Under 911 photo gallery, the first car. It's a burgundy targa. It has 180 degree headers. With electric dumps also.

Planning on doing the same. but without the dumps. That 180 degree header sound would be more in keeping with the car.

Wow, those are some awesome looking 180 deg headers on that car. Its too late for me to go this route but maybe on a future project I may.

Moderators,

Shouldn't this be moved to the "Porsche Engine Conversion Tech Forum" forum?

Scott

No, it belongs right where it is.

Plus after 323 post, its a bit late for a switch :)

Wow--could someone describe for me ,just where these pipes go to/from?
I can figure about half of them.!

No, it does not. This post certainly belongs in the "Porsche Engine Conversion Tech Forum" forum. Here is the description of that forum:

"This forum is for owners combining the best of two worlds - Chevy motors in the cars, or VW chassis with Porsche engines."

So, the only remaining question is whether or not it should be move there. A topic discussing a 944 Turbo S in this forum would be moved to the "Porsche 944 Turbo and Turbo S " forum so this topic should be moved to the appropriate forum as well.

Check Burns Stainless, there may me other explanations.

Burns Stainless LLC - Bundles of Snakes and 180 Degree Headers

Half dump into collectors on the same side they come from. That's probably the half you can track.

The other half swap to the other side and merge into that collector. That's the half that disappears. I have a pic somewhere on a Pantera that's easier to see.

If I can find it, I'll post it.

Here's what an LS1 sounds like with 180 degree headers.

If you don't want to read it, DON'T READ IT!

The point is that there is a specific forum for threads on this subject and they should be moved to that forum. Or are you suggesting that we should be able to have discussions about 944's and Boxsters in this forum too?

Scott

There has been discussions in this forum on boxsters in this forum before. I have never seen a so called group of enthusiasts actually isolate each other soley based on their own superiority complex. Yes, their is a conversion forum, but this thread has been going for some time now, and now its getting a lot of heat suddenly. Let it ride out, so it can be put to rest...

I'd like to see those Pantera pics. Please do post them when you find them!

Some 25+ years ago when I did autobody work, one of the cstomers had a Pantera and a Mangusta. I got to work on both of these cars and I'll never forget the look, sound, and feel of sitting in the drivers seat, even if just for a short hop!

I've been looking at all sorts of engine swaps for my car. I like the ease of finding parts for the V-8's but afraid of any extra weight behind the rear wheels. Hearing the sound from the engine in that Corvette is making me rethink my project. Thanks for posting that link!

I must say this has been an interesting read to follow.(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...ifs/phatyo.gif)

Wondering where you live , has putting A/C on the car been a thought ?

(Getting older here,like my creature comforts ;))

Should be a blast to drive , although rear tire replacement may break you http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6.../Thumbs-up.gif

I've got an ole 350 4 bolt pink rod Vette motor out of a Corvette drag car that I'd thought about putting in my ole TVR , don't think I like thinking the thoughts I'm thinking........kinda like the Catholic school girl down the road that's your friends daughter.........http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...ic_uniform.jpg.


Must .......... Resist !!!! ........these THOUGHTS .......

Sirhiss!

I want to hear this solution. It meets the kiss principle. Can y ou post a YouTube video of it running? I wanna hear...

I'm at the point where I need to think about the exhaust.

Hal

im afraid mine was all about being simple. i cant imagine having all that stuff hanging in the rear of the car and being in the way...regardless of how it might sound!http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1354655451.jpg

I am still intrigued by the 180 degree crossover-----especially after hearing the sound.

In the pic--the pipes seem to be as I have coloured,but does anyone know what,the yellow pipes are?There seems to be a bypass exhaust from each side [maybe valved?]--but I marked an odd one up the leftside? what a piece of engineering!1

Yes, electronically controlled dumps that allow the mufflers to be bypassed.

Yeah. Theres a lot to be said for simplicity.

Here is a little video with some sound. It is from my very first test drive. This exhaust will only fit if u use the Camaro sump because i just changed to the Corvette/bat model and i have to remove one of the silencers.

Have a nice weekendSmileWavy

Thats a very smooth sound. Very nice. I think im going to do a pair of spintechs straight out the back. Or i may do long tube headers into a dynomax super x. Have to get the engine in and bumper mounted to see what will fit.

i am building several ls v8 based 911's. currently almost finished with a 93 964 rsa with a ls7 build. custom g5005 gearbox. great thread.

that is just teasing
 

Oh come on, you cant just say something like that and not share pictures!

Start a thread, lets hear about the details.

Whaaaaaaat? C'mon. You can't come out of nowhere and expect us to believe that without pictures. Done right, this is insanely expensive. Ask me how I know. :(

Hal

lol, yes i know all too well how expensive it has got, and how out of control the $$$ get very quickly.

At least you ( publicly ) have the self restraint to only do one at a time. I on the other hand have no sanity :(

porsche conversion
 

I've been working on my rh conversion for 7 years. I have the radiator in the from trunk but I get a lot of hot air thru the dash any suggestions

if it is a 911/930 body i would suggest that you remove the dash cap and cover all the holes in the dash and replace the cap. seal all other opening to the trunk. and most importantly fabricate a false firewall between the radiator and the gas tank sealed to the sides of the trunk[inner fenders} and with a rubber seal to the hood when closed. takes a little time but well worth the effort.. this is my 930 with a mast motorsports ls7. the radiator was built by griffin to my dimensions which were about as large as i could have it built and fit in the available area, good luckhttp://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1395764242.jpg

Hey, I may have missed this but what are you doing about the drive by wire/cable? Did you go with a gto pedal and dbw wiring?

doing the conversion now, would love to get the specs on your custom radiator - thank

In the process of ls engine on my 82sc turbo bodied. Was looking into running bixster radiators out back behind rear tires where oil tank was etc etc u
