Looking good so far. I really dont feel like reading through all this but what throwout bearing are you using? Whoever owns that shop ought to clean it up, what a dump man.

Not sure on the throwout bearing - but as far as how the shop looks, not all shops look like hospitals. The last 917 I saw put together in Van Nuys, CA was in a shop in similar shape.....

Being an a$$ connoisseur myself, i can truly saw with authority that that rear is truly a work of art. Good job Gab and your shop is doing great job. Let me know about that t-shirt thing.

BTW, how far are you front spindles raised? Also, are u using a tranny cooler?

19mm and no tranny cooler for now. She won't see the track until next summer so I didn't figure i'd set that up until then. I'll hit you up on email for the Tshirt thing, i totally forgot to respond my bad!

And yeah, that is one heck of a rear isn't it ? :)

Looking very nice!

One Q, what's this spin on filter for? At least it looks like one.

I couldn't tell ya to be honest, I'll have to ask the shop. Its a 964 motor so....any guesses?

964 factory engines had a secondary oil filter console where there used to be a oil cooler.

I think that filter will filter oil on the way into the engine.

Our 930's only filter oil on the way out of the engine, the filter is screwed in the top of the tank.
I don't see why the 964 would be the other way round, but I guess it's possible.

964's do it both ways. Sorry couldn't resist! :D

From what i recall, this secondary oil filter the byproduct of the race department's evolution of the flat-six. It is merely a bolt-on replacement to where the engine oil cooler goes. I think Partric Motorsports or someone carries it. If ur running a good front cooler, finned lines, etc , the engine cooler is superfluous.

Item #44/58 shows the oil filter console for the C2 964's.

Bravo guys...cool stuff! Makes sense as it was originally a C2 case.

Gab,

dude.. you are such a tease!!! :D

Looking way good!

964 Normally aspirated cars used a smilar oil filter system as the early cars, the biggest difference being that the filter was first in line out of the engine on the oil's path through the front cooler and back to the engine. Still after the engine though

965 cars used the engine mounted oil filter, filtering the oil on it's way to the bearings, etc, versus on the way back to the tank. I assume to make way for the heater fans/hoses mounted in the rear fender wells.

The 965 had no oil filter for the scavenged oil:confused:

It wasn't until the 993 that Porsche installed both an engine mounted filter for pressure feed side as well as a larger filter for the scavenged oil, mounted near the oil tank. - probably the best oiling system yet for their drysump system.

OK, enough oiling system trivia, my real concern is:

Reaper, what are they doing for a front oil cooler setup?

I hope it's adequate! W/ all that power and no engine mounted cooler, you're going to need ALOT of front cooler.:)

You can fit 2 964/965/993 front coolers stacked end to end behind the opening in your 935 bumper w/ fittings facing outwards, plug the temp sensor holes, run some -16 lines w/ metric fittings ,(or use 30mm mertic adapters w/ AN fittings) and plumb them in series(allowing the oil to go through both coolers)

Oil cooling setup is a custom made front cooler that takes up the entire front opening with 2 additional coolers behind the headlights with fans. All lines are stainless steel braided with -16 AN fittings :) Its going to be more than adequate.

Onboost: a tease huh? Hahaha I just can't wait to finally see her.
