Hi Chris, just waiting on the fabwork to be finished on the intercooler and tank and then will bring back home to put all the fuel and oil lines, pumps as well as wiring, instruments, etc.... into car... feels like winters not far off here anway..
Will defintely check out your progress over on funf...... L8TR................................ http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1315925144.jpg |
I wish you started with an uglier car. I'd be sad if this turned out like crap, but it didn't! Niiiiiiccccceeeee!!!!!!!

Starting to make a little progress again as winter is approaching. The water intercooler and the water tank are in. Water pump still needs to be mounted up.
http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1320202685.jpg Alot of fabwork to still be done as well as welding on the lines from the intake to the intercooler and out to the turbo and so forth...... maybe this kit will do it ....... http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1320202895.jpg With all the fluid lines yet to run decided to start with the fuel stuff first. Pump is mounted , going to work my way laying out the lines from the rear. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1320203506.jpg Need to drill for some bulkhead fittings. Running the fuel lines just to the side of the center tunnel passengers side. Will post some more when I get finished with fuel lines and get the oil lines layed out. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1320203800.jpg |
awesome build. These builds keep me motivated on my race car project
Michael |
I totally forgot you cut out the rear bulkhead area. I'm thinking about the same for mine. I'm just a few steps (read a lot of money behind lol) behind you. Trying to see the pros and cons of it.
Awesome as always brother! Chris |
Hey Chris, I would only cut out the rear seat area if you are building a dedicated track car. The pro's are easier access to starter, trannie, engine, etc. Not much weight savings if any, my aluminum cover is not much less in weight than what I cut out. And unless you are putting in a cage it probably lessens a small amount the structural integrity in that area not to mention more noise. So if its really more of a street car I'd leave that area alone. L8TR, Tad
|
Tad, thanks man... Im thinking about it still. I like the idea of the easy access to the tranny, but the down side would definitely be if something blew apart. GrantG has a nice setup, here is a photo I found of it.. Im waiting on him to email me some more photos and hear what he has to say about it...

This is one of those feel good days where you think your getting somewhere on that never ending project. With a five year anniversary on this one coming up in february I'm pushing harder to have this rig runnin by spring. Did some fuel line and oil line routing and so forth. -8an for fuel and -20 supply and -16 return for oil lines, made holes for bulkhead fittings, reworked the original fuel return and feed to the accumalator with steel -8an fittings to hook up fuel lines.

Welded up a frame for the center oil cooler and made a cover screen semi protective cover for the center oil cooler mainly because it so close to the ground .

Good lord Tad. You are killing it over there. Man, progress feels great doesn't it?

I have a quick question I hope you don't mind answering?
I am about to stick some bolt on arches to my Boxster racing car and not sure what type of fasteners to use - do you have some details on the ones you have used for your arches? Been following with interest from the start BTW, great attention to detail... |
Hi Paul, I used small 3mm hex head bolts, couple washers and locknut. Most people use rivets which is probably better for racing in that you can change out a flare piece much quicker. I was having some cracking issues with my flares so went with the bolts so I could vary the tightness and relieve stressed areas around the flares. Hope this helps some, good luck and be patient working with that fiberglass, it can become a mess real quick. Cheers, Tad
|
Cool, thank you... I will probably do the same as you. I want to be able to easily remove them when I need better access.

two thumbs up!!!!

Figured out how I wanted to mount the two outside oil coolers. Mounting to three points on side of frame. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1323395205.jpg
Everything pretty tight to line up with the outter air inlets and still be able to connect fittings and hoses. With three oil coolers in series its going to be a challenge to get everything to fit. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1323395818.jpg Oil coolers are covered to protect the fins with all the in and out for fitment. One side welded up and painted and ready for hoses. Will get the other side done and get going on the lines up front next... http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1323396249.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1323396408.jpg Will line up with valence well .... bottom bar will be good to help support the air duct for the brake cooling http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1323396544.jpg |
This build and Zuluracerx's are the bar by which all others should be measured by. Well, I could list a couple more (TRE involved), but don't want to come out looking too envious ;):D:rolleyes:
Once I am done with this new condo, I am hoping to fulfill a long time dream (fat bodied old school 911). Just in time for my 40th birthday too http://forums.pelicanparts.com/support/smileys/ura.gif |

Tad, amazing as always man. I just got my doors in the other day and now on to the front half of the cage (don't want to cut up $$$ doors) and then on to the air jack system.
I really want to see you car in person man. I vote you finish it, then drive it to next years 12h of Sebring. This way you can stop at my house and I can see it. :) ;) Take care brother Chris |

Project hit 5th year
February marked my fifth year on this project and the list is getting alot shorter finally. Got all the water lines run for the intercooler and radiator, tank and pump. Need to run it and test for leaks.
http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1331250547.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1331250614.jpg Need to make raised cover with duct lines going to the naca ducts in the quarter windows. Main Item Remaining: Transmission: Hookup cv joints, clutch cable,omega spring, shifter linkage. Engine: Fabricating the piping from engine to intercooler and turbo Wiring: Using the ISIS intelligent multiplex system, solid state, less weight and wire, can do away with multiple relays and its very adaptable. Install time is shorter and much cleaner after the fact. Over the last couple of years it was always the goal to get the car running by summer. Obviously I did not accomplish that but it kept me plugging along and this summer definitely seems like it might really be possible. |
Decided to weld up a different bracket for my center oilcooler. Did no have good access to the oil lines for repairs. Made the bracket where it can fold out, good access for the lines etc..

Cool stuff. How do you program the ISIS system?
|
Awsome work Tad! keep it coming
|
To really set up the system the way you want and be able to make changes to the standard system you buy the incode programmer $180. Company website ISIS Intelligent Multiplex System - Automotive Wiring Harnesses, Car Wire Harness, Engine Wiring Harness, Auto Wiring Harness, Truck Wiring Harness, Car Wiring Kits.

Thank you for the link. A bit confused, this would not replace the main harness from the DME to the engine as well and the main engine harness will it?
|
Tad, the car looks great. You're making great progress on getting the cells mounted. This will be a very clean install when it is finished.
We'll get you some suggestions today on wiring your disconnect switch. Jay |
Nice fab work and great looking car.
Do you have any details on the red circled area in the pic below? Did you fab that up yourself? How does the ducting work and where is the drain for water? Looking for some type of venting.draining system for my car. Thanks - http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1334675342.jpg |

Vent encloser is one from smart racing and yes I think they are no longer in business. Krogger you were asking about the DME and the ISIS system. The ISIS system would not replace your DME.

Hi Benno, very nice fabrication. So are you building a 934 or 935 replica or restoring a wrecked 934 or 935 to a replacement tub? Interested to so more of your project. TRE motorsport was making the fiberglass 935 fuel cell cover for the two front fuel cells if you need a source for that part.

Hey Tad,
I wanted to show you the amount of wire that we removed from Jim's 1999 996. We had this in a fish tank at our booth at SEMA last year. When he installed ISIS in his Porsche, he netted more than 30 pounds of weight reduction in the car. http://www.isispower.com/imagebase/s...1+06%3A13%3A23 I'll get more pictures of the car from him when he gets it back. Jay |
Jay, here is the wiring that came out of my car. Have not weighed it but I would not be surprised if its similar weight savings as Jim's 996
