Anyone interested in Porsche 962s might find my latest thread interesting: http://forums.pelicanparts.com/porsche-911-technical-forum/938497-history-porsche-962-112-a.html

Interesting thread
 

...and a great project.

I've been thinking about twin-turboing 928 S4 engines for a couple of years, and JOhn Kuhn has been building a couple of them. I do have some thoughts on that, many of which I've put down on this thread: Twin Turbo 928 fixed and back out there terrorizing the streets! - Page 100 - Rennlist Discussion Forums

If you're not married to replicating the factory effort of 928 twin turbo in the earlier pictures, there are many possibilities. First question that I would have is what fuel are you planning to use?

What transmission is used on that Fabcar build?
Can't read it out of the picture

Wow!!!

An earlier post mentions that the Fabcar 962 build is using an Albins 6 speed sequential gearbox.

Anyone looking for a direct tie to Fabcar is Redstone Performance. They recently moved back to Indy, on Georgetown Rd. Great guys with incredible pedigree. They helped me get my GT2 back on the road and are a jewel of the Midwest. Garnett and Matt are impressive with quite the resume.

They are currently building a 935 from scratch. Awesome.

Hello. Search Porsche 962N-001 at YouTube. More videos will be added through this winter

Your build is just awesome Trond!
Did I hear that this will be a streetcar with plates on norwegian roads?
Keep up the good work sir ;)

What engine are you using?

That is a later model 928 32V GTS motor.
If he wants to turbo it it should be able to hold together at some pretty amazing power levels.

The engine will be with twin turbo`s. Like the one 962 Porsche built only one of.
Will post pictures and videos later this winter. Sorry for not updating daily.
Engine has multi layer steel head gaskets, and dry sump...

Billiracing: it will be a race car, not street car

Very nice build Sir.... I went another way on my first build with a Tube frame mated to a 997 GT3 motor, but will be starting a more correct Ally Tub version some time next year... be great to talk to you at some point to see if there's any do's and don'ts you found during your build....


Keep up the youtube Updates

Porsche at one time during testing did put the V8 in one of the 956s or 962s for testing. I have seen a few photos of that configuration in some of the books, but not easily found on the Internet. I'll post it if I come across it again.

I just have to say, you guys are doing some amazing stuff. Does anyone have any good sources for educating oneself on monocoque design? I would love to see plans on a 962 just for the sheer reading. I guess that's just the Welding Teacher in me talking though.

Thank you all for sharing your builds..

BTW, you earned my first post here.

I'm guessing this forum isn't read as much as I previously thought.

That is not the issue. The issue is that only a very small group of people can answer your inquiry. Maybe they have not read your post or maybe they don't want to respond. Either way, a snide comment probably isn't going to get you an answer faster....

I wasn't trying to post a snide comment. If I were I would have replied to my own comment welcoming me to the board after a week. Have a nice day...

Old Tin Rods where do you teach welding at? I am a welding instructor as well have been for 20 years and previously to covid traveled a cross the country training other welding instructors.

Sorry back on topic this is very cool and watching with anticipation

I'm an Indiana High School Vocational Teacher in a dual credit environment. It's pretty neat thinking students can graduate high school with up to 16 college credits. The students and I are currently working on building a duplicate to my vintage dragster in chromoly, but would love to build a monocoque design with a class in the future.

Nice to meet you bud. Sorry to interrupt all.

Old Tin Rods: Rather than being a keyboard commando, you're actually doing something constructive to preserve dwindling skill sets and working to enhancing the technical abilities of the next generation. I thought your response to "winders" was temperate and not reactive. I, as a retired architect, say good on you! If I had the drawings for a monocoque, you can bet I'd send them to you. There are several racing teams located in Indiana that deal with CF monocoques that might be willing to assist. Just a thought.

Old Tin Rods - I'm diggin' the dragster!

Fastest times are as follows:

11.19 in a 1/4
7.25 in an 1/8

If you feel like a good cry here is the history of that dragster..
