The long-and-short of it is that the engine runs very well but has a few oil leaks. Compression for cylinders 1-4 is: 145psi, 143psi, 142psi, 133psi, respectively.
Note: stock injectors not included. Can include 70# injectors if you like.
$1500 OBO. Motivated seller, as I'd really rather not move with this. Preference (and discount) given to local buyer (Washington DC area).
Basic engine stats:
- 130k miles on bottom end
- 30k miles on:
Ported head
5-angle valve job
New HG - Car has averaged 50% track, 50% street for the past 7 years.
- Always run with dual oil coolers (max temp reached was ~230F)
- Blackstone oil analysis after every oil change (will be providing most recent report once I get around to sending the oil out for analysis)
- Oil changes twice/year
- Never driven on-boost until oil reached >150F.
- Max boost: 1.05 bar (with different turbo than is coming with the engine)
- EGTs never above 1500F
- Compression check done Sept 2015:
Cyl 1: 145psi
Cyl 2: 143psi
Cyl 3: 142psi
Cyl 4: 133psi - Burned very little oil (for these motors) with the Vitesse turbo. Typically ~0.5qt per DE day (three or four sessions).
- K26/6 turbo has slight shaft play and burned a slight amount of oil before removal (more than the Vitesse) but still well within spec. This turbo was removed from a previous (stock) 951 I owned before this one.
- Water pump done during 2014 season.
- Belts and rollers done prior to the 2015 season.
- 70lb injectors: Cleaned annually
- AFR: ~11.1-11.3:1. Note that optimum power comes at around 11.7 but I wanted a bit more cooling + protection so purposefully was a little rich.
- Current oil leaks:
Note: weeps all the time but actively leaks only when motor is warm. After shut-off, drops 2-3 drops typically.
Most substantial leak: lower turbo O-ring.
