930 Engine rebuild update
I'm not setting the world on fire with this rebuild since I'm 22 months into it. I tend to get distracted easily with other projects and shiny things. I've got everything fit up on the installed engine and now it's ready to come back out for intercooler, exhaust, & A/C brackets, a final check of the fasteners, and the wiring.
Engine details: 3.4 JE pistons w/7.7:1 comp Mahle fully finned cylinders Pauter rods Twin plug Heads matched to Carrera intake EBS perf valve job & springs C2 cams B&B header & custom muffler K27HF2 Motec M600 ECU M&W CDI and coils Patrick flywheel Clewett aluminum pulley Custom 25 x 10 x 4.5 intercooler Tial 46mm wastegate & blow off valve

Looks good, better warn your neighbors when you plan to turn the key!

I thought I'd start with the wildest exhaust I could stand and work from there. There's room for a bigger muffler if it's too much.

David, it looks GREAT! It is going to be well worth the wait. I just wish we had the technology to see the first run streamed online. I'd sign up for pay-per-view.
BTW, Magic how's your monster running...perhaps provide David with a bit more boost of encouragement to the finish line

That's nice!
The sound may not be too bad, a little muffler goes a long way with the 930. Exhaust looks great!

Craig, your exhaust inspired the small muffler choice
 Diabolos, I did build it myself. The only items I farmed out were the valve job and crank balancing. I even machined the twin plug holes, but I don't think I'll do that again. I think my gray hair count doubled during the machining.

Dave - Looks awesome man...I bet you can't believe that almost 2years of your life in the back of that car....well worth it....its beautiful and excellent attention to detail...your 500whp is definitely a dyno session away.
Keep us posted. Yasin

Care to predict a completion date? I can't wait to get my doors blown off by a new turbo version of Black Beauty.

I've just about given up on completion dates (good thing I'm not getting paid for this), but I'd like to have it running in time for the Houston CART race in May. There's an autox exhibition there that I've been invited to, of course I can still race the 400hp Austin Healey Sprite if my car's not ready.

Nice stuff David, love that exhaust! I got a zort tube thrown in with my turbo and I WILL run it for as long as I can bear it or as long as I can get away with it for!

I've finally finished the engine wiring harness (it only took a couple hours, I don't know why I procrastinate so much?). Here are some pics of the engine with the intercooler off:
