Pictures of 928Turbosports turbo kit installation

[Porschesolution]

I'm a purist: this is my hobby: I'm only set up to sell them & such, not to install. It's not too difficult: a bit more complex than replacing the exhaust system: I have one heck of an installation manual). Drop 90% of the exhaust, install new + prepared turbocharger, install oil supply line, install oil return lines, pump/bracket, install relay at battery box to power pump, install fuel injectors, fuel hose & FMU, breather lines, check valves, boost gauge, wide-band O2 gauge, etc. Mark.

Here's the first "no body cutting" FMIC design I have. I'll revise it for production.

Mark, what time are you available to show me your car on Sunday. I live in Arlington, and would hate to miss an opportunity to see your car when your're this close. Shoot me an email.

[Porschesolution]

Aww nuts, I just got back into town: sorry I missed you: it was a great event. I won 2nd in People's choice & 3rd in the concours (with only 30m invested in my entire interior!

here are a few pictures...intercooler is 90% done, new BOV & tuning is next.

Awesome pictures! Send more of the engine compartment. The intercooler looks sweet! How much more power will it add? What kind of wheels are those? I'm looking for some either 18 or 19" with as deep a lip as possible in black with a chrome lip. Yours are perfect! Sure hate I didn't get a chance to meet you and see your car.

[Porschesolution]

Intercooler & fuel system are good for 500rwhp pretty easily. Turbocharger is good for 700rwhp, I just need to start tuning. I'll add more pictures tonight of the car, setup.

Wheels are Fikse True 18 FM5's with anodized centers: about $1300/ea (ouch).

[dragonflyjones]

Nice wheels but ouch! How wide are they? How deep are the lips? Do you still have traction problems with all that rubber? Will 500rwhp be useable on the street? Does the power come on like an explosion? Just curios

[Porschesolution]

18x9 front with 245/35, 18x10.5 rear with 285/30. Yes still traction problems, but I don't have LSD. 500rwhp is usuable, but LSD would def. help. Power comes on smooth enough: cams don't hit until about 4k, but plenty of boost to blow the tires off until then. NO, it doesn't hit like a 30psi supra.

[dragonflyjones]

Cams don't getting really thumping until 4K? Glad to hear the power comes on smoother than a high psi supra! Those seem so un-streetable to me. How can you corner with that kind of power coming on? How deep is the lip on your rear wheels? Do you have any used wheels you might want to sell?

[Porschesolution]

I had ROH Modena's on it before, but sold to a guy in Florida who had to have them. No extra wheels at the moment, sorry.

My wheels really arn't that deep (the lip)< but the Antera wheels I photographed on a 928 had a huge lip: see pic. from www.pelicanparts.com, click on Porsche, then on the lower left column, under 928's, click on BBS & then on my OCIC picture thread.

Mark, can I fit 19 X 8.5/11's on my car? I'd like to get the 19's but I haven't seen many cars with 19's and the 11" wide rears. I don't want to have to roll the fenders. If so, I'll go with the 18's. But I still want the 11" wide rears. Any advice?

[Porschesolution]

If you don't lower your car they'll probably fit, otherwise you'll have to be very careful of your offsets to ensure no inside/outside rubbing: hard to do.

On PelicanParts BBS 928 forum I've posted a picture of the rear of Darien's grey car with 18x11's on the back, but it's not as low as mine.

[dragonflyjones]

Darien's car looks awesome too! It doesn't look like its as low as yours I agree. How much did you lower yours? Which springs did you go with? Or are they coilovers? It looks like regardless if you have 18's or 19's with 11's in the rear, you'll either be limited to how low you can drop it or you'll have to roll the fenders.
