I can confirm it's a worthwhile upgrade! You'll need a standalone to run an aftermarket coil pack. I was harassing V2 rocket about converting to EDIS using a MegaJolt controller: http://www.autosportlabs.net/MegaJolt_Lite_Jr..

It's been done on a 924S with great results and is not expensive, I think around $250. However if you have a little more spending money, I can't help but make a shameless plug for full standalone, my car pulls harder than ever and is infinitely more reliable.

Speed chasing threads & scuffing up heads.



Painting all the cam bolt heads for the outside of the cam box (the ones to go internally not painted).

First stage of modifying the B.S. areas was to tap the galleries. tried for metric but the hole size of the gallery preferred a 1/4" bolt. After cleaning the threads I applied loc-tite & they snugged up nicely. Bolt length is about 30mm of thread.

Rumour is this modification helps improve lube to the crankshaft.

Here is the exhaust sound before some minor changes (I think the stage 1 head & increasing length of bigger dia exhaust pipe are the only changes).

Yes Arominus!! Thanks for checking.

So ready to move on from the leakage. Hate it or love it... I went extreme.

Step 1) 510 anaerobic sealant on head.

Step 2) applied super duper sticky hi-tack gasket sealant to the cam tower. Made sure gasket orientation was correct.

Applied blue loc-tite to bolt threads & ground the bit holder down so from torque wrench to pit, it's all no-flex 3/8" size tools. Cam tower is now installed.
