During all of 2018, I've been more or less obsessed by the idea of building a Turbo 911. It started out with with the idea of turboing my own '78 3.2SS. But I just rebuilt that, and it has ITB's and the works. A little too high CR anyway.
I also have a very nice 3.6 setting. It's been looking at me for some time now. But it's too nice to take apart for a build. I'm going another direction with that (or just sell it).
So yesterday, I stumbled upon this baby:
So this should be a fairly rare beast: A 1977 3.0 US Turbo (with tranny). Now, these were rated a very low 6.5:1CR - for US smog reasons at that time I guess?
It will likely need a rebuild. With a more modern turbo and some generel upgrades, should I change compression to say, 7.5:1 or should I just throw 1.4 bar of boost at it (wild guess)?
Any limitations or issues that I should be aware of with this engine?
Oh, and I would probably convert it to EFI. I simply love EFI
