Cool build!! :metal:

Re: Project: Turbo 250
 

Thanks Joe! It will be cooler when I get my block and head back hopefully next week so I can start getting that back together! It was supposed to be done almost two weeks ago which was the deadline I gave them when I dropped it off!

Re: Project: Turbo 250
 

Well I got back from the Chicago auto show and well I fell in love with this color the moment i seen it. It is an upgrade color option for the 2012 Porsche 911 Carrera S. The pic really doesn't do justice for how much depth and pop the color has. On top of it the cost is the same price as the other paint I was looking at which is $680 per gallon. All copyright goes to Porsche on this photo just want to give them credit for it.

Good choice in color..

Re: Project: Turbo 250
 

Well I just got the the bell housing back from the machine shop got it welded up cause the starter tab had broke off. I also dropped off my turbo manifold to have it counter bored and to have the center divider milled out of it. I will get that back tomorrow. Everything is on schedule to pick up my rear end and head and camshaft this sat. from Tom Lowe. I had him set the rear up with an eaton posi. And he did all the porting and head work for me. I was told that I will have the engine back in my hands next week! Which means I can get going on the final assembly and paint on the engine!!!!

Re: Project: Turbo 250
 

Well I ended up braving the snow and ice storm tonight and made the normally 2 hour trip one way to Tom's place in Dysart and picked up my rear. He rebuilt the posi with new gears kevlar composite clutches, 400lb springs, 10ga sideplates and I ended up putting in 3.07 gears instead of the 2.76. I also picked up the head, it looks great and am really happy with the work he has done. 70 cc chamber 1.94/1.60 valves, and enough spring for .550 lift at 6500rpm. Although I went with the smaller cam for .495 of lift which means more rpm but I think i will cap her off at 6 grand.

Re: Project: Turbo 250
 

Can't wait! :metal: Guess I'll have to wait on the pics to see what color you went with on the bellhousing and transmission!

Re: Project: Turbo 250
 

I really like your build, but was wondering if there was any particular reason you went with the 250 rather than doing the same with a 292. Seems like there would be quite a bit more power potential. Is there a difference in the blocks or cranks that make it a weaker choice? Or was it just to use the engine you had?

Re: Project: Turbo 250
