The Beautiful Puzzle: 1987 3.3L 930 EFI Build

It looks fantastic.

What paint did you use for the Oil tank?

[350HP930]

Do a test of the thermo switch and/or fan motor when you can. If memory serves me correctly I think that towards the end of her previous days I never heard the fan kick in when she started getting hot like it used to.

Thanks, I used an engine enamel with ceramic in it

Thanks for the heads-up Tony, I'll order a new switch before I put it back in

Anybody recognize this R&P that came outta the 930 4speed gearbox? I figure it's original but is marked high output. Looks like the set is in great shape so I'll be sending it on it's way for somebody out there that needs it

Any idea what $$$ I should ask for the set?

Thanks!

[CaptainCalf]

Here's some more parts I wont be using, so if you see anything you want let me know and I'll hook you up before I list them in the classified section:

930 clutch set


Wastegate & pipe spring set at 7psi to be used with Electronic Boost Controller


HKS Electronic Boost Controller


Euro fuel head and 930 intake manifold and associated parts


CIS fuel injectors

Is that a 9/37 ring and pinion? I believe that is a desireable ratio for being shorter than 8/31 but stronger.

I wish! I double checked and it's a 9:38 stock ratio

[Flieger]

9/38 is even better I would think. I thought 9/37 was the ratio that was made aftermarket to be shorter but I must be wrong if 9/38 is stock. Or maybe 9/37 is for 915s?

[CaptainCalf]

got the headers fitted, alternator & fan on

[JeremyD]

excellent progress!

[CaptainCalf]

I decided to torque up the headers tonight and found that 1 of the 12 studs pulled instead of torquing, so I pulled the feft bank of headers back off and will drill, tap and time-cert the bad hole. It's a setback, but I'd rather find it now then later as an exhaust leak

[350HP930]

I guess I should have warned you that I wrote that I next to that hole to remind myself it needed an insert. Keep an eye out for a similar marks next to one of the engine trim bolt holes as well.

Dude, you gotta tell me these things otherwise I may not be anal enough to find them

[CaptainCalf]

I got the 930 int gaskets modded for the Carrera intake, new fatter brass bushings in the spacers and more!

[350HP930]

I'm impressed as always Rick.

Thanks, I appreciate everything

[Ken911]

so the spacers need bushings? I didnt know that , one more thing i need to get done lol.

[350HP930]

You could get by without them, but the bolt holes are large enough to allow for a little mis-alignment so it never hurts to go for the extra degree of accuracy.

+1, it's one of those little things that taken together all add up to a big difference in the end
