Default Supercharged 928S Heads Home to Baltimore

If you are in the Blatimore MD area, keep your eyes open for our latest install.

Here is a pic of it on the trailer - (That's the Sales and Shipping offices of 928 Motorsports in the background) - the owner drove it here to be supercharged and flew home. Now that it is all done, we trailered it to Chicago for him so he could fly in and drive it home from there.

1984 928S 5-speed, with our Stage 1 kit on it. I will have a video up on our website soon that features this L-Jetronic installation.

It seems like the SC movement is gaining traction. Is there a registry out there? How many SCd 928s are there nation- or world-wide? Estimates anyone?

Carl,

Is this the 310hp, 10,4:1 compression "S" version? I am never sure about the american models.

I am sort of waiting for someone else to test the high-compression 2 valve models before I take the plunge myself...

I was working on a registry for Andy's stuff, but we never finalized it. I think a worldwide registration thing would be pretty cool...

I would definately be interested in helping out w/ programming such a thing if anyone has ideas/etc.

Great idea! Build it and they will come!

ian, the usa did not recieve the 310hp model officialy, only as private 'euro' imports. i think this is the pre 'S2' model with an earlier version of the EFI, not sure if it runs with a MAF. im also interested to see how the higher compression engines tolerate boost, there is a GTS with a newly installed +ve displacement blower, also with 10.4:1 compression - waiting to hear results back from that one. ive only heard of one guy here in england who tried boosting his S2 and he ended up rebuilding the engine though im not sure why.

So, the US "S" model still had a 4,7l 240hp(8,5:1 compression?) in 1984? Still only spoilers added for the "S"? Oh, how the stupid US laws must have affected the performance car industry over the years...

Carl,

What was the final cost to the owner for your turnkey install?

BTW, very cool building. What was it? Seems too big to be a fire house. What do the solar collectors feed and how well do they work?

The owner got a discount because he was the first L-Jet install, paid about $4,300 complete. We charged him $1500 to install it for him. There were other things we did for him while it was here: replace his broken S chin spoiler, inspect clutch wear, replace slave cylinder, replace ignition wires, inspect timing belt and retension, install a short shift kit on it... stuff like that.

Our building is a 5800 sq ft old schoolhouse I rennovated into an office building.
It has 2 tenants now, 928 Motorsports LLC (downstairs) and Safari Software Products (upstairs), and we are looking for 2 more business tenants.

928 Motorsports does its shipping/recieving, parts storage, and tech-support/sales out of this location. Our fabrication shop is down the street about 5 blocks away.
