Very nice, Stefan.
Tell me about the timing your using now.
I'm going to use the FVD sensor bracket. Looks like it essentially yields timing like the 930's had from stock but a sanity check is always a good thing.

I had mine done in 08 at 116000 and it looked the same way, almost brand new inside. But, no broken stud!!
Get some dyno time and let us know. Fotos are great thanks

That is great. I just had mine helicoiled.

This should raise the value of your car?

How much are ez69 relays selling for?

I paid 3900 for a new one last year. I think the factory had 2 at the time.

Wow.... How much is a used ez69 relay worth?



Do you think the 964 T is worth more after conversion?

I couldn't find a used ez69 and even so there would be no guarantee it wouldn't fail. Conversion to alternate ignition would have cost just as much. My mechanic recommended against conversion. He says all are not very reliable (units tend to fail often), and mapping them for all conditions is a PIA.
I think the conversion drops the value of a car, the market is trending towards original cars.

Thought I heard $600 for a used one, if you can find it.
An argument for conversion is the opportunity to re-map the timing to liberate more torque. The factory timing is very conservative for markets that do not have 98 octane fuel. In Stefan's case, he had to go with the conversion since he went to dual plugs. Clewett has a nice kit for $1400, but that's a lot cheaper than $3900. Ignition maps exist so if you can work on your car, you could do the conversion without too much difficulty.

My engine bay wiring harness is still intact - wrapped in tape and tucked up under the fuse panel cover. I have my coil , distributor, wires in a box . The Fly wheel is another matter it is a LW 62-2
I could change it back in an afternoon ..

It would be easy to go back ...that is if I wanted to..... and if I had a EZ-69

Ugh, I have to go to PP to read about it?
The turbo board over there seems to be a gigantic dick measuring contest.
Stefan, had the engine build you did been for a 930, you would be John C. Holmes over there
My links aren't looking the greatest either but that will be fixed in next year's budget.
I noticed in the video that the wheel bearing is just howling away.
