1200 degrees. If there's a G28.57 box in there, great, but the molten doors less than 3 feet away might give me pause.
I'd have been interested for the fuel door spring, but that appears to have been harvested already. Sad.
Especially since this was, almost certainly, an undercoating/interior fire (and spreading from there) from the cats getting white hot.
Jumper those overheat relays when you can't figure out what is actually wrong, right?
(Very doubtful that it started in the engine compartment...with the magnesium intake still there.)
Hmm - if the magnesium intake is still OK, the GTS block could still be fine.
Keep in mind that Porsche has no oversize pistons, for these engines...
So as long as no water got down the intake (zero odds of that) and the water that did go down didn't sit in the cylinders for more that a few days before the spark plugs were pulled and the water removed (and the cylinders oiled) in those same few days, the engine might be able to be rebuilt as a stock GTS engine.
I have a morbid curiosity to find out what it was before the fire?
Guess it is the same reason I enjoy strolling through boneyards looking at what was and speculating as to what it might become with enough dedication and skill...

Anybody Recognize this GTS?
