Porsche 930 Turbo

Ok, sorry not a 1UZFE. Still, thought interesting enough to post. Found this shop as someone on CL is wanting headers built for his IS350 and will be using this shop.

Anyway, here is the frankenporsche

Wow, very nice. Wonder how they'll cool it.

haha a set of long tube headers look like they would just reach the bumper perfectly for a duel exhaust look. Turned around ofcorse.

Having owned many Porsches in the past may I just say, dear god.

Having set up a 930 Turbo with increased boost and a Motec ECU - over 550 bhp and 8000 rpm - an absolute rocketship.

I have to ask - why would you go down that path ?

 

[4000GT]

I can only guess cheap rebuilds.

I agree, they are not the cheapest toy to have !

Here's the company here in the US who were the originators of the Porsche/chebbie conversion, and are apparently doing quite well at it: http://www.renegadehybrids.com/indexx.html

Wonder if any Ferrari owners have considered repowering theirs? I'm sure some owner must have more money than sense, and wouldn't see the sin in doing something like this to his car.

Still, as we all know, you can't beat a chebbie for cheap HP.
