Well the 951 project is on hold for the time being, and the N/A decided she wanted some garage time... hope to have it all back together in a week or so... head is off being rebuilt by IMA Motorsport, gaskets and such are coming in, should have MOST of them by Friday, with even more stuff coming in next week! Even went one step further, all PS stuff is off the car, being cleaned up and refurbished / rebuilt, and the fuel tank is coming off for cleaning.. I need to drop the trans off to replace the mount (LR solid mount is driving me crazy, but I already have a buyer for it)..
Yes George it's pretty raw looking, but I'm told this is early days and there's still quite a bit left on the table. Both in driving and the car itself.

You had the 0.63 a/r turbine?
I think I logged 3400 rpm in 4th gear as best with a GT3582R 0.82 T3 on a 2.5l. But during transient boost conditions you could feel the size of the turbo. I think many people don't realize a bigger turbo slows down transient boost too, and not just reach 1 bar a couple of hundred rpms slower.
I wouldn't run a GT35 (talking about the standard size: GT3582R 0.82 T3) unless shooting for at least 1.5 bar of boost on a 2.5l.

plans for the year ahead are paint 2 more cars and try not to top myself with how much i hate auto painting.
put my NA 944 together as a decoy registration car.
dig my 951 out from under the pile of junk and get started on mounting the fuel system computer build the engine bottom end is waiting for the pistons from coating head is about 30% done but is going pretty stupid with custom ti valves and light weight lifters.
fit the bigger motor and rear mount turbo in my merc .
fix superkart
build sky scaper
fix dirbike
service space shuttle.
build new loft
relocate kitchen
paint factory
adapt nascar brakes to mercedes
unified field theory.
weld more stuff on trailer.
wool tuft aero steet work

Yes sir.. .63 A/R. It seemed to spool anytime it felt like it and still made gobs of power. I have no idea what Im going to do with this next turbo.. I Have a twin Scroll turbine housing, but its too small for what i want.. which is a .78. kinda wierd. the next size up is a monsterous 1.06. (EDIT, ATP offers a .82 twin scroll at a retarded high price) I might go to a TIAL Stainless. .82 A/R. But I REALLY want a dual / twin scroll turbine at about a .85-.90
Bruce, I would contact user 'Thingo' / Rod regarding twin scroll turbos. He's been working with a few different ones and setups over the last year or so.

Got the Walbro installed today, gave the gauge panel a respray and put into its new home and somehow all the Evap. components just seemed to disappear into another dimension... or rather, into a box, in my closet. You can free up some nice room by taking all the evap related crap out!

Installed the new waterpump today... apparently my radiator hoses are still stuck in Greensboro NC for some reason, even though the package from Lindsey made it to Greensboro later than the package from Paragon... according to UPS, its stuck in a trailer waiting on transfer... BS.. I think its lost after being there for four damn days....
Also, according to my accounting, I have spent $5750 on my 951 since October (includes the price of the car of $3K).
Not too bad since this will basically do everything on the engine as far as maintenance is concerned and then some

And your avatar...is that a Porsche-published photo, or did you take that yourself? If the latter...can we see a full-sized version?

LOL.. nope, just thrifty in my spending and researching parts to save the most $$
By researching instead of just hitting the typical parts suppliers, I saved probably $500 so far.. not bad
Oh, and the package is on the move from Greensboro to me, it will be here today with my rad hose set.
