Awesome job! What model IHI do you have on there? I run an IHI RHB6 on my Callaway 944 and have boost by as little as 1400rpm. I run a max of 1.0bar (15psi) and perhaps up to 18psi with my newly installed water/meth injection. *pics coming* Mainly because the turbo is on the "right" side...and literally that is. Good to see a 924 getting some special treatment and exposure!
Did you have to change out all the spindles, struts, etc to get the 951 brakes to fit?

I'm using IHI KHF-5 from a Hyundai Terracan 2.9 diesel. When exaust is hot, I'll get boost around 2000rpm, full boost is around 2800.

I installed 951 calipers on 944 NA hubs and fabricated adapter plates for them, so everything apart sway bars (S2) and brakes is from 944 NA.

I have some udpated pics of the turbo system I changed few months ago (951 IC, oil cooler, new rad fan):

Awesome car...simply awesome.

why don't you use a recirculating valve instead of the fast and furious one?

Raceboy

Because I had one laying around and it was new, so didn't feel like buying a second one.
I can live with it

Awesome, dude!
Can you keep up with Markus?

Raceboy

Hehee, definitely NOT with this engine, but with new engine that car should smoke Markus's Jäger if everything will be as it should. Ok, it's not nice to speculate, but we'll see.

And god knows when I complete my 931 project.....that should also be pretty fast.

What are you using to monitor your airflow? I did not see any MAP sensor, or MAF? I am sure the orig K-Jetronic would be difficult to hook with your turbo being on the left side.

Raceboy

I'm using VEMS engine management that has internal MAP sensor (400 kPa version) and vacuum line is going from the intake manifold to ECU.

Decided to give the engine bay a good wash and this is how it turned out. I just hope it's stays that way for a while

any performance figures ?

Power measured ?
1/4 mile or other ?

Raceboy

Best ET so far is 13.97 s @ 163 kph. Not dynoed this car yet (a bit slipping clutch), but this trap speed combined with that weight (1150 kg) puts it to 200-210 hp range.

Raceboy

Hi guys,

Took the car to dyno, results are pleasing to say at least Numbers are measured at the wheels, so you can add some amount to get the flywheel figures.
Here's the sheet:

Peep,

What type of dyno ? How much boost to produce those numbers. Very similar BHP to a stock 951 , with less T/Q......

238 BHP @ Flywheel
