From looking around there are several places that name the boxed fendered 924 as a GTR but they're the same sites that say the '86 was a GTP which I know to be false after talking with Kelly Moss Racing and contacting people at Fabcar...

This is so confusing sometimes.

Yes I was wondering what was going on with all that clearance between tyres and guard?

I'll post up a different pic to clarify the issue

I respect if you don't wish to disclose the numbers, but can you tell us a bit more of the parts used?
Like a bit more info about the dry sump setup?

IMHO the intake runnes are too long but they might be designed for a restricted HP race class where you wish to maximize torque as a result of the rules.

How wild did you go in the head/drivetrain area? Maximum rpms?

Is that a DME and KLR BOX?

Please, it says 2 times in this thread that he's running a DTA S60 standalone.

the same car or a replica in a '06 rally in Germany


peter brock and jim richards car at le mans 24hrs '81


its car #74, the canon car is 75:

note that #1 is the 924 CGTP 944 LM and #36 is a CGTR, both virtually identical in appearance so that could get confusing.

anyone speak german?

Jesus Guns, did you like search for weeks and gather every photo avaliable? Damn, that is a nice collection that you have there my friend. Then again, since you are building that dream car, you need these photos to help you re-create that same look, and have some big power too. Thanks for sharing the pics, very, very sweet!!

This is a great example of the quote in my sig.

THE 924 IN THE PIC AT THE TOP, is a 924gtr, the gtp looked the same except it had a prototype engine with 4 valve /cyl head. hence since not being a production engine was ran as a GTP. This engine later turned out to be the basis for the 944. All or most of the 924 pics yoiu have shown where all known as 924 GTR's, The U.S. GTR ( holbert ) had a different style front with the rear box flairs. The GTP is with the protoype engine .
The kelly Moss Car was known as a 944 GTR , the first one done by Holbert was raced in the T/A seiries and in IMSA in the GTO class..
The 924 gtr also raced in the T/A series not sure how many races it won but did start from pole position a few times before making way for the 944 gtr.

also the 1st pic of the 924 GTR , to my knowledge only the factory cars had that front , The other styles where entered by privateers , with most of the body work supplied from the US by Holbert racing , the most famous one being the BF goodrich car , that was prepared and done here in the states .

Sorry Duke , I cannot disclose Details , a few tidbits , max RPM7200 2 stage dry sump , cam sensor / for seq operation , Modified intake with shortened runners , Custom made turbo. Tial wstegate , ECU controlling Boost .
Boost shaped 2 dim vs TPS/RPM , modified head , cam etc.. large Intercooler.

I 'm not one for one off custom turbos , unless they have been tried and tested , but i must say this one made a lot @ 1bar , well at least more than i have ever seen at 1 bar on these engines before.

Did you buy that turbo from a smart man that I know, Wayne?

A.Wayne

I have bought from the smart man before ST. But not this time , This engine was PRESENTED as is , for electronics and dyno work , Info has been disclosed , additional mods had to be done for operation , installation etc.

When this project is 100% complete and you can disclose some data, let alone some dyno sheets, please let all of us know. As I said earlier, it sure looks beautiful and sounds fantastic, but we would love to see dyno runs.
