My Proto 3.8L conversion is nearing completion, as well, courtesy of John and Paul from Protosport in New Jersey. After completion of engine re-install this week, break-in and tuning the new setup should begin next week. It will be a twin-plug with K18/24 turbo's with peak boost up to 1.2BAR, good for 675-ish peak HP, 600+ peak lb-ft, with a Sachs/Euro RS clutch, Euro RSR single mass LWFW, Proto stage IV IC, front-mount oil coolers, 993 comp. throttle mod., RSR Motorsports fuel pumps, and with the manifold intake modified to initially accomodate the 993 '97 OBDII ECU to pass emisisons (NY State), with changeover to the 993 '95 ECU thereafter based on the OBDI for a speed density system programmed to over 700HP. The new build of course will have all the necessary structural mods. and will sit on H&R clubsport shocks and springs with other chassis mods. to handle the additional power. Can't wait to get her back next month:
