The beauty of this install is that the whole package weighs no more than the I4turbo it replaced. Can anyone tell me how to upload the pictures? I cant make the Jpegs small enough to allow them to be uploaded.
Thanks

Hey Jose,
If you want just shoot the pictures over to me @ cwt951@gmail.com. I would be glad to reformat them and post them for you, or just send them back so you can post them.
Hope you've been doing well!
Chris

goodluck with the install. I was hoping to run some of you guys for fun to show you what a simple bolt on 951 can do...but, that never happened.
Anyways good luck with things and be sure to post up pics/video. I wouldnt mind running a 951 with a ls1 in it. It would be fun.

pics....we need pics. I'd like to hear some feedback on the following too:
1) Can you access all of the plugs without cursing?
2) How are the brakes without a booster?

I think its hypocritical to think of THIS as a 951 "purist" site, when not one of us will think twice about putting aftermarket go-fast parts on our cars- regardless who makes it, including "rice" parts. I doubt that anyone one this list can claim that they have a truly Porsche factory stock car and only wants Porsche part upgrades. All this angst is just testosterone seepage.
Yet, its easy to scoff when someone wants to replace the engine. What is the philisophical difference between a bastard-frankenstein 951 engine that pushes 350rwTQ and a GM push-rod V8 with the same terminal TQ?
I think that V8 engine will last longer, and when it breaks, won't cost $10K to overhual. Actually, I don't just think...I know!
I been there, done that. My position is: Unless you know, Shut the #@%& Up, and keep your stupidity to yourself! I own both a track prepped 951 and a street 944-LT1. I can say from firsthand experience how much it cost to rebuild my 951 engine, then repair a blown HG, 6 months later. Turbo changes, engine managemant, blah, blah blah... In the interim, to get the 951 engine to the present running form equivalent HP/TQ of the LT1 (smooth and reliable), not including time/labor involved, is about $25K vs. $14K. (Cost of the base cars not included!).
Which is faster?? Who cares, they both have their weaknesses. A better driver in a lesser car can still catch me in the corners. But at the end of the day, I can just smile.

Hypocrite am I? well, I actually don't care what you do with your own car, just as long as you keep the name calling to yourself. Jeez, I think DDD's rubbed off a bit!

I love it! have you actually read the garbage DoubleDigitDoug has written on the homepage www.560sec.com ? Duuh, hello, I think I understand what sarcasm is.... duuh. dumba$$!
Oh and Luis, I was so bloody frustrated with his crappy thread over on his back-patters board I almost put my foot though my monitor to make it go away.
Don't get me started on DDD, I'd be here for days (and need sedation!)

Too bad NZ is missing all of this. Maybe I'll share my popcorn with Hosram?
Nope he's banned too. Nice work Horsey. You too are missing a beauty of a thread.
More popcorn for me.
