You're a brave man to take that project on. Any idea where that rusty car came from?I'm amazed people are buying certain old Porsches. Back in the day people stayed away from certain models. Apparently they are all valuable now.

Sounds mean.

The carbon fiber roof is going to look great. Why you would do it so early in the restoration of the body?

You could have just clamped straight edge on the bandsaw table

Subaru EZ30R runs at high oil pressure, your best bet to reduce the oil going into the turbo, and blow by, is get a Oil Pressure Regulator and set it at 44.5-45PSI for the turbo oil feed lines if you haven't already. Common practice for us Aussies with Turbo EZ30s xD

back when I had a subaru STI, i fixed the fins in the intercooler with a pair of tweezer. it was tedius and i swore I'd never do it again. But it worked and the intercooler looked much better and I'm sure it flowed air better. I had to fix about 70% of my fins. yours doesn't look too bad so it won't be nearly as bad as what i had to deal with.

I was wondering where that adapter kit ended up. Never heard anything from Matt after I sold it to him. I know this video is 3 years ago, but CZcams just now threw this in my algorithm. I could have saved you a lot of time if I had known.

Excellent build dude. I'm swapping an EZ30R into my BRZ as we speak. Hope the build turned out great!

I want to put this engine in my 914GT

Dude!!! You can’t sell the Gray Ghost’s engine!! 😭

You are kidding your viewers, not very fine

Awesome channel, I’ve been following you for years. Thank you for including your mistakes in the video, super helpful

Clamp that piece of wood (at least it looks like a piece of wood) to the bandsaw table as a fence to guide the aluminium sheet rather than free-handing it. Someone else also advised that a table saw with a regular wood-ripping blade would work well.

Excellent progress Michael, I really look forward to your videos - cant wait to see the finished car, no matter how long it takes - 4 years is nothing 🙂

👏🍺👍🏻

Nice job Michael. Cut some cardboard templates and tape them to the intercooler fins to protect them whilst working on it. 👌🏾

Greate work Michael! High five from Stockholm

Why don’t you just design it in CAD and get it laser cut from Send Cut Send ? It’s ridiculous cheap, like about same price as buying raw aluminum sheet .

Top work Michael! High five from the UK.

Its a good day when the is a Rennch video notification

4 years is nothing!! I’m in my eighth year….money/freetime/motivation are always factors keep going we will get there in the end

If you need to rip aluminum plate just use woodworking tools. Regular tablesaw would make those cuts easy and accurately.

Allright... As I inch closer to my SC 3.0 rebuild, I have to ask about the 993 motor.

Great video, great work on the entire blasphemy build. What is your plan for an engine on the Gray Ghost? Sold my 83SC with a 993 Varioram, and hate myself for that.

this is way cool dude! you need to finish and take it for a drive. if you leave paper towels in the intake, you can drive it without the intercooler.

Nice!

Great work Michael

Just found the page a day ago and absolutely love the vids, keep up the amazing work!

Keep cranking man, you will get there

First one here?

Michael Michael Michael......we don't need to say it do we. But sounds AWWWEESOME with a capital O PS: Whos the cute blonde ;-)

its a mini green hulk sporting ketamine and ozempic !! 😆 the ez30r puts glue down in low rpms too

This has to be the longest running restoration ever! Years down the track it's still not finished!

"In case you guys ever have to do anything like this"...exactly my case. Dusted off this episode to fit a fiberglass front spoiler to my '78 Champagne Edition Scirocco. Side aft portion was too long so your technique was exactly what I needed. Thank you!

I waited for this video for years. I remember I saw a post from you a long time ago on FB, I asked why someone would want to put a Subaru engine on a porch, you sent me to watch your video on CZcams. And here we are. Congratulations. Now I can't wait to see that tuned and rolling.

Keep at it Mike - every failure is a lesson (don't you hate hearing that) and you learn by it.

GO MICHAEL - love all your work! This is fun #101

Dude, FUCK yeah. That thing sounds immense. I love it. Gonna have power for days too.

Allah be praised 🎉

Good job, your skills are envoyious 🎉

Dude get in touch with @FicarraClassic he needs something for his Porsche Limo

Great work Michael, keep it up nearly there, jimbo from Australia

hair dryer makes the pleats crooked 😬

Looks and sounds sick mate. Congrats on the progress and sharing your build with us! Did one of the turbos suck one in? i was waiting for something to appear from out of shot, and get sucked in. I was one of the first to do a registered wrx beetle after only doing big aircooled motors. I fully understand how much thought, engineering and time is spent as you progress from one idea or solution to a better one, then finding your self back at the first design, as it was the optimal one from the beginning. Next thing for me, was reverse engineering the design, so you can access all bolts and serviceable parts. You shouldn't have to pull half the car apart to change the plugs, or get to a hose clamp that you put on the wrong way for future access.

Awesome! Cheers bud!

Mike, that sounds fu**ing BADASS! Congratulations man!!!!!! Very inspring video, I bet you're well pleased with this milestone!! It sounds ridiculous and so funny tohear the same starter as i have on my 22 year old outback R. HILARIOUS!!!! So cool man!!!!!!!!

Sounds beautiful! That will be amazing in a tunnel at WFO!

Very nice carbon fiber roof.

This engine is amazing
