That's because most of the people over there are to busy bickering or being ******bags. I wasnt in the least bit surprised when OT was shut down and the turbo forum had a zero tolerance policy.

Did a ton of cleaning today (it seems like I'm always cleaning, but then again, I'm always making a mess). So I didnt do a ton on the car. But I did strip the 944S engine down to the bare block. Horrible, I'm already working on next year's turbo engine and the temp NA engine isnt done yet. Anyway, this had EXTREME crank play as shown on the chewed up bearing, but was otherwise in good condition and was running when it was pulled. Cost me $600
 The catch was I had to pick it up in Norfolk, which is why I had it at the BlownEuroz meet.  Right before I really started working  Base for the wiring harness my father spec'd out and ordered. Should be cranking away at that, goal is to have it done before April 6th.     This is why you only use a tiny bit of permatex in a problem area on the engine. Nearly every mating surface on the head or any coolant passage was permatexed on this engine, and it was clogging the main oil pickup. Uhhg.

Stuff has been crazy lately so not much of an update. The car is almost completely rewired, my dad is just finishing that up for me next week. Engine is together minus starter (need to find it
), crank/cam pulley's (waiting on them), and Oil Pressure Relief Valve. The OPRV is the wrong type (87+) so I need to find another one due to someone sending me the wrong one (used). Car is headed out to have an 8 point put in (till next winter) in the rear of the car May 1st (tenative). Been working on it in my decreased spare time as of late. Few things on their way though (like a ton of AN fittings).     Actually some of those are already here I just havent taken any photos as of late, promise some more of those soon. Oh yeah, and I'm getting it running with stock 951 intake and stock cam for a baseline and then changing stuff from there.

Self taught *shrug* Just always hankering for a new project to tear down and put back together. Havent really worked on the car since I last posted, it's out for cage work and a few other things I cant do. Might have it back this weekend, but I've decided I wont drive it this year and I'm selling the NA engine earlier than expected and just starting on the new PCA GT3S/R turbo engine.

Yeah, that is an impressive build to do yourself. I am having enough trouble with my speed sensors alone...

  Detachable floor w/Zeus Fasteners installed, fuel cell in, rear cage work in. There is also a bunch of frame connections and bracing below the floor, but I still have plenty of access to the transaxle. We're planning out the front stuff right now. I'm hoping to debut this car at the Maxton Monster Mile next spring. I've already sold the NA motor and this thread will likely taper off till Fall when the Turbo motor sees some real progress as the rest of the car is mostly done and I'm vacationing and moving over the next two months. I will get some more detailed pics of the work and a writeup on the cage and my positive experiences with ProCar performance later this week.
