what tranny do you have in this thing again?

915

Hi,
Does she runs cool?
What temperature in traffic are you running?
Many Thanks.

I have my fans come on at 190 and it stays right around 204 in traffic. when it was 100 out I was in crawling, stop/go traffic for an hour, it maxed out at 221.

however I have big plans for this Fall/Winter/Spring. O_o

how much does the car weigh?

If you don't mind sharing, what headers are you running? (make/model). I am nearing completion on my SBC conversion and need a set of headers and mufflers. Also, how do you like the hushpowers? Too loud? Drone on the highway? TIA, -John

i had those headers built by Stainless Headers. they send out a kit of various angles and the header flanges and you fit up a mock prototype set of headers. if you look back through my conversion thread ...first purchase for another ls conversion...there is more information and a couple of pics of the prototype headers. as with any headers...stainless and custom add up to expensive....at least to me! the hushpower pro series mufflers are good for me. if you go to the flowmaster site there are audio clips available of the various mufflers. i have the 3 inch in and out ones.. there is a difference in the SBC and LS1,2,3,7 headers.

The video starts out with pictures then moves to my paced laps with the Porsche Club. I got the guys video from the Porsche behind me. The audio starts out in his 911 then at 1:55 it switches over to my cars audio. My camera sucked since my GoPro is at the bottom of the Caribbean Sea. a bit into the video its splits screens to show my cars view.

This is the 1st time for me on the track. I definatly had way more power than most of the other Porsche's. The GT3rs was nice.

They don't let the beginners pass I take it? Damn!

no :rolleyes:

next May is Beginner then Advanced DE for me at the Glen.
I am lucky to live so close to a historical and world famous track that is very active with driver education.

All depends on the club too. I ran a few events with SCDA at lime rock. They would allow all run groups to pass on the front straight. At NHIS, you could pass on the oval.

Kid, you've done good.
That's some of the best engineering and assy work I've seen. Any idea of top speed?

Thanks, it is self gratifying to drive the car, feel the power and hold the lines.
My best 0-60 time is 3.6 (starting in second) seconds I have yet to do the 1/4 mile times.
I've run it up to 140 with plenty of rpms left to redline but ran out of track.

I am very happy with it to date but I need a much stronger clutch and more fuel delivery. It is leaning out at the top end.
I am planning on new rims/tires this winter, wider body, rebuild the frontend, rebuild the suspension and new clutch.

Hello rebel 911
I have also just finished a ls1 conversion on my 911 and i drowe it first time yesterday here is link: porschevideo første tur - YouTube
but when i put the throttle down hard the oil sump hits the road(not good) so i would know how thick your torsion bars is rear so i can upgrade, but the car is fast and the throttle response is sharp.
Regards from Denmark

sirhiss, I just powder coated my "skid plate" and will put photos up from my 89 911 ls1 build. The skid plate is 1/4 " think and sits 1/4" below the oil pan. Once you break your oil pan you have to re-think things. Even driving slow through pot holes can scape the oil pan. I need to also add stiff torsion bars so anyone who added some new ones let us know which ones you got!

Three words. Batwing oil pan. sits inside the framing for the engine mounts.
or get the Camaro oil pan but note that all new oil pans for the LS1 and 6 come with the LS2 filter thread.
best bet for the dollar is the Camaro pans.
I am in the process of putting in coil overs to firm things up along with a 30mm sway bar.

I have the camaro oil pan but it looks like the Batwing Oil Pan saves about 1/2 inch? Is that correct Rebel911? I am looking at the 23mm in the front and 30mm in the rear for torsion bars. Is that a good combo?

If that's the case that is the first DE I have ever heard of that doesn't! Was it not a PCA event? Sign up for CVR's DE at the Glen in October, I believe Green (beginner w/instructor) can pass anywhere the track is straight.
