13 year 930 project almost complete!!!!!

This is has been a lesson in patience and futility. This has been a 13 year journey into the depths of what it really takes for me to come full circle. During this time, I have moved once, rebuilt a house, built a full service shop, had a son, bought and finished several other projects. All the while, this vehicle was still on my mind. It has been a long road, but the light is at the end of the tunnel.
During this time, I had to kick myself in the ass a time or two (and helpful prodding from my brother and friends) to stay with this and see it through!! In order to pass the time, I did things like, hand polish the inside and outside of the crankcase (120 hours worth!!!):eek:

Well, the time has come!!!!!!!!!!!

It has been roughly 3 years since the engine was built. Carefully stored during that time, we are now ready to start this damn thing!!!!http://forums.pelicanparts.com/support/smileys/wat3.gif

I have the engine in the car, and everything hooked up. I am ready to start the car, but having problems with the crank and cam sensors. The ECU is not getting a signal from the sensors, so that’s where I am at…

Enjoy the pics!!!!!!

Wow, it will be a shame to put that engine in the car and hide it.

You are going to have a fantastic car when done.

Wow, that engine is sweet Brad :cool:

Thanx 4 sharing ! Excited to see this baby go !

Wow! Just wow! I think I feel the need to touch myself. LOL.

There is some serious time, love, and skill in this build...all superior to my current skill levels.

However, regarding mention of sensor signals, I would sincerely forewarn about ECU programming and management. If you are not 100% skippy with getting the software to work 100% flawlessly, find someone who does.

13 years of that tender, love, and care could go POW, instantly, with one improper mouse click.

I'm probably preaching to the choir but ask me how I know...

Holy Schmoly!!!

Love it!

Glad to see you're finally letting everyone else see it... I'm the brother who in the past 13 years flipped 7 cars (rebuilding the motor in 2 of the 911's) while he was pulled away for other life responsibilities. Happy to see him get where he wants to be and hopefully start this ***** soon!!!

911SauCy, he has been overly careful with what you are referencing and also knows from experience (one of his friends motors went down) so he isn't rushing anything... but great advice which I'm sure he would agree with. He has so many more pics of this beast... it really looks amazing.

Looking forward to hearing this thing from a far.. wishing I was closer to help!

Regards,
Bryan

Really digging the clean engine.

Yes, on the o-ring... Good eye! The picture was taken during a test fit... It was put on before final assy...

And I have heard good and bad things about JE Pistons. However, when you are dealing with custom rod lengths and C/R's, they are about the only player in the game...

Thanks for the compliments everyone!!! It definately shows my OCD...LOL

Man that thing is clean! awesome build...

ocd is an understatement!!! fantastic detail work from another ocd . call me about that cam signal loss frank
