Just a quick warning you might find the pictures below disturbing, I know everyone at the shop did. So this engine was rebuilt by us just about 4000 miles ago and some how they managed to punch a hole in the front mounted oil cooler spilling out about every ounce of oil, after we drained the tank and [...]

Continued 996TT motor build…the good stuff

Imagine you have built a very strong 996TT motor. All the things you have done in the past, knowing they work well. What happens if you make more power than you are suppose to? Imagine making 700+ AWHP on the dyno with the HP scale going up and up and all the sudden….well lets just [...]

Like anyone I was up bright and early to place the lower end of our monster 996TT motor together. Part of that process is placing the rods on the crankshaft. In most cases of factory rods engine-builders have been tightening rod bolts with a torque wrench and getting away with it. But in today’s high-performance [...]

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, [...]

As we continue to move forward and bring the 993TT to its original glory and then some the parts keep coming in. While I will probably have to chance the configuration a little bit to accommodate the center outlet of the rear bumper. The design of the new Fabspeed system is phenomenal. What is most [...]

Wanted to share a few pictures of a new project I recently started. It’s a 1981 911SC with turbo flares. The entire body will soon be getting a makeover as soon as the new sideskirts are fitted up and the ducktail gets prepped. Interior has already had some attention, as well as a new Fabspeed [...]

Porsche’s revised and face-lifted version of the GT3 was caught testing at the Nürburgring and surrounding areas last week. Looks like we’ll be treated to a slight bump in power (as much as 20 more) as well as aestheticchanges both up front and out back. Edmunds.com was able to actually shoot quite a bit of [...]
A diamond in a rough. A rebuild of a 993TT

Meet the new project of the family. This is our nameless 97 993TT. She is nameless because every name I come up with Roxanne doesn’t like. After all this is to be her car. We acquired this 993TT with 9K miles on her. Yes, 9K. Sadly enough someone thought they needed the car more and [...]
To turbo, or supercharge that is the question

Which came first the chicken or the egg? Which is better the Turbocharger or the Supercharger? They both are very similar. The mechanics of these systems is where the difference is found. They both offer their own advantages and disadvantages but it depends on you, the driver.
So what’s the difference?
The Turbo-charger uses exhaust gases to [...]

I was recently able to pick up a new project to drain my wallet and have since began the slow process of making her a driver. This is the second Porsche I’ve owned and it’s a 1985 944. It’s currently plagued with the usual electrical gremilns and needs various odds and ins, however it drives/runs [...]
