As I suspected my vintage 928 fuel pump wasn't up to the task, I swapped in a TRE performance pump, I hear good things, quieter, cheaper etc... Had to add in a hard elbow as well, the soft line was kinking into the pump.

I am getting good fuel pressure but didn't get the startup I was hoping for. Looks like i am diving into diagnostic land. On that note I figured out a handy way to mount the OBDII port. The computer is right on the other side of the firewall, so I punched a hole into the cabin and tucked it in here.

Now I can run codes from the comfort of the drivers seat.
Attached Image

I am just sorting out the computers state of mind, nothing really unexpected. There are 3 codes that relate to the missing wrx gas tank sensors, A handful about missing emissions equipment, and 4 on the TGV I pulled. None of these should keep it from running, at least poorly, I will start probing things like coils and injectors and see who isn't doing their job...

Most of my setup is stock 928, here is how it looks in its native environment, I believe 911s and 944s of the same era had something similar.

I installed the front brake pads, and splurged on new pins and retaining clips.
Attached Image

Same thing on the rear, and adjusted the calipers, parking brake and cables are installed as well. Just need to make 2 lines on the firewall and the brake system will be complete!

Great project, so happy that you are back at it, the details are excellent.
I would like to steal your idea to use the AN adapters on the bottom of the tank for Grey Matter.

Are these the fitting that you use?

Adapter

Cheers,
Scott

Since I am running such large fuel line I upgraded the tank fittings.


It is a vw tank thread to AN adapter to hose barb compilation.

This is a neat build, but with all that engine and wheel/tire, it looks to be under braked... sorry if this has been covered previously. Looks to be begging for a boxster setup.

I'm sure these will stop the car, but I'd be concerned with fade after a bit of spirited driving.

Yup, I got mine from Dan's Performance House, they also have an 8an size that I am running to my 1/2" feed line.

I tracked this with these brakes when it was 600 pounds heavier and they did pretty well. Always room for upgrades in the future though, Boxster conversion is really tempting!

Also thank you for the tip on the AN fittings

The -8 is located here, LATEST RAGE 201209-8 You just change the -6 or -8 depending on what you want or wish to use.

I sanded and painted the dash.

Now that I have a running engine I need gauges to keep an eye on it!

All nice and clean!

I will probably get a gauge upgrade once I start focusing more on the interior, these will work for now!

I broke out the flaring tool and bender, time to finish the brake system!
Attached Image

I made and fitted the missing firewall lines.
Attached Image

They connect to the rear lines at the separation point near the firewall, lot of systems bundled here, that radiator hose may need some insulation.
I filled up the system with brake fluid, bled the system, brakes are done!

Time to tackle controls! I broke out the torch and bent up a shifter.
Attached Image

I used a 1/4" rod as a template, then bent the shifter rod to match.
Attached Image

Mocked up the splined ends, the ends are in line with each other, with an engine shaped detour in the middle.
Attached Image

All welded, painted, and ready to install!
