I am at this time considering a turbo install on my 3.0 engine, I would be using the guts of a used bae turbo kit for the 911sc. I know that I will have to do a lot of fabricating and loose some useable storage space in the trunk. I have enough support from those who have had the turbo kit installed on there cars for 20 years, and have sorted all the little problems out.
I now have to justify the need for 300hp, when my car runs great as is, but lacks a little heart pounding thrill.
I like the idea of turbocharging as it is all external, biggest hp gains without internal modifications, and I have the capabilites of fabricating the plumbling. Plus it can be done for less than a pair of carbs.
Someone twist my arm, it's a turbo or it's a new paint job for the car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

I have the complete intake for a 930, fuel distributor,manifold,intercooler, blow-off assembly, etc.

That would make a turbo conversion a cinch!!!

lemme know if interested.

I used to have a Volvo 740 turbo.

Turbos rock. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

Chappy,
I'm having a hard time understanding this question. What do you mean "justify 300hp"? I mean, I'm trying to understand it, but I can't quite comprehend NOT needing 300hp. I thought we all needed 300hp? Now 600hp might be hard to justify (to my wife), but 300hp just seems like a no brainer. Like food and water and a place to sleep.

Go for it. And anyone who says it will be too hard is a pansy.

Is the CR of your SC engine low enough to handle the boost to make 300bhp???
If the engine is stock, I doubt it...

cheers,

Make Mustangs cry.
What more justification do you need?

8.51 8lbs-9 maybe not 300 but those who have them installed on there sc engines claim they are faster than the 930's.

Turbo! Turbo!

Does that make it a TT (Twin Turbo)

I just sold a KKK K27 ... a nice upgrade for the 930.

It was used on a '85 BMW 745i

I would be shocked if you couldn't get 300hp assuming an excellent intercooler setup (which might allow for 10,11,or 12psi)

(This is a dangerous conversation for me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) There is no end to the entertainment budget..... :-))

Ok, the original '76 had a 3 liter 6, with a comp ratio of 6 or so, and a turbo that most serious folk call a door stop and no intercooler. That was good for something like 245 hp. It was very peaky, and low end torq was pretty ugly. That was exaggerated by the 4 gear tranny, where two of the gears are overdrive. When it came on boost, it was/is pretty dramatic.

In mine, we moved to a 3.2, with a comp ratio of 7.6, and the same doorstop turbo (budget... that will change someday...) and it was a big change. (no intercooler for vanity reasons -- I love the early tail) Low end torq is much better, and the 4 gear tranny is definitely live-able. No dyno results tho. This engine in a 914 would be a lot of fun...

I'm quite interested in the intercooler schemes in the photos -- turbo lag has several components (which seriously effects drivability) and one of those is the length of tubing/intercooler between the turbo and the intake. In a consistent high rpm environment (i.e. racing) it may not matter as much, but on the street, there are different issues.

So ... to make it short, I'd be really interested in hearing about how well these beasts perform on the street -- it's where most of us live (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif). And of course, my toy budget for next year has to be increased...... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mueba.gif)
