911 Carrera RallyCross Project

4 minute(s) of a 245 minute read

The 911’s engine is back together. First we painted the valve covers red because racecar.

Then our cleaned and tested fuel injectors arrived from Cruzin Performance.

We repainted all the tinware

Then replaced the intake manifold connector with a silicone one from Vibrant.

We took advantage of the open engine bay to install some Sparco hood pins

Then our new intake gaskets arrived for TRE Motorsports

And a new engine cross member from Rennline

Munks Motors rebuilt all our fuel lines with Aeroquipe hoses

And Wevo sent us some performance engine mounts.

Finally we slapped the engine back in and took it for a drive but not before replacing the rear anti roll bar drop links.

The result of all this effort? The engine starts easily now and goes straight to fast idle then settles down to a smooth 850 rpm. No popping and bucking anymore and it pulls a lot smoother too.

We are pleased to report that the Carrera RX is now running very well indeed and we have been enjoying the car a lot visiting several cars and coffee events including an impromtu dash 200 miles up north to vist our 83 UR Quattro build at Cherry Classic Cars after our van blew a turbo hose.

We also attended the Woodward Dream Cruise and the Detroit Car week with the car.

Meantime we fabbed up a gauge pod to house the AFR gauge connected to the wide band o2 sensor we had installed while the engine was out.

This week we are dragging the car up to Empire, Michigan where it will once again be functioning as the course opening car. Maybe see you up there?
