RE: woof's Porsche 930 Turbo
Discussion
Hi
I was just updating my profile and was adding some of the costs spent on my 930 - and it's a little horrifying.
OK I'd admit to insanity but over 32 months the car as cost me on average £1001.18 per month - ouch !
Of course I have no intention of selling it - it's now almost running perfectly !

It's back in the work shop at the moment but off the top of my head:
G50 gearbox (replacing the 4 speed)
Penske custom made shocks
Turbo 2 993 intercooler
Turbo 4 calipers
Ceramic bores
SC cams
ceramic turbo
powerhaus sports exhaust system
Veloce Gt 1 wheels
2 engine rebuilds (first one was cocked up and then company went under than did it)
Complete Respray
Various mods to Metering head - eventually gone back to an original.
K&N Air intake/filter
The engine compartment looks pretty normal - apart from the bigger intercooler and the K&N air intake.
The car does look great and goes bloody well. Out performs a GT3 fairly easily on performance - not on handling - recently drove the new GT3 and what a piece of kit that is. It's almost forgiving !!

power - well it was initially supposed to be 380 - but it's probably only just that with the mods - needs to go on a rolling road to be certain.
Top speed 180+ haven't actually found the limit of it - but it's gearing that will cap it. It pulls all the way to 160 without any sign of it giving up (speeds are actually speeds). Should of stuck a 6 speed box in !
0 - 60 4.2 sec'ish - got to do a timed run in it since the mods.
Of course like all turbos it's better from 30 - 100 - but with the new turbo and the exhaust system the turbo starts to spin at 1000rpm !
I'll do some runs with it once the clutch plate slipping problem has been sorted.
It's a quick one even as standard.
It's OK in the wet - just need to respect it. Braking is the real issue - which I'm still trying to sort. There's a bias problem - where basically the fronts lock up before the rears come in. Replacing the rear pistons at the moment otherwise it will be a pedal box with front to rear bias selection.

agree that I cna't see any reason for the bottom end to be touched - 3.3 turbo bottom ends are virtually bulletproof and I think the used it for 911 up until C4's ? Anyway I can recommend 9miester and RSR Engineering.
JZ are pretty professional but seem expensive but hey we'll all need to make money !
