This is my '87 porsche 951 project car.

i have had the car for about 3 years now, and it has come along way for me being a poor college student. when i got the car it had a broken windshield, broken hood, broken driver window, missing rear tail light, no rear carpet, and basically every electrical component on the car didn't work, as well as the engine running quite poorly. sense then i have replaced and fixed nearly everything wrong with the car. this last summer i finally got a new(er) engine in it and it is running MUCH better. here are some pictures of the car and engine. homerdoh56's 1987 Porsche 944 The work done is basically replacing the engine with a salvage engine until i get the original rebuilt. Also, i have installed a 3" SFR SS catback exhaust, a 38mm tial dual port wastegate, Lindsey racing performance blow-off valve, Lindsey racing manual boost controller, SFR heavy duty vacuum lines (blue), fuel pressure gauge welded to fuel rail, adjustable fuel pressure regulator, SFR SS braided fuel lines, autometer boost gauge and A/F gauge on a-pillar. Body work includes a GT-racing carbon fiber hood, euro fog/driving lights, my own custom light wiring (4 gauge power off battery with inline fuses distributed to headlights, brights, fogs, and driving lights, all controlled with relays), Hella H-4 headlights, hand painted centercaps, and painted black rims (i know i'm cheap but it looks cool IMO). All the work including the engine swap was done by myself. homerdoh56's 1987 Porsche 944

i have taken the car autocrossing a few times, and to the drag strip once.
at the strip, babying the car, i ran a 14.9 at 97 MPH at 8 lbs of boost. i can run the car at 14 lbs of boost no problem, but at the time the boost guage was broke (and boost set to minimum). keep in mind it has a brand new clutch ($650) and i didn't feel like replacing because of the drag strip. homerdoh56's 1987 Porsche 944

update:

i have ordered a wideband O2 sensor to give a better idea of the AF ratio. and to go with this noew tool, i also ordered an Apexi S-AFC2 to control the fuel injection at the different RPM levels. pics soon to come.
