My previous 993 turbo the day it sold at Malton. Had RS Tuning modified motor of engine dyno outputs 533PS / 729NM, was very fast

That must have been ballistic, I sometimes think my 993 ( X50 430) is plenty quick enough

I can't imagine it was a cheap excercise extracting that power consistently from that engine ?

Check out the £500k electric blue 964 @JZM, just listed. Incredible!

Bloody hell. They are just like buses. There will be another one along in a minute making three.

There may be a couple of delivery miles cars in the pipeline

JZM have got access to most fabulous stock I have to say - simply breathtaking

My car started as factory X50 430 motor, I really liked the extra zing towards red line the power kit offered.

Was expensive to tune the Banana ...... the engine mods were based on the 520hp RS Tuning / Cargraphic kit plus bespoke engine dyno and other bits to help produce the outputs. A large proportion of the cost was engine overhaul and refurb pre mod work plus Secan intercooler.

You were mad selling it after creating a bespoke 993 - i could happily drive that till the end of time!

Maxted Page have gone up in my estimations since they got rid of some dumb ass mechanic to Paul Stephens

Things change and I fancied trying something different, had owned it for 8 years at time of sale.

Lovely, thanks for that, barring the new breed of hypercars, I can't think that there was much out there that would live with that in the real world.

Dont they come with one of them as standard?

Or is that lump something special??

I may be biting here but it looks like a 993 turbo lump to me

Yup its a 3.6 with a pair of blowers, factory 430 setup too!

Lovely job, have exactly the same lump in mine, should prove useful in a 964

Having just looked at Charge's beast I think he's pulling our leg

Hehe, I think yr right

Sorry chaps, I was not being clever dick, They all came with a engine as standard, and I was dammed if I knew the back end of a 993 tt lump!
That will be some car, something I thought about for a few years, but could not get my hands on a decent 993 lump at the time.
I used to follow JBL930 threads and his 993 tt engine in his 930 with pleasure, and it was another blow to the small knit community when he sadly passed away.
Seems to be a case of live fast, die young!!
Would love to follow the conversion your doing Jevvy ;-)

A tt lump is easy to spot as it has those 2 'charge' pipes splitting down the back of the engine

I knew JBL fairly well as he was local to me and watched his conversion with envy back in the day, sad times! I wonder where his car is now? My local specialist(Northway) are the same guys that did his conversion and they are planning to do the same with a tt lump they have so I've been chatting to them about various bits and bobs.

Heres the rennlist thread for where I'm up to so far:

Just spotted this in the classifieds

Air-cooled, with modern conveniences. Collectable, but usable. Lovely 'narrow bodied' N/A, manual, Coupe, and love the C4 chassis on the 993, and sweet colour.

[kitesurfer2]

Silly price. Mark at Stirling carriages has a better one and it's cheaper.

Almost everything in their advert is wrong. More importantly, who colour-matched the front PU?
