Looks like an awesome build in the making Frank, cant wait to see it come together! All the best mate!

 

i decided to search youtube for "964 with throttle bodies" and "Bumpin Pumpkin Lives" came back...a nice looking orange 964.....sound is epic.......loved the guy next to it with his fingers in his ears! LOL ....hope yours sounds this good.

 

Frank, this looks a great build...

...but I'm concerned about the noise...I'm worried it'll be too loud, and it'll turn Black Betty into something you can't use as often...

 

The high lift cams were chosen in conjunction with the ITBs. I run around with my suspension on full hard 100% of the time, comfort, practicality aren't issues. With the right tuning Nick has many of these engines purring like kittens even in everyday scenarios.

Cheers mate.

Great video!

We're aiming for 105db (same as I had before) I'll be using clip on exhaust baffles of some kind when it needs to be a tad quieter...

How's the BMW?

 

UPDATE 2

* Powder coating - Guards cam covers & fan. Black fan housing. Silver fan surround.
* Engine tinware - All the trays etc are in great condition, which is a big surprise. Nice cost dodge there.
* Machining - Cylinder heads are being worked on, ports detailed with Nick's special techniques. Case has been gas flowed and detailed.
* Crank is being balanced.
* 4 Engines have left his shop leaving room for mine up in the assembly room - assembly should begin next week.

I'm being sent photos soon - so will post those asap.

 

sounds like its moving pretty quickly mate.

 

That video is epic!

 

Huba,Huba......wet dream come true.....eh frank!!

 

Wow!....at this rate, you'll be getting your car back on the road sooner than me, you bugger!!

Seriously, great progress...told you Nick was sound!

Look forward to a catchup chat mate....been a lot of progress on my build, which after >6wks of not updating the thread, I finally got around to today.

 

Update 3

* Could have chosen more aggressive cams and uprated rockers but this would effect drivability & blown the budget.
* Compression - 11.5.
* Pistons & Cylinders are 3.8 993RS Mahle items - have arrived.
* ARP Head studs & through bolts have arrived. Machining required for new case bolts to fit.
* Heads will have bigger valves in the end, exhaust ports being reworked. Aiming for similar spec as 993RS heads.
* Case has been boat tailed - increase flow.
* Wiring loom being made up.
* Crank has been polished and balanced.
* Also I made a mistake re Nick's HP estimate - so won't make any claims until the dyno results come out...
* Received some pics of the disassembly...










Sounds great - I'll check your thread soon!

 

...

 

Nice pics Frank, think i may need to refer back to this thread when its my time! Going to cherry pick some of your ideas, just the cheaper ones!

North wales run on the 26th then is it Frank??

 

Boat-tailed, polished & balanced, colour.

 

Awesomeness of the highest level.

 

Whatever it is, this is gonna be one amazing engine.....
