Have I worked with you on the crankcase pressure problem you have? I'm sorry I don't remember.

It seems to me it is installed and working right - if I can help you reduce the crankcase pressure/blow-by of this engine, it seems to me you've got a keeper.

Give me a call at 920-485-0928 to discuss the problem and possible solutions.

The problem I've seen with the LS engine swap..or any other domestic engine swap......they never seem to be complete... always something not working (interior gauges etc) or has some bodged up compromise that "isn't up to the Porsche 928 quality standard".

I'd like to see a full complete renegade conversion where you could sit inside the car and everything worked as Porsche intended...and the only dif was when you popped the hood.... Haven't seen one yet..but many stories out there...
(Maybe Tony's peachy might be the first?).

When you were at OCIC, you were talking about how it had no power, what ended up being the issue on that? Was the SC working right?

Has a compression or leakdown test been done on the engine?

Ive gotten several PM`s asking about selling the s/c kit. I won`t be selling the kit. 90% of the components will wind up on some other project in the future. The problem has never been the kit, For me it was just the 4.7L application. Thanks.

Hey Sean, The problem turned out to be the blower belt broke inside the housing. I`ve since rebuilt it with all new bearings and belt. I`m amazed it ran as well as it did on the way home without the impeller spinning.

Was thinking about your situation when I tossed a belt a couple weeks back. Surprised me that it kept going that well.
