Removing the warning light bulbs isn't really fixing the problem. Until i see one for myself. I will maintain my position.
Yea, the OBs are not the fastest things around. hence, put a decent FI system on them. Somebody PLEASE! Hell a good 4 bbll Rochester if you really need to go domestic. Nah, let's just put a Chevy mill in there. 
Guys....guys...Address the issues. and dispense with the BS. I AGAIN contend that for the time and money spent you could have a running 928 (whatever flavor) AND a nice Camaro with the LT whosis in there. Sorry to say you won't be selling kits to suckers around here.
Plus...you would not anger the Porsche Gods with your Sacrilege and Blasphemy.
Hey! lemme try! Did I ever tell you about my Turbo Nitrous Jaguar V-12 conversion for the 928? Man! that thing smoked! Sorry i don't have pictures or details on how it was constructed, but you could probably do it yourself in a weekend for a few hundred bucks. just pull your engine in the mean time and throw it away...i will get back to you...really. |
You don't know me nor have we had the occasion to enter into discussion before this. So I won't take offense to the inference that the facts as stated by me have been made up.
While I owned that 928 I received many favorable comments, some from staunch Porsche folk. Never did I get anything beyond a slight head shake when I showed the engine to be an LT1 Chevy.
The car was at the Frenzy in DC 2 years ago and at SITM in 2007 and 2009. And I'm told it was at SITM in 2010 with the new owner.
It was at Sharks in Hell, 2007 and 2009.
Too bad you didn't see it yourself.
There's some old pictures here
The Porsche Hybrids Board Gallery :: 928 Chevy Power
If you do a search on that board and Rennlist you'll find a lot of information including some past debate on replacing the 928 engine with a Chevy engine. Much of which I participated in.
While I concede that more conversions end up wrong than right, I know for a fact that a 928 can be done right.
If the proof you want is the actual car then I have none, only my word.
I find that regrettable. I really miss that car.
