Let me introduce myself

Hey guys I'm Tuurbo and here's my ride - 1980 4 bolt setup - currently it runs great and the turbo spools up fine, but I have a nicer unit I want to install anyway:


Glad to be here. Looking forward to seeing what's happening with yours.

Very few mods: A set of rims, Snow alcohol and water injection, tweaked the bumpers, no back seat, battery in the rear, 10 PSI, 3" exhaust, MSD Digital 6 ignition, Momo steering wheel, new paint, leather slipcovers, Panasonic Rebel Gear deck, 944 spoiler.

To do list: Replace window switches, reseal hatch w 3M Urethane, fix headlight assy (currently it's welded up), polish intake manifold and L shaped intake tube, put battery back into stock location, replace turbo with a near new unit that's perfect, recondition spare head and install when I have the time and bucks, replace sunroof seals, install stock steering wheel, repl. wiper switch, repl. lighter, install wideband 02 sensor and gauge when I have the bucks.

I second this motion!

Thanks guys - yeah I'll open up the hood and take some pics next time my wife and I get out with the digital camera and the intake has been polished up as I said in my intro post. No use wasting a digital pic on a lack luster intake. I have the steel wool, dremel, drill, bits and pieces, just have to get off my ass and do it.

Until then, you should know that it's nothing special really. As I said, it's a stock intake and head, stock 7.5:1 compression motor and stock fuel (Bosch CIS) and electrical system - it looks like every other 931, except mine has a couple of extra lines for the water-alcohol injection, one pre turbo in the airbox, one after the turbo.

Plus, I've still got a #$%&load of dust in the engine bay from the sanding...

[carlege]

I like the wheels on the car... it makes it look more current

Nice 931. Hey Tuurbo, what rims are those?

[JAXTURBO]

Hi tuurbo! Shagster says WELCOME!!

[cvriv.charles]

Thats a beautiful car. Would love one of those.

Hey Rasta - missing your rapier wit on 'that other board'...

Shag does look very nice, BTW.

I`m not sure about the rims Slam, aftermarket of some flavor, they are kinda nice. I have spider webs I usually use.

These were posted on the òther board` - nice! The web page doesn't show a price, which is really smart product promotion.

I`d like a set o those! Fuchs-ish even! In a 15" flavor it'd be a really nice wheel for that car. The 16" is a bit of a rough ride. Good for guys like Rasta who are track inclined. For me they're really only a lot of fun when you're pushing the car on fresh blacktop and you want it to run like it's on rails. Then the 16" really help. For everyday use the 15" are a bit cushioning around potholes and other street hazards.

Hi, Revolution wheels look great. I had 12" ones on my Mini-Marcos ; they were a pain when removing and replacing a wheel; the deep sunk bolts are difficult to line up with the holes in the hubs.
