I have the same problem and avoid Craig like the plague...I don't want to build another car! I should have ignored you this morning.

But a narrow a body turbo is really cool! I may have made a serious mistake.

What do ya call a narrow body, 600hp Porsche? "Yellow bird" done in your choice of colors

[Craig 930 RS]

Uh, Dane your car is hellaciously fast. I have little doubt that it is nearly as quick as my car

[rdane]

Thanks Craig. But it needs a few days on the track with the "regulars" before I believe that. For a car I use to be a bit uncomfortable in ...funny now I'm thinking it could use another couple hundred HP.

so do the holes cut in the bumper seem to help with cooling?

[Craig 930 RS]

The current HP is never enough. The 930 now feels as if it is lacking in power above about 90 mph.

'Tis like crack, my friend.....

The PO performed the hole-ectomy and I have no doubt that it is a necessity. There is an astounding amount of heat off the turbo, just unbelievable -

How much quicker is it than with the old motor? And, is that a 930 engine you put in there?

I think Nick is on the road back to Arizona but I got a feel for old and new from our drives and his comments so I'll butt in. No comparison It is a early '80s 930 with SC cam and a compression bump just rebuilt. And it is very fast in a 2400# car.

He has to be in the mid 300s on torque and some where just over 300 on HP if my LWT 3.6 is any comparison. Nick said it felt liek a full 100/100 over his 3L turbo kit.

Crack? About the same price as P-car HP I hear

Thanks Dane:
I know he didn't have the intercooler on the old setup, but I wasn't sure if he was going ahead with the 930 transplant. Good thing he studies aero, if that thing can fly like that!

I don't know why more people don't put 930 engines in SCs and Carreras. Makes 'em wicked fast. Mine has twice the HP as the modded SC engine I took out and feels three times as fast. It is sooooooooo much fun.

Im home.. i will post more when i regain the feeling in my ass..

so do the holes cut in the bumper seem to help with cooling?

I don't know.. it was bubbling the paint so i cut the holes and now the bumper looks fine(aside from the holes)?

Pat.... the jump from NA to BAE was great.. it took the SC to a power level that is equal to modern sports cars..10lbs per HP it was alot of fun on the track and plunty of power till 4 days ago..

the 3.3L takes it all the way to super-car territory... with the narrow body is just keeps pulling and pulling no matter how high the speedo climbs.. but it also makes you wish you could fit more rubber... I will have to get back to you when i get some decent 245's back there..

you can roll onto the gas in 5th at 65.... and have just enough time to wave goodbye to the car next to you...





BTW pat... you get that second box yet?

[patkeefe]

Nick:
Yes, I got the second box, but haven't had time to open it.
How high did you get the tach in the desert?
