Ah, I see now. sorry

Definitely use the short filter, The 2 needed for a 993 are OC 229 & OC 213, I believe that the 229 is the short one, I can remove the 229 on a 993 0* console w/o removing the oil lines

I'll have to get more pics up Monday. I modified the tin, modified the engine carrier, took off all the valve covers to do a valve job and to clean and repaint them and the engine tin, change the spark plugs, then I should be ready to install.

We'll got the engine mounting bracket modified and welded on gussets, installed the engine in the car and ran the main wiring to the DME. I had the secondary dist. cap center post looking pretty corroided so I decided to just replace both and rotors, went to twist the rotor to make sure it lokcked down, and sure enough it spins freely! Broken belt, so now I have the distributor completly apart and I am in the process of rebuilding it and trying to source some new bearings for it.

I'll have to get more pics at the house on the motor inthe car finally.

Motor is in, oil lines complete, fuel lines done (took factory ends to a local Hose place and they made me the line from the filter to the inlet for $12. Originally I used no spacers for the engine hanger but it put the engine at an angle that just didn't look right to me, so I made spacers and dropped it back down to be level with the side rails of the body.

Today, I filled it up with some BP Oil, and roughly hook up the 4 wires for the conversion wiring and fired her up for a few seconds. I won't have time until this Sat to wire it up correctly, then should be able to get her up and running and check out the oil thermostat and look for any leaks. Also have a single pulley conversion to do, but that will be done after all the bugs are worked out.

Good progress. What do you think to the CMS stuff? I have also got their side cover but not started the 915 work yet...

Do you happen to know what length your spacers were to get the engine level?

Cms is very nice
spacer is 1"

Thank you!

SO, after a brief sidetrack with the ring gear on the flywheel, motor came out, ring gear replaced, and put back in last Saturday, she fired up and sounded awesome without the 993 mufflers on! But having a problem with it at idle, it will run when I have the throttle depressed to hold the RPMS up just above 1K, but will not idle on it's own until warm. I currently have the ISV and AFM off to be cleaned, and I contacted Ingo to purchase a No Bad Days chip for the DME. While the motor was out for the ring gear I replaced the head temp sensor and the Crank position sensor.

So I'll give it a go with the cleaned parts this afternoon, and hopefully in the next day or two I'll have the chip to put in.

Now I need some brake upgrade ideas to handle the 3.6, I have 28mm rear hollow torsion bars already, front is all stock. I also have a set of weltmeister front and rear swaybars. This car will mainly be a street car with maybe 1 track day a year, but a few cruises thru the local LA mountians ;)

Front and Rear 993TT brake upgrade should be here by the end of the week. I installed my new front mount oil cooler and had some stock oil pipes cut and brazed to finish the plumbing, hopefully it will do the job with just the 1 cooler and the RSR front duct. I still need to find a piece of trim off a wrecked 993 windshield to finish my windshield conversion.

I ended up just installing my orig 915 trans (not the one in the above pic) because when the new side plate and 930 bearing were installed and bolted up, there was too much force need to turn the output shafts to my liking. So I will send the one pictured above to be gone thru and adjusted correctly, then install it someday....

My idle problem ended up being a missing hose clamp to 1 of the breather hoses that go into the top of the 993 oil tank. So once I got that taken care of, she fired right up and started to idle nicely.
Next it took all but 15 minutes to install the NBD chip. I still can't drive it until I get the brakes finished and install the 930 master cylinder.

I still need to make a bracket to support the 993 mufflers, although I think I liked the sound much better when it was just the cats!.

I also need to modify the 964 rear tin to bolt the 993 heater crossover tube up to since the rest exhaust heater parts are 993.

Once the mechanicals are done, then it's back to the painter to finish the bodywork, then onto the streets of So Cal!

Few more pics, 993TT brakes are on, just need 6mm spacers in the rear, and longer caliper bolts in front, then install a 930 master cylinder.

Figured I've give an update to my project.... Car has been back at the painters getting re-painted, when I got the hood and few other bits back, the color was a shade or two off so it went back to my buddy who did all the paintwork on this and my show VW convertible. As painting is his P/T filler job when his real work of surveying slows down, this has been put on the back burner, but he said it is now finished and should be delivered Sat.

Trany:
I tried to put the CMS side plate and 930 bearing on, but the preload needs to be pre-set, So I'm going to have CMS go thru it, install a 1 piece bearing retainer and a Wavetec TBD for good measure, and have them drill and tap the case to install a cooler.

915 is back from CMS and looks great! Car should be back this week, been nothing but delays from my painter, but he's a good friend so I can't complain too much, plus I still need to clean the garage out to put it in! Once I get the car back, I'll get more pics up. Also got some Focal speakers and Alpine CD player and amps to install.
