For years ImagineAuto with my lead have been tuning turbos of many generations. Most of our major tuning in house has been on the various EFI systems installed from electromotive, Autronic to Motec. In years past we grouped with GIAC to help with program our TTs, Boxsters, 996s and so on. The biggest hurdle for [...]

89 930 EFI Conversion returns

I hate to see any car we have built get into the hands of people that do not fully understand or appreciate the workings of a converted CIS to EFI turbo Porsche. This car was based on a 89 930, we quickly stripped the motor out of it and converted it to a 3.4 twinplug, [...]

When I started this company in the 90s it was started as a hobby-a passion and to be honest nothing more than an outlet to give myself a justification to spend money and build fast Porsches. (Not to mention an excuse as to why the money was flying out the door on these cars.) Phrases like, “this is [...]

In the past several months one of our major projects here at Imagine has been our latest EFI conversion car. Though this car may not stand out in a crowd of sleek, brightly colored modern exotics this 930 Turbo is a special car, and a classic in every sense of the word. This car has [...]

Often times people don’t understand why we would want to make our fast cars faster. Often my response is if I had to explain you just wouldn’t understand. Then there are the cars that get faster and better and faster yet. This is a tale of a 996TT that came to us as stock as [...]

It’s not every day one gets to see a 965. You would be even more lucky if you saw one as rare as this.
Owned by a long time customer of Steven’s, this car has gone through countless modifications, three engine builds, and finally converted to EFI. All of which has led the car to now [...]

If you are like most, coming down off of the year end Holiday high and into the first month of the new year can be almost depressing. Back to your normal work routine, workout schedule, parties and gatherings seems to be non-existent – what is there to look forward to? ImagineAuto is here to [...]
A few updates

Back in October I posted about our latest EFI conversion project, a 1986 930 Turbo. Since then much progress has been made. After clearing up a few issues with timing, wiring, and other delays the car is now completely wired and running. This car being a twelve-plug waste-spark ignition system with six dual-ended coils led to [...]

So I blogged the other day that it was cold and snowy here in KC and that I was longing for sun and warmth. I should have kept my mouth shut because since last week we, as well as much of the Midwest, have endured a very damaging ice storm. Everyone at IA was lucky not [...]
Twin plugging, is that the outlet in my wall? Not quite…

The air-cooled 911 combustion chamber is far from ideal, its geometry compromised by both air cooling and an off center plug location so combustion remains incomplete at most engine speeds. This means that some portion of the mixture in the cylinder is not burned, resulting in roughness, wasted fuel and lost horsepower. Porsche typically ran [...]
