[BUILD THREAD] The 69 911s Blasphemy Build - LASTERN

[rennch]

Latest video is up! I got the rear latch panel fully welded on, and came up with (what I think is...) an innovation as far as flaring the car!

Would love some input on the best methods to preserve door gaps. Is there a gap tool? spacers? Is it 3mm on a porsche?

I'm not removing the rockers, so I should be relatively safe there.

I finally welded on the quarter panels on this 69 911 S. If I’m being honest… It was a bit terrifying. But, I made a jig to ensure the panels were in the correct location before I welded:

Here's the full video:

Here’s where I started, just for reference:





Literally no rear of the chassis. It all had to be rebuilt from scratch.






It’s funny… Years ago people would kill for a video documenting all of this, but it seems like on pelican people don’t have quite as much interest in video as they do the photos, which is a little baffling to me. That said, I’m going to keep posting and documenting it because I think it’s important.

I’m following along, keep documenting/posting. The new place in Long Beach is way way bigger than your last location. Can’t believe you found a 4 car garage in LB.

I’ve enjoyed the videos that I’ve seen so far. Great job and what a unique undertaking. I need to get caught up on the more recent ones. This will be a great hot rod when done.

Looking good, way to dive in head first.

I know dude. It's a complete unicorn of a place. I have the paint for the other side of the floor, so that's on the list pretty soon.

I think it will! going to get the front end together next, then work on the engine.

Next Blasphemy Build project is to recreate the front end and make it “stock looking” while retaining all this trick air ducting. I’m on the hunt for a hood and some hinges.

What are those front radiators you’re using?

The ducts look good, pretty similar to the design I came up with for my 912, (which is based on the Porsche 996)

Those are actually the oil coolers that came with it. I have not sourced radiators yet. Definitely open to suggestions.

For my build, 76 912, I’m following the Colin Chapman philosophy of light and simple, so I’m going with a built (cams, STi crank and rods, ITBs) normally aspirated Subaru 2.5, at around 215 hp. This motor is actually lighter than the original VW Type4 that was in there.

Anyways, lighter, smaller motor let’s me run smaller radiators. I worked out the math, and came up with about 200 square inches of radiator frontal area is about the minimum.

So what I’m doing is I’m fitting a pair of Austin Mini radiators (106 square inches per side) under the headlights, and making a complete fiberglass ducts for them. These ducts will have a 12” fan on the back side, and exit into the low pressure area directly under the car. The ducts will basically form an expansion chamber on the front, that increases the static pressure of the incoming air stream. It’s based on the Porsche 996 design.

I spent a lot of time looking up radiator sizes, and the Mini rads fit about the best, all I really have to do is modify the end tanks and re-locate the water lines.

I estimating that this will just about enough, and as a plan-b, there’s more room on the right, so could take a Chevy impala radiator, saw it in half, weld up the end tanks and that will give another 60 square inches.

I’m using a modified 964 bumper (I like the cleaner rounder lines if it), and this forms the front part of the ducts.

I need to put together a video of the design.

If I were doing a 912, I would do the exact same thing. The Subaru motor I am putting in is also a flat six, lighter than an SC motor, considerably more stock horsepower at 240, and costs $1200.As a bonus, it was Co-designed by Porsche as evidenced by the German part numbers when you tear it apart.

Are you doing iWire?

Yes, it’s amazing how similar the Subaru (EJ, EG and EZ are to the Mezger engine. Certain parts even interchange.

Sounds like you’re going with an EZ — that’s a great engine, with the right ECU just loves to rev. I’ve seen one running with Triumph motorcycle ITBs and sounded amazing.

I’ll be using a Speeduino ECU with my own harness. I’m using an extra daughter board for extra analog outputs to drive all my OEM gauges. It’s pretty simple to write Speeduino modules.

Please don’t stop updating this. I think a lot of us are interested but just don’t speak up.
On the other hand, I’m not into YouTube or videos much. I’m old school and prefer pics.
But don’t let that influence you. Most of us will use YouTube in our life when we need instruction on certain things.
I’m curious to see it when it’s finished. Keep up the good work and thanks for bringing it here for us to enjoy.
Good luck
Tony
