That would be awesome if he came out with that. I think most guys that rode back during those days would buy that video whether they still ride or not.
I look forward to seeing your new video also.

Are these cars like the 944 as to wiring? The whole chassis harness is completely separate from the engine and you just wire in the tach signal and coolant temp? I really want to pick up a 944 turbo and swap a 4g63 in now after seeing this. Keep up the good work!!

Yes, the 911 engine bay harness plugs into the main harness in the engine bay. the injector harness is also separate as well as the harnes that runs the temp alt starter and oil. I am using this harness so I can use the factory gages.

Cool project, I like it.

I have a 930 and love every minute I drive it. Tires spins in the 2 first gears on boost. Great drivers cars and needs skills to exploit it.

Who cares if the porsche fans don't like it it's not like it will be an appreciating asset or anything.

It's in a different horsepower class. It's in the Turbo horsepower class. And the turbo motor has that giant intercooler poking up really high. So, I don't think it matters at all.

I'm really interested to see if you had access to race scales. I'd love to hear how much less weight this is and how much farther forward the CG would be.
