MY FUTURE 911 KILLER ;-) by Valkyrie Racing

[leibniz]

Well, this project won't be as intense as Bader Racing's Karmann Ghia, but it will essentially appeal to the same ideal and likely outperform my '73. Have a look at some photos guys. I am glad to be a benefactor of this forum and would love it if you all would give me some positive criticism about the project. More pictures to follow soon! The Motor is a 2.4 Ltr. 1973 "S" Hybrid with a 915 Transmission . Estimate 200HP + at Rear Wheels. Their shop has Reached and Exceeded this HP in Similar Motors. I am also adding a picture of a 906 that they have at their shop.

While the project sound interesting, the pictures hurt my eyes.

I got sick on my laptop!

[leibniz]

Sorry about the picture quality, the photos were taken on my phone.

With all the fabrication work you are doing did you ever consider going mid engine with it?

Subscribed... that is some wild project.

Updated Information on Project:
The car will have 911 coilover suspension, 935 type bushings, rear spring plates, Bilstein adjustable shocks and the sway bars will also be of 935 type. Competition drop links, front mounted remote oil coolers, remote oil tank, custom fuel cell, roll bar and 911ST replica seats. The project will be topped off with Porsche competition brakes. The rear of the car will basically be a tube frame construction and with 17" CCW mesh wheels. The Motor is a 2.4 Ltr. 1973 "S" Hybrid with PMO carbeurators and a custom Valkyrie air intake attached to a fully upgraded 915 Transmission. Estimate 200HP + at Rear Wheels. Their shop has Reached and Exceeded this HP in Similar Motors.[/B]

What's the story on that 906?

the 906 is a customer's car. I know that they're building a new rollcage so that the seatbelts are no longer coming up from the floor along with some ordinary maintenance. The car is a death trap.

You are putting a Ghia body on a 911

Keep us posted.

The Ghia is okay but the 906 is much more interesting.

You see? You never should have included those pics of the 906.

I for one am very interested in the Ghia conversion. There was a fellow on here some time ago who was putting a 2.4 into a VW type III, but he sort of disappeared. Maybe he got fed up...

Would be very interested in seeing more, but please, bring your real camera...

I Love ghia's. Its a great Idea, I like the other idea of mid engine also,
Can you imagine a 3.8L mid engine ghia. Man that would rock.
Anything you do will be great, Love the ghia body

[leibniz1]

Thank you all for the kind words and support for this unibody masterpiece. The more work that is being done on it, the more that we notice what a masterpiece the Ghia actually is! It's a really outstanding vehicle but sadly I'm never pleased...

[RSBob]

Renegade projects are great. Big motors shoehorned in an unexpected ride are way cool. - Have seen a couple of VW micro buses with 911 motors hauling-az. Enjoy seeing your progress.

[JeremyD]

Now the 906 - now that is a a 911 killer.

[al lkosmal]

Give us more ghia

[leibniz1]

Just so you all know, these pictures display a simple mockup using a bare early 911 case and a 915 case less the internals for fitment. The basic part is to get the alignment on the CVs with the new suspension. I have a cherry of an engine and transmission to put in.

Here's a few photos of that 906.




Photos are circa 2005 (I think). I think the roll bar has been since modified.

[ianc]

Not to be rude, but why not start a thread on the 906 elsewhere so we can hear about the Ghia in this one?
