOSSNER forged pistons 159473, 90mm bore, 22mm gudgeon pin, 8.0 to 8.5:1 CR; ARP-204-6001 reinforced rod bolts (kit of 12); ACL RACE 6B2455H tri-metal big end bearings in several sizes; CARRILLO forged connecting rods, H-section, WMC material; ARP-204-4206 reinforced head studs. Against the 2.4L (1972-1973), covered in block 1, this page stands out for its 2.7L capacity, the 1974-1977 end of series, and the absence of the MAHLE replacement cylinder.
  • 2.7L 24v - M96
    The 2.7L 24v - M96 category carries the M96.22/M96.23 generation of Porsche's 2.7L, the Boxster 986 (2000-2002, 220bhp, then 2003-2004, 228bhp), before the switch to the M97. A single active reference: the WOSSNER forged piston kit K9569DA (169806), 85.5mm bore, 11:1 CR, 22mm gudgeon pin, 32.3mm compression height. The kit's own datasheet also covers the M97.20, but this page stays built on the M96, the original block of the 986 and the first-phase 987. Against the 2.7L 24v - M97, which carries the same reference, the distinction lies in the engine generation, M96 versus M97, not in different wording.
  • 2.7L 24v - M97
    The 2.7L 24v - M97 category carries the M97.20 generation of Porsche's 2.7L, the one in the Boxster 987 (2005-2008, 240 to 245bhp) and the Cayman 987 (2006-2008, 245bhp), which succeeds the M96. A single active reference: the same WOSSNER forged piston kit K9569DA (169806) as the 2.7L 24v - M96 category, 85.5mm bore, 11:1 CR, 22mm gudgeon pin, 32.3mm compression height. The kit's datasheet also covers the M96.22/M96.23, but this page stays built on the M97, the evolution fitted to the Boxster 987 and the Cayman 987. Against the 2.7L 24v - M96, the distinction lies in the engine generation and the original vehicles, never in different wording.
  • 2.9L 24v - EA839
    This page covers the EA839 2.9L biturbo block shared across the Volkswagen group, fitted to Audi, Porsche and Volkswagen models. Forged WOSSNER pistons (84.5mm bore, 10:1 compression ratio in 2.9L and 11.2:1 in 3.0L, 22mm gudgeon pin) are rated for the Audi RS4/RS5 B9, S4/S5/SQ5, A6 to A8, Q7 and Q8, the Porsche Panamera 4S/4 E-Hybrid (971), Cayenne S (E3) and Macan S, and the Volkswagen Touareg III 3.0 TSI (DCBE). Forged ZRP connecting rods in 4340 steel, with ARP 2000 or L19 bolts, complete this engine base for the Audi RS4/RS5 and Porsche Panamera/Cayenne.

FAQ

Q: How can the M96/M97 IMS bearing problem be fixed for good? A: A complete solution: uprated IMS bearing, WÖSSNER 99mm forged pistons, MANLEY H-Beam connecting rods, COMETIC MLS gaskets and ACL Race main bearings. This rebuild removes the factory weak points while allowing a reliable 380hp on the 3.6-litre M96. A worthwhile investment to preserve these engines.

Q: Can a stock 3.0-litre turbo flat-six (930) go beyond 500hp? A: Absolutely. With JE PISTONS 98mm forged pistons, MANLEY titanium connecting rods, ARP 2000 head studs and copper gaskets, the 930 block handles over 600hp in a modern turbo build. The air-cooled architecture remains remarkably robust with the right preparation and an efficient intercooler.

Q: Do 944 Turbos deserve a full engine build? A: These 2.5-litre four-cylinders respond excellently to modification. Typical build: WISECO low-compression forged pistons, ZRP connecting rods, CATCAMS 280° camshafts and a hybrid turbo deliver 400hp with massive torque. An ideal base for recreating the Turbo Cup spirit.
