Porsche 914-6 Conversion 2.4t With Cis on 2040-cars
Youngsville, North Carolina, United States
|
After a torrid 12 year love affair, it's time to let the old gal go. Got my eyes on a younger, sleeker model! Purchased in 2002 as a bone stock 2.0 car, and spent the subsequent years (and a good chunk of my kids' potential college money) upgrading to where it is at today. The suspension has been gone through and all new, high end parts replaced all the originals...Tarrett Engineering, CFR, Koni to name a few. The engine conversion was done to a high standard, utilizing a bulkhead engine mount, real 914-6 cooling tin, Vellios oil tank, professionally made wiring harness that plugs into the original harness, and original bell crank throttle assembly. The engine is a bone stock 2.4T with CIS injection that runs strong(ask the turboed Miatas at our local AXs!). The external oil cooler keeps oil temps under control on hot days on track. The interior is in great shape, the original dash has absolutely no cracks or blemishes. It has been used as primarily an autocross car, but has spent a fair amount of time on track (VIR, CMP, Rockingham) and has always been a solid performer. It won its class last month in our local autocross! Its also a fun weekend driver, always turns a lot of heads and gets a lot of comments at the gas station! The car looks great and handles amazingly - one ride and you will understand the meaning of the saying "it handles like a go-kart". Engine: 1973.5 2.4T with CIS. - Pressure fed tensioners -1-1/2” headers – Triad Muffler – Magnacore Wires -Bulkhead Motor Mount – Aftermarket Vellios style oil tank, stock 914-6 filter console and filler neck/dipstick. Mocal external oil cooler
Transmission: Rebuilt by Richard at Blue Sky Motorsports. Flipped 3rd and 5th gears and replaced 4th gear with an S gear to yield A-F-KA-S-Z ratios. Great autocross gearing!!
Brakes: Front- Custom billet hubs that allow the use of a vented rotor from an SC. Rebuilt M Calipers, cooling ducts built into the backing plates. Rear – stock rebuilt calipers(with functioning e-brake), stock rotors, 19 mm master cylinder/ Master Cylinder brace (to firm up pedal feel) Suspension: Rear – factory sway bar, Delrin bushings, Koni SA shocks(yellows) with adjustable coil overs and 200 LB springs. Front- Polyurethane bushings, de-cambered ball joints (allows 0.5 more degrees camber), Tarrett Engineering sway bar, Tarrett engineering Monoball strut mounts (camber plates), 21 MM hollow torsion bars, turbo tie rods, Koni SA shocks(yellows) Interior: Rebuilt pedal cluster, Aluminum pedal covers, dead pedal, fuse box replaced with modern blade type fusebox, “Engman” chassis stiffening kit installed, Cobra racing seats (both are currently fixed in position, driver’s seat mount may require modification for you to fit) 1-1/2” 0.120 wall rollbar., new carpet on floor, dynamat and felt on rear firewall, Momo steering wheel and custom billet spacer, Momo aluminum shift knob, 5 pt. harnesses (out of date for track use), 911 tachometer (for -6) Thanks for looking, there are more pictures available - please request via email.

Will Roegge makes 4K art of Jeff Zwart's 911 build and run up Pikes Peak
Sun, 17 Aug 2014Will Roegge has turned his camera on Jeff Zwart and provided another gem, this time documenting Zwart's run up Pikes Peak and BBI Autosport. Bertim Besha dropped out of high school, then worked his way up to founding his own shop, BBI, that gathers a crew of tuners who are just as fastidious about their work as the customers are about their cars.
They prepped the 991-series Porsche 911 GT3 Cup Turbo, the product of combining a 911 GT2 that was the most powerful car Zwart drove up the mountain with a GT3 Cup that Zwart thought had the best handling. Two TiAL turbos and a lot of fettling make for a 3.8-liter flat-six with 700 horsepower, 700 pound-feet of torque and a 7,800-rpm redline. Zwart drove it to a heartbreaking second place this year, finishing less than 1.2 seconds behind the Time Attack 1 class winner when his car suffered its first mechanical issue of the week.
The first video below covers Besha, BBI and the build, the second is Zwart's run. As if the visuals weren't enough, sit back and enjoy the shrieking of the "Hill Climb Special," which is what the constellation Sirius would sound like if it could bark.
2015 Porsche Boxster GTS [w/video]
Thu, 22 May 2014You know the sound: the startling pop-brraaap-pop-pop shotgun fire of unspent flammables coursing through exhaust pipes that usually signals a raw, naughty powerplant beneath the hood.
But when you're nestled in the Porsche Boxster GTS' snug seats, it's not a crackling small block V8 or a high-strung Italian flat crank making the devilish racket, but rather the new king of the Boxster/Cayman lineup, a 3.4-liter flat-six that produces 330 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque.
Within the emotional vacuum of a spec sheet, the Boxster GTS' pumped-up grunt seems pretty mild, with a gain of only 15 hp and 7 lb-ft, respectively. But the reworked acoustical experience goes a long way towards suggesting the GTS has a trace of racing blood in its veins, and might even be missing its catalytic converters. In addition to the sonorous, centrally positioned tailpipes, the cabin also fills with lovely mechanical strains thanks to the "Sound Symposer" acoustical amplifier that's trickled down into the Boxster/Cayman lineup from the 911 for the first time. Boxster S, we hardly knew ya.
Porsche 918 Spyder burns to ground in gas station conflagration
Mon, 29 Sep 2014There's one fewer Porsche 918 Spyder zipping along the roads of Toronto, Canada, today. A fire at a gas station over the weekend claimed one of the hybrid supercars in a massive blaze, and a portion of the inferno was caught on video.
According to our partners to the North at Autoblog Canada, the cause of the fire hasn't been officially confirmed yet, but witnesses reportedly claimed gasoline somehow came into contact with the hot exhaust outlets that exit out of the top of the supercar's engine bay. This was just one of two 918s believed to be in the Toronto area.
Other than a possible broken heart from the owner, the fire reportedly caused no injuries, and only the Porsche and gas pump appeared to sustain serious damage. Warning, the video of the conflagration does contain some explicit language.
