My New 1979 930 - yes, another introduction...

[kenikh]

The drama never ends. My injector blocks went into the parts washer...and didn't make it out. Apparently they fell apart under the strain. I can only guess that the years of heat cycles destabilized them enough that the solvent in the washer, coupled with heat and agitation, was too much. Ordered another set from Pelican, as I'm determined to complete my little injector block experiment.

Kenikh,
I have a used set of those somewhere at the bottom of the stash pile. If you need them to experiment with...they are yours.

Al

Perchance I do, good sir. See you Tuesday?

[Robbbyg]

When finished can you post KW/HP power of your engine if possible
Im doing some numbers on before and after 930 engine work

Can you tell which is your engine when stock (going by your VIN) 180KW or 195KW ?
This stuff is good to note and gives good figures for different type of builds and outcomes

[kenikh]

Will do for sure

More "make it right" bits coming in via fellow Pelicans...

[jsveb]

Looks good Kenik. I have one of those sitting on the shelf as well, just waiting for my car to get back.

[kenikh]

Yes, I'm a sick f#©k...just received these little items:




Thermal Reactors will NOT be going on the car...they will persist as wall art, attached to the stock heat exchangers and 3LDZ turbo.

The decals, on the other hand WILL go on the car. I am a sucker for funky factory graphics.

[dwarchi]

Love the ol'skool turbo graphic.....that'll look cool over the sienna / sahara
Cheers
DW

[kenikh]

The 16 x 7/9 930 Fuchs are on. Will paint them later...

Bridgestone RE-11 tires.

[confused]

where did you get the decals?

Rereading this thread, LuftWaffle called it! You must be the Hand Of God. How'd you know???

LOL.

[16Volt]

So when this thing is running again are you just going to drive it directly to the paint shop or enjoy it for a bit?

[kenikh]

Enjoy it. Plus I'll be doing all the prime and prep myself.

[jpnovak]

decals yes! exhaust logs. NO!

[kenikh]

Exhaust logs are just wall art.

[LuftWaffle]

SWAG

I really wanted to make up some elaborate story about the VIN sequence and corresponding production date falling in line with pigment delivery specific to that color at the Lesonal plant...

It's a beautiful color - congrats...

Heads, Rods and Cylinders arrived over the weekend. Now we just need to mic the rods, choose the right rod bearings and the build can begin. Getting close.

Once it starts, I'll make sure to load lots of pics.
