Someone was questioning if this was REALLY the first 911 LS1 swap. It IS. It was first done in 1999. The car now has a larger supercharger and a forged motor.

Interesting.

Sounds like what I was thinking when I was trying to get a “Weed Eater” brand mower to start. (With a 6.5 HP B&S)

Thanks for posting.

This banter is terrific!
I have a 77 911S that couldn’t pull a greasy turd out of a … never mind. It has a 3.0 from a 79 SC which puts it about what, 180hp and the car weighs about 2800 lbs? You can do the math but it doesn’t take long to figure out that I better not mess with anything faster than a bicycle in a stoplight challenge.But I picked it up at an incredible price.
I could sell the car to one of you purist freaks ( which you wouldn’t want because it is modified to look like a 91 Turbo) and go buy a later car. But then, the insurance company will build a new wing at the main office using my premiums, not to mention the repair bills if something were to go. Hey, I ain’t loaded. Money is always an object.
What to do? Give up? Hell, no. While ya’ll were busy getting an edu-macation and subsequently getting good paying jobs, I was poking around under the hood figuring out what makes cars go. I think that fella was on to something with the Chevy engine conversion. But the supercharger is more of a gimmick than anything.
If you can keep it simple, relatively cheap, highly reliable, and just plain fun, then you’ve got something good.
That said, here is my proposal:
Weight<3000 lbs (Careful consideration of parts will keep the weight low)
Weight bias Front 62% Rear 38% with larger torsion bars
Weight to Power <8.0:1
G50 Trans ( The 915 ain’t no slick shifter)
Bigger brakes, et. al.
And lot’s of practice at the track to tune everything.

I think I can do an old-school chevy conversion using a Brodix aluminum block for about $9K. That’s about what it will cost in parts alone to rebuild my 3.0L air cool.
Bye ya’ll!

I resent these conversions. It’s an unnatural act of man that rapes the purity of the Porsche.

Cool project. Adding more power with less weight in an already light car. I am sure the ride is amazing.

It is a lot of fun to modify cars in you own garage. I do it myself. But if you do mods why not try to produce something beautiful? It is so much more rewarding and not that much more difficult.
Shinny mickey-mouse rims, awkward and oversized rear wing, ludicrous stickers all around. You can have a look at what Porsche produces if you need inspiration.
Now if you dont care about the look and you are only interested in the performances of your car, from a mechanical point of view the combination between a 30 year old 911 and a new 500+ HP engine is obviously not a wise fit
Anyway I suppose the most important is that you have fun doing that…

The idea is that the car is balanced all around, and the drive of a Porsche is an experience. I don’t like this at all. Kudos on the hard work though, but I would rather stick with stock.

I think you are thinking of a typical roots or screw style supercharger that bolts onto the manifold it appears that this is a centrifugal type supercharger which is not mounted onto the manifold but functions more similar to a turbocharger.

But I do agree with you on the z06 LS1 listing…

And that car should run the 1/4 mile quicker than 11.9 at 114… In an (I’m sure heavier) Trans-Am a similar setup should go mid-11s around 125mph.
