Vehicle Description
A comprehensive restoration was completed on this 1979 Porsche 930
Turbo in 2017, and included all-new and upgraded engine,
transmission, suspension, bushings, adjustable rear sway bar
system, electrical system, fuel system and air conditioning. The
body was properly disassembled and then refinished in Venetian
Blue, and a new windshield - as well as all-new moldings, trims and
rubber seals - were installed during its reassembly. The
undercarriage was painted and undercoated, and the subframe was
bead-blasted and painted to factory specifications. Inside, the
seats, roof and door pillars, door panels, dashboard, dash fascia
and center console were recovered in high-quality leather, and
Wurth sound-deadening mat was fitted under the new carpet and
sidewalls. The headliner, sunroof, carpet edge moldings, rear
parcel tray, as well as the center tunneling carpet, trims,
grommets and finishers, are all new as well. This custom Porsche is
powered by a ProtoTech Stage 3 3.3-liter V6 engine that has been
completely rebuilt and equipped with a Motronic engine management
system. The engine rebuild included all-new bearings, performance
rod bolts, GT2 head studs, Mahle piston and cylinder set, timing
chains and rails, new-style cam sprockets, idler gears conversion
kit updated to a hydraulic oil-feed setup, valve springs and
titanium retainers, 3-angle valve job, rockers, Motronic Carrera
high-clamp-load clutch and flywheel, custom 54-row oil cooler, and
powder-coated and polished engine parts. The engine has also been
outfitted with a new custom Garrett Hybrid GT40 double ball bearing
turbo, custom headers, 304 stainless custom mufflers with 4''
polished outlet pipe and F1-style merge collectors, custom
air-to-air intercooler, custom Stage 3 fuel injectors with Rising
Rate ProtoTech fuel pressure regulator, twin Bosch 962
high-pressure fuel pumps, and a new fuel system, including tank,
lines, filler neck, evaporator and sending unit. The dual MSD
system includes capacitive discharge control units. The 4-speed
manual transmission was upgraded with limited-slip differential and
rebuilt axles with new inner and outer constant velocity joints.
Stopping power is provided by upgraded 12" front and 13" rear
vented and slotted custom rotors, Brembo 4-piston monoblock
calipers, stainless braided custom brake lines, track metallic pads
and brakes, with a master cylinder upgrade. This custom Porsche
rides on Speedline Alesio chromed wheels wearing Michelin Pilot
Sport tires with machined rear wheel spacers for custom look and
fitment.
