Re: European / ROW rear bumper on a USA 1987 951

I also added the Euro turbo bumper on my 89 951 - so much better.
That said, I do have another Guards Red turbo bumper in storage, but would need the solid body mounts.

Re: 86 Turbo Running Rough when hot/injector questions

Yep - fake injectors...
As noted on FB, these will run lean and melt a piston in short order.

Re: 85.1 944 heads - choices for this engine






@rheidtman I have an 86 turbo where the timing belt failed. I have not removed the head yet but am planning to do so in June. I was interested in getting an estimate on the cost for a rebuild assuming that all exhaust valves would need to be replaced. please send me a PM
Thank you,

Re: 85.1 944 heads - choices for this engine




For a budget build, a good used head is your best bet. Just have it checked for cracks and resurfaced by a machine shop before you bolt it on. Avoid mixing N/A and turbo heads as they have different compression ratios. A new casting is overkill for your needs.

just fyi... the combustion ...

Re: Power Steering Not Working but no visible leaks

Sage advice!
Over the course of the last month, I have cobbled together a PS rack/pump test rig and now able to duplicate an on-car situation. I mention this as this as there are, indeed, pumps and racks that simply cannot be fixed - as noted herein.

Re: 2012 Pani turbo S water pump

I own a '15 PTS and have zero issues with my cooling system and have not found them to be problematic.
That said, the 970.1 (MY 10-13) did have issues with the coolant tubes (poor design), as well as t-stats. But, once repaired, tend to be good to go.

Re: Setting Mechanical Throttle Stop - How?

The real key to getting the idle stop properly set is to ensure the throttle blade is perfectly centered. Failing this proper alignment, it will always be out of adjustment.
