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) Chappy |

QUOTE IMHO, that is a half-assed way to do it and is a sure way to blow you motor in no time flat..... That would explain how he has run his engine like that for 20 years. He is actually using an additional cold start valve piped into the intake system, with a hobbs N.O. pressure switch set to close at around 5 psig and activate the injector. I happen to personally know someone who is doing the same thinmg to his 911SC with a BAE turbo system (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) |
