Just to point out, If you're still thinking of going a GTX3582r, and haven't made the decision yet.
A friend with a mazda MPS 2.3L uses a gtx3076r and respectively pulled 540hp on 29psi.

Thanks a lot one more time for you compliments and councils guys
Concerning the GT35 it's already mounted so we'll just have to see the results of the Dyno in max 3 months i hope ...

For now, i can't wait to show you the result

Not sure how you'd do it but I wonder if the Museum would be interested in your build?

Well done, how about a trade?

I would like to set that in my shop just to enjoy looking at it.

Maybe pose it with a stock turbo like the poster.

Great job, faithful build.

I think i every time say the same thing when i post a reply but really Thank you guys for all your sympathetic answers. Do a car" Tribute" is not hard in the creative way because of course you only need to copy but physically "do it" is another thing... So when i read your comments i think it wants to say we've done a good job.

I think some guys are doing largely more incredible Iconic Porsche than us. Only have a look on Werkzcars job with their 917 and 906 replica.
Museum cars are before everything "Historic". Our car is of course only a Tribute. So i think they don't care about it. It's only a replica for them.

You're proposing a trade ! this is i think also a so nice compliment thank you. In, a first time we need to make it whirr i think. Stock Turbo is not excluded but we'll see it in a second time $$$.

For now the car came back on its pads for the last finishes but only after some summer holidays



See you guys

Stunning.

I hope though that you used steel for the cage, rather than the aluminum as on the original?

Please post some pictures of it out in the sunlight! Incredible work!

Incroyable. Je suit ton thread depuis longtemps, et je peux m'imaginer a quel point tu es excité d'avoir enfin ''complété'' cette recréation. C'est beau a voir un travail de cette qualité!

J'ai bien hâte de voir le résultat du dyno avec le gt35. Je te souhaite de bons résultats.

Félicitations encore

Encore une fois, le front end, ou l'as tu commandé? Je ne trouve pas de bonne source. Du moins, de quoi tu es parti. Je comprends que 99% du build est custom.

Merci sympa d'avoir un message d'un compatriote ici
En effet il nous tarde de voir ce que donne la mécanique.
Le front vient de chez gt racing comme on peut s'en douter et commander directement aux usa.

En effet il y a un gros boulot pour le mettre dans la configuration de la 944LM surtout au niveau de la "bouche" qui guide l'air aux radia. Il faut la fabriquer complètement. De base le kit correspond à la voiture 36 en 81.
Mais rien n'est impossible la preuve. Bon courage à toi pour la suite.
Sorry for this french message guys but so Happy to see that french persons are Also following the thread. Maybe Thanks to the picture you can imagine the question and answer
