whiteout Report post Posted March 15, 2013 Vids and more pics! Driving impressions! How was it reacting to the ecu? Drive was very slow & short (5 miles). I want to do all check everything before pushing it. I don't have power steering hooked up and the steering is very light without it. So I don't think I'm going to hook up an electric pump anymore. It is LOUD right now. I need to build an exhaust ASAP. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LuisGT3 Report post Posted March 20, 2013 So how long until you are doing some WOT pulls? (I know the weather needs to warm up a bit) but what's left to do until it's a reliable dd? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiteout Report post Posted March 20, 2013 So how long until you are doing some WOT pulls? (I know the weather needs to warm up a bit) but what's left to do until it's a reliable dd? I need to get the tach, water temp, and oil pressure gauges hooked up before doing any WOT. The coolant fittings from renegade leak, so I have to tear apart the system and seal the fittings. Build an exhaust. Then it should be good to go. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a die hard Porsche guy, I should'nt like this project, but I'd be lying if I said I haven't been exited for updates. Can't wait till it's finished. Porsche's 3.4L motor in early 996's is junk and it looks like you have found a solution. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiteout Report post Posted March 20, 2013 Yeah, this is much better than the 3.4. With only an alternator on the crank it is very light revving, which is awesome. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

whiteout Report post Posted April 2, 2013 Exhaust teaser: I changed the way the hoses are routed during the swap (to the correct flow) and they now sit low. It really cleans up the engine bay. before: after: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

whiteout Report post Posted April 8, 2013 update Coolant system flowing properly Car drives and sounds good I washed the car The bad part: After a few minutes of driving, it has fuel cut and basically kills the car's drivability. I restart the car and it's good for ~ a minute, then fuel cut. I am replacing the LS1 water temp sensor as it is a legitimate possibility of causing this issue. I might pick up a fuel pressure gauge, but the awesome part is I swapped the fuel rails to fit the 911, better, so the schrader valve on the fuel rais is now facing the front of the 911. bah! Anyways, onto some pics taken from a toaster: before the wash, first time driving without a front plate and the bumper cover is pretty beat up from years of Chicago street parking, but the bumper plugs look good.

rmtn Report post Posted April 8, 2013 could be heat soak too? looks like the air intake could take a lot of heat from engine bay, or am I wrong? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
