Up grading to a gts
I've decided to go after a Gts. First I'll have to let my baby go to a new home. Heres the recent work done to my baby.
1990 S4 mileage IN 104244, mileage OUT 104252
WP0JB2921LS860397
Work done:
Replaced Timing belt (needs to be checked again in 1500 miles at 105752 miles)
Replaced water pump with gasket
Rebuilt belt tensionner, o-ring, rubber boot, gasket, bushing
Rebuilt belt roller
Replaced supercharger belt
Replaced power steering belt
Replaced alternator belt
Replaced crankshaft main seal
Replaced front disks
Replaced rear muffler
Installed Supercharger
Installed two fans
Installed SC intercooler, water pump, radiator, fittings, hoses, electrical connections,
blow of valve.
Reroute fan electrical wire to original wiring harness
Replaced motor brace
Bill $5,350.00
Car has 108,000 miles on it now.
It needs the oil pan gasket changed. That was the only major thing. Interior speakers are from Po. There installed badly but r very good quality speakers.
Here are the mods done to it
changed the fuel injectors to Ford racing, for higher flow.
2) installed a fuel pressure gauge directly into the fuel rails (the rectangular fuel lines that acutually sit directly atop the injectors)
3) installed a new set of radiator fans, 3 of them
4) changed fuel filters
5) mounted a Vortec centifuge on a specially designed aluminum mount the bolts with grade-10 hardwared to the engine infront of the H20 pump
6) refitted the crank pully to a max 6-inch spool and all other belt drived devices to rib-type belts
7) fitted an intake system from Vortec to the AFC intake (throttle) body and used a BOV (blow-off valve) vac same as I use on my 964 factory turbo Porsche
8) fitted on the fly fuel-air mix gauge in car along with turbine temp and vac-boost gauges
9) oil diverter to send oil under pressure to Vortec for lubing
10) custom made exhaust collectors to join both factory exhaust headers of engine to stock distal exhaust system and to insert O2 sensor
11) installed a custom made torque tube- extra bearings designed by 928 international to handle the increased torque
Also had compression test done At time of recent mods tests were between 184-189 i believe.
Here r some pics, Its going to detail shop tommorow.
I'm looking for $23,000.
Let me know if im high or low on the price.

Used SC cars are an unknown quantity, whats with the black side skirts ? Also adjust the hood so its aligned better and get a speaker grill for passenger door.
All the little stuff makes a difference !!

The GTS look rear reflector would look much better if the PORSCHE letters were straight and evenly spaced but at least it does not say POSRCHE Andy Keel's comments from about two years ago are equally valid today ......you need dyno and or 1/4 mile numbers to make the car more than just a curiosity. The difficulty getting state smog checks with blower and no cats will be a problem for many.

I know I cant rip the damn strip off. its like taped on :-(. I know I gotta get it to a track. I don't think my skills would be very good with shift points etc. I wanted to S/C a gts. Out of curiosity would it be any different in feel of power? I know the smog check thats why I registered it in Ky. No way it would pass emissions here. But I do have the cats. I don't know if putting them on would do anything. I wanted a Red or Black GTS. I thought painting this would cost 7-8k. Instead of painting it get a gts put the $ towards a S/C. I really do love the car, if it doesn't sell I plan on putting grills on speakers etc. All the minor stuff. From when i first bought it to now, I've upgraded or replaced all vital mechanical things. I thought i'd do the important stuff 1st. Now thats its mechanically great. I can work on the minor cosmetic things.

I'm at 6psi. Right now. I was going to order the 11psi pulley from 928 motor sports. The dyno was going to be done after 11psi install. I have the FAST set up, But I've purchased all up grades from Tim murphy, His intercooler, Intake etc. Your guess would be better then mine on hp. Its at 6psi Intercooled. Ready to be boosted higher. I kept the boost low until I was ready with engine maintenance. Now I'm ready.
