It's a easy install with a professional glass guy that know's his 911's. I ordered the inner 993 seal, the outer 993 seal, 993 Rear View Mirror.
i also ordered the 993 glass myself from Porsche. I had the glass out for the resto. I had the inner seal installed to keep the headliner in place. New 964 seals just don't work very well for me.
Next year I'll be looking at the 993 RS Rear glass with defrost delete. I have the inner seal and need to order that expensive glass. I ordered a early 911 rear glass and it does not work with a 964 seal.
Too loose with the seal falling in.
That glass above still has it's 2000 Missouri inspection sticker I wanted to keep it. I had the inspection done back then, the car was sold and sat for 23 years.

I could say I'm having the worst luck with these stupid master cylinders. NOW on my third one with freaking dead Bees in it. 1st one blocked, 2nd one beyond rusted.
.....All good. Clean it out, freak out, bench bled it, Mount it and find adaptors.
On a positive I finally have a working Clutch. I bought a Air pressure bleeder system from harbor freight. I've never had so many problems bleeding a system in my 30 years working on a cars.

Quick insurance photo. Next week's list..... Replacing the rear reflector, License lights, quarter chip guard to be applied at some point. Shark fins loosely installed. 993 third brake light install problems with 964 glass seal. I need to switch this glass to 993 RS. I think that's the only glued in glass that doesn't have defrost lines.
The early 911 glass is too small for a 964 seal. Needs a G-body seal.
Align decklid. Ordered frt bumper pans. Need to Hookup vacuum brake booster. Lower idle and check cold start valve.
Bleed brakes again and align vehicle.

Scott,
I just noticed in your pictures that you went with an aftermarket Scavenge pump, why not OEM?

Also, does your turbo oil (catch) tank vent or is it just inlet and outlet to the scavenge pump? The OEM turbo oil drain tank has a vent.

...more to come on that....I have a theory!!


PS: Is that a '77 or '78 TA? In my early life, in 1985 I owned a white '77 TA which I tubbed and turned into a ProGas NHRA car which I ran for a few years. It absolutely drained all my money.

The Clewett Oil pump is for the air pump delete. This cleans that area up.
My goal with this build is to replace my 94 Hotrod turbo that I sold in 2010.
The Venting of the extremely hot oil coming out of the turbo is important. I understand that.
What's your solution to venting that 300 degree oil?

During my rebuild, I changed the stock exhaust/Cat/etc. and stock turbo oil drain tank for an A/M (freer flowing) exhaust with turbo oil drain tank.

And I have been thinking that none of the turbo oil drain tanks that I have seen have a vent!!! So why did Porsche engineers vent the turbo oil drain tank and the A/M guys did not?

Could this cause "suction" during key-off, and cause drain back from the Scavenge pump back into the Oil drain tank fill it up. etc.?

I have 100mi on my engine now and went ahead and dropped the exhaust to fix an exhaust leak, and while at it I removed the turbo, etc., valve covers, etc to re-inspect everything.

I have not come to a conclusion yet...Can simply adding a significant rise/dimple on the hardline from Scavenge pump back to the oil drain tank suffice?

Iggoz,
I could be totally wrong. So any expert feel free to chime in. I've always thought the oil pump sucks oil from the case through the turbo. The suctions stays in that line. not to have the oil back up in the turbo causing oil to leak through. The oil after cooling the turbo shaft is ultra hot. May be 300 degrees, smoking, sizzling, and popping.
Venting that tank is a great idea to the airbox. The oil can harden in that oil tank. It's a good idea to boil that out or replace the after a certain amount of time.
I bought my header system used. Someone stored the turbo oil tank incorrectly allowing moisture in to the tank. Rust and debris was found in my tank after cutting it open for inspection. Both systems have worked with slight modifications to these cars year after year.
Is this what you are talking about?

Another example after not replacing 100% of this car. 22 years of sitting. I told the previous owner everything will be shot and it will take another year to sort issues like this brake light switch.
Good thing I like a challenge. May be 10-20 more items are also on the repair list. The fuel tank sending unit was replaced. After replacing the gauge, VDO sending unit, Cleaning wiring I found that the NEW sending unit sold to me is bad. I took it apart to inspect. Two of the contacts were not touching. But still does not work. Glad I have the 93 964 next to this car so I can swap and diagnose.

Brake pressure warning light is next. I have the 965 VDO brain. That dummy light picks up lack of brake pressure or brake fluid low. My contact switch in the Brake fluid reservoir works.
Might be the removed brake booster pump causing the light?

1991 911 Turbo shown here next to the 93 964 Cab. I absolutely love this 964 CAB. It's very difficult to find killer cabs. i threw the 964 CAB on the market for sale.
No one out there cares to even call on the CAB. I've always been a CAB lover regardless of this current backdated market.
I know Santa Clarita is showing interest. We'll see if I can keep both cars.

They decided to showcase park the Turbo and not work on it this week.
Very grateful she's inside. Trying to hang with the Big dogs of STL.

OH, SO close on this governor issued Missouri plate to our family in the 1970's. For now it looks like I have dyslexia.
