Very nice. What kind of coating on the motor mount and fan-powder?

I even love the ARP packaging, the studs look very cool!

Yes powder. Unfortunately the guy didn't do it in the color that I wanted, but I couldn't really complain for the price I don't guess.

It was suppose to be about the same titanium metallic as the wastegate.

Brian

Nice work!

Thanks man!

Hoping to fire it up this weekend.

Brian

very nice. did you reuse your pistons? If not, what did you use?

New Mahle 3.3 Pistons with new fully finned cylinders (C2 style cylinders)
New rockers
New sprocket idler supports
3.2 Intake, throttle body
twin plugged heads
72lb injectors
TEC3 engine management
K27HF turbo
GHL Headers
new clutch/pressure plate
25x10x3.5 intercooler core from Bell Intercoolers
964 cams
powder coated sheetmetal

and... last but not least..... one pissed off wife....

Brian

Watch out!! (in a good way)

Watch out for that too!!!

thanks for the specs, Brian.

PO'd wife....

Mine NEVER has given me any static on what I've spent on my car. Out of courtesy, I told her that I was starting to buy parts, so she would know. She made the mistake of asking me what the total was going to be, and was not happy with my bogus low estimate-if only she knew what it was really going to cost. I'm glad I'm doing this a chunk at a time over the next few months. She pays my credit cards off every month, so now I've got to go to cash! I feel like I'm laundering money.

man...... that's a road i really don't want to go down with my current spouse
it's just not worth it:(
before i was married, every dime went into my cars
how the times have changed

ps rockin' engine..... i'd love to try a turbo one day!!!:cool:

Wow.. I take it it's not your first rebuild?

Harold

Yes, my very first! of any kind.... I've never even rebuilt a go-kart motor...

A good friend of mine that I went to college with helped me out though, and he's built numerous V8 race motors. Never a Porsche engine, but in reality it is all very similar in concept I guess.

Brian

did you rebuild it for performance only or were you having any problems with the motor?

Busted piston rings.

thanks brian. too much boost/detonation?

very nice attn. to detail and a good job on the boat tailing too!!

Yes, car was overboosting to 1.2 bar, with a stock intercooler. Not a good combination.

So I'm going EFI to for fuel and ignition control, 25x10x3.5 custom intercooler, and big injectors.

Its been a heck of a project.

Brian

NICE JOB!!
HERE'S HOW WE DO IT. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1092319762.jpg.http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1092319896.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1092319915.jpg

Thanks Henry. And thanks for the Threebond! I like that stuff.

Brian

Am I seeing thing there or did you switch intake manifolds ?? if you did why??

Yes, switching to the Carrera manifold is common when converting a 930 to EFI. It flows better, has fuel rails, sockets for the injectors already built in. You port the heads to match the intake.

Brian

Guys:

I got my car back tonight from the fab shop with the new intercooler! Thought I'd share the pics...

Same link as before, but to make it easy, here is the link again:
Engine Rebuild with Intercooler pics

And finally, IT RUNS! Last night we fired it up. AFR is high, so we've gotta make some program changes to the ECU, but it is running!

Brian

Brian,
Beautiful engine! Congratulations!!

Thanks for the congrats but we had to pull it out. Read the post titled "All 6 Cylinder Base Gaskets Leak".

Brian

Dynoed the car today:
431.8 RWHP at around 5500RPM
407.7 ft/lbs of torque at 5000RPM

at 4500RPM have 340HP and 365 ft/lbs of torque.

Dynapack dyno that bolts to the hubs.

Brian

Brian, sorry I will miss you this week. Get the idle to settle down yet?

BTW, GREAT NUMBERS! About where you expected?

Damn Henry, everytime you post a pic of a Supertec Motor it just makes me want to drop my motor and send it out to CA. Alas, I have always wanted to rebuild a 911 motor myself...however if cost/PIA ratio are close enough, perhaps a professional rebuild would be in the works...

Hal:

Pretty much what I expected man.
