Vehicle Detail
Selling 1980 Porsche 931(Turbo). This car is in unreal shape. In the ball park of $17,000 has been spent on this car in the past 2 years.(With a folder of Receipts) A brand new paint job this last spring, and rebuilt engine transmission and much much more. The odometer was reset during the rebuild and has 10,XXX miles on it now. Just purchased 2 brand new tires. You will not find a 924 Turbo with so much modification and love put into it. This car is worth every penny. 0-60 in just over 5 seconds, it throws you in your seat. I would not suggest this car for a novice. You have to see it to believe it. This car is fitted with a Mega Squirt EFI Electronic Fuel Injection Controller. A Lilliput 7“ touch screen LCD fits perfectly in the main speaker box in the dashboard. I have yet to get one but right now any laptop with a USB cable can connect and adjust countless settings. The engine is very strong and reliable. The ignition electronics are practically bullet-proof. The EFI system can currently support 350hp+. The transmission is the Porsche-built unit with first gear to the left and down. Below is all the info on the car including every fix / replacement / issue / and blemish. You won't be getting any surprises.

I would make a 4th gear run, but I would be arrested doing that on the highway... An older 3rd gear run showed an extra ~20rwhp compared to an equal 2nd gear run. I would estimate ~250HP at the flywheel which is around 220RWHP. This is in line with other intercooled 931's running at 1bar. I'm not sure how much more boost the turbo will produce, but it should be good for a few more psi at the least. If it matters: top speed was originally stated as 140mph which was limited by the power the car made and not the gearing. The top speed of this 931 is easily 10-15mph higher due to the increased power. 6600rpm spark-retard set rev limit - Laptop Programmable electronic fuel injection (MegaSquirt ECU) & spark timing - ECU based on manifold air pressure and intake air temperature sensors - Crank-trigger distributor-less EDIS igntion - Custom made crank trigger mount to crankshaft - Ignition distributor removed and covered with a steel blanking plug - 750cc "RC Injector" fuel injectors (good for 350hp+) - Zietronix wide-band oxygen sensor & controller (for accurate real-time air/fuel readings) - Professional grade shrink-wrapped text-coded wiring harnesses - Relay board for ECU, injectors, wide-band o2, fuel pump, IAT, CLT, ignition, etc. - Replaced wiring for alternator, starter, battery, main grounds - All wiring is documented!

ISSUES - Mechanic installed the flywheel incorrectly and the timing marks don't show up. I'm not at all happy about this. Timing is approximated reasonably accurately using the cam timing belt wheel. Real timing tuning should be done on back-to-back dyno runs, but I'm not happy about not knowing the degrees accurately. - EGT sensor had broken off (I broke it...) and I replaced it with a brass plug in the exhaust manifold. If you want EGT readings then you need to buy a new sensor from Zeitronix. It bolts in easily. - Needs more fine-tuning with the laptop. Endless amounts of tinkering! Although it runs well as-is, the accelerator is touchy due to the air:fuel mix being off at cruising. -Seems to have a small issue with electrical Grounds, Horn does not work but blows when voltage is applied to it. Passenger windows does not work but motor works when voltage is applied, driver side turn signal blinks rapidly as if a light was out. AC doesn't work, but seems to just be another ground issue.
