Episode.77 Another episode from the archives, working up to the season finale.This week I am diving into the M44.09 engine for my white widebody 924S - and it is bad. INSTAGRAM // / onlyaroadtripaway Sony RX100 Sony A7S3
I´m really looking forward to the next episode. I love both your storytelling and your craftsmanship. I have to get started on my 205 GTI 1,9 that’s been sitting idle in my garage for the last 10 years!
Mmm. worrying title. I have my 951 engine in pieces, so I will watch in case there is a "don't do this" moment. In my experience, whatever happens, the 944 engine is recoverable as long as the alusil bores and cylinder tubes top faces are ok. Fingers crossed hey?
The 3.0 blocks are less durable and need oversizing more often. The 2.5 N/A if kept well almost never truly dies. The infrequent oilchanges on this one gave some premature wear. If it was a perfect rebuild I‘d gone oversize, but as a standard street build it was within spec.
I saw to many broken 951 engines because the third piston dont always gets oil! So you have to modify the oil bay or put more oil that you need it! And sometimes people put to much boost without a proper balancing and reinforcing the engine! Is a delicate engine to handle
Fidanza makes a lightweight aluminum flywheel for the 944. I've got one on my car, along with a 7 puck clutch. It really changed the feel of the car. Real snappy.
The cost to import one of those to Germany was just not sensible for this kind of rebuild and unfortunately there is nothing within the EU available atm...
@@OnlyARoadtripAway gotcha, makes sense. I was able to get lucky and find a used one in decent shape from a Porsche graveyard. But awesome build and video!
darf ich unverschämt fragen, was für einen filter bzw. colorgrading du verwendest um diese schönen glow highlights und die rötlichen ausrisse bekommst.
