It lives!!! (sort of) Twin plugged 3.6 beast...
 

Sorry I haven't posted in a while, but the constant delays with this project have left me with a bad case of the 911 blues. I usually visit the shop on Thursdays to see how little has been done. I call these days "Prozac Thursday". Today I had a nice surprise.

This is a poor video of my new '97 Varioram getting it's first spark in my SC. No exhaust yet. The motor came from Harald Ulicher's personal C4S.

I appear to have even LESS room for an exhaust solution with my IROC rear bumper than most. I don't seem to have any problems with WOT, although my setup is the same as Thom and Todd had originally.

I know it's not much of a video- shot with my digital still camera, but when that motor turned over I was so darn excited. Guess you had to be there.

Well I wasn't there but I'm still excited. Maybe because it was October when I last drove a 911. Congrats on the progress!

I don't have the bandwith, here at work, to watch that video, but it's great to see so many 3.6 conversions and their updates. I have cable at home, so I'll watch it then.

When are you likely to be able to enjoy it?

So I should NOT send Cousin Guido up to speak with your wrench?

P.S. What is Harold going to do with a 993 C4S (a truly beautiful car) that has no motor? Was it in a wreck or something?

I couldn't get the video to work but damn it sure sounds nice..

I understand...
 

Here's my 3.8 RSR waiting for me to get my act together:http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploads/PICT0249.JPG http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploads/PICT0244.JPG

Great news Moses! I guess the waiting will be worth it. Hopefully I won't be to far behind. I know how you must feel. My cars been down for 11 days and I feel the need for Prozac. Good thing there's beer.
I couldn't see the video but it sounds nice. Is that with only the 993 heat exchangers? Have you worked out the exhaust issue? We need some pics!


Curtise, a 3.8RS? Damn you da man. . . or maybe the longhood brotherhood are starting to feel the heat from the SCWDP. :D

Now is when it gets exciting!

Curt, what are you doing with that beast?

Great to hear Moses, im taking the 21 to the 29th off to finish my car, zoom zoom Fing ZOOOM, :D Kevin

Nice pictures of the Performance Products showroom Curtis.

3.8 RSR
 

Zamirz...I got tired of looking at the motor, so I bought it !!

Chuck..you know Tom G. His car has been sitting over at Performance for about 6 months. He's seriously wants to sell everything. Dave B and I ran in to him at pomona 3 weeks ago. He asked if someone would be interested in the X-tra 3.8RSR sitting on the stand so, it was too good to pass up. I just found a stock 3.8 RSR Cup injection, DME etc and I'm just waiting to "plug and play"...

Hate to ask...how much for the long block?

Didn't you know Moses has a magic calculator ??

This whole project is coming in under $4000 :D

Good to hear it's been fired up!

I meant the 3.8......

Now when I drobe MY 3.6 home....it was dark and I was worried about over heating.....BUT the NEXT day.....woo hoo.....:eek:

Moses--let me tell you from experience you will never forget the first drive with the new beast. Awesome. Congrats and welcome to the 3POINT6 CLUB!

Long block...
 

Mikez....much less than the asking price. I already have a 3.6 transplant in the RS "backdate" ( which I have already sold). This 3.8 should be a hoot to drive up-down Colorado Blvd chasing that "Lil 'ol Lady" in her 426 Hemi....;)
