I acquired an 86 turbo that had an engine fire. It appears to me it might have started while someone was working on it cause the paint on the hood isn’t blistered. The main damage was the engine wire harness and a few other things like the cap to the power steering reservoir is melted a little. Who ever had it in the past took the whole intake and cooling system off. So what I got was the car and boxes of parts. I’ve started going through all the boxes but there is just no way to know if everything is there. I see all these metal cooling tubes that are only for 944’s and started thinking if I’m missing something like this will I be able to find it. I started to look online for an engine wire harness but as you all probably know they aren’t made anymore. Ended up getting one off of eBay that had a few damaged plugs but between the burned harness and the eBay harness I’m able to make one except for the plug the goes to the turbo temp sensor. I have searched all over the internet and can’t find it. Which brings me to my worries. Sense I have no way of knowing if I’m missing any parts in all these boxes I’m afraid to start working on getting this car back together with all the time and money only to find out I’m missing a part that isn’t made anymore. For the people that had to totally rebuild a 944 turbo what was your experience on finding parts. This is the engine bay of my car. And the turbo temp sensor plug that is missing the terminal that I have no idea how to make this work. Just wanted to get y’all’s experiences on if there are extremely or impossible parts to get before I go any farther with this rebuild.
