Details

A comprehensive restoration was completed on this 1979 Porsche 930 Turbo in 2017, and included all-new and upgraded engine, transmission, suspension, bushings, adjustable rear sway-bar system, electrical system, fuel system and air conditioning. The body was properly disassembled and then refinished in Venetian Blue, and a new windshield - as well as all-new moldings, trims and rubber seals - was installed during its reassembly. The undercarriage was painted and undercoated, and the subframe was bead-blasted and painted to factory specifications. Inside, the seats, roof and door pillars, door panels, dashboard, dash fascia and center console were recovered in high-quality leather, and Wurth sound-deadening mat was fitted under the new carpet and sidewalls. The headliner, sunroof, carpet edge moldings, rear parcel tray, as well as the center tunneling carpet, trims, grommets and finishers, are new as well. This custom Porsche is powered by a ProtoTech Stage 3 3.3-liter V6 engine that has been completely rebuilt and equipped with a Motronic engine management system. The engine rebuild included all-new bearings, performance rod bolts, GT2 head studs, Mahle piston and cylinder set, timing chains and rails, new-style cam sprockets, idler gears conversion kit updated to a hydraulic oil-feed setup, valve springs and titanium retainers, 3-angle valve job, rockers, Motronic Carrera high-clamp-load clutch and flywheel, custom 54-row oil cooler, and powder-coated and polished engine parts. The engine has also been outfitted with a new custom Garrett Hybrid GT40 double ball bearing turbo, custom headers, 304 stainless custom mufflers with 4-inch polished outlet pipe and F1-style merge collectors, custom air-to-air intercooler, custom Stage 3 fuel injectors with Rising Rate ProtoTech fuel pressure regulator, twin Bosch 962 high-pressure fuel pumps, and a new fuel system, including tank, lines, filler neck, evaporator and sending unit. The dual MSD system includes capacitive discharge control units. The 4-speed manual transmission was upgraded with limited-slip differential and rebuilt axles with new inner and outer constant velocity joints. Stopping power is provided by upgraded 12-inch front and 13-inch rear vented and slotted custom rotors, Brembo 4-piston monoblock calipers, stainless braided custom brake lines, track metallic pads and brakes, with a master cylinder upgrade.
