Today we tackle getting the 944 Turbo running once again. I purchased this 6 or 7 years ago and after some oil smoke coming from the exhaust I parked it 5 years ago. After selling our commercial shop I ended up having to trailer it to the ranch and it was sitting in the yard, time to change that.
It is lightly modified with a larger turbocharger, custom built stainless tubular exhaust manifold, 3" exhaust, larger fuel injectors, mass air flow conversion. Also has a Broadfoot widebody flare kit and 17" CCW Classic wheels. - Auta a dopravní prostředky
This inspired me to get my turbo back on the road
Hope you have fun with it!
Love it Joe!
Happy to have this thing going again, forgot how neat it was.
Your 944 has a nice stance and sounds great! I am much older than you and I still like the rumble your vehicle makes. I love the deep rumble of V8's with non-stock exhausts. I hope you sort the oil leak and that it is the turbo and not an internal engine issue.
Should be the turbo, if I remember correctly I have some oil in the charge pipes. I did a leak down on it back in the day and it was good then. This is my one “fast” toy around anymore so kind of exciting to drive it again.
Man after my own heart with those Disco’s and transaxles Porsche’s. When will you be able to get around to the g4 or is that a long ways aaway?
Love me some transaxle Porsche's as well. The G4 should see some work soon, just was a little chaotic with moving out of the shop and what not. I think Ted is going to pull the silver panels off soon so I can paint the back side of them than I can ship it off to paint.
It’s funny how you miss the things that aren’t available eg hoist. Going old school in the dirt and sun with a floor jack does motivate one to get back under a car in a shed.
Yes, it is hard for me to remember a time when I didn’t have at least one lift around. But the initial 2-3 years at my first shop I didn’t have a hoist. I’m just spoiled now. But I also need to drop the mindset of peak efficiency/vehicle turnover. I can take my time and relax a bit now instead of trying to move a certain number of customer cars through the shop. Definitely will be nice having the new garage up and back to some luxuries though.

It might not be your turbo it might be the crankcase ventilation pressure line that comes from your oil air separator into the j boot I'll bet if you ran a catch can that smoking would go away
Worth a shot. I’ll have to look at how it’s all run in the morning. I honestly can’t remember since it has the mass air flow sensor and a different intake pipe because of that.
@@LostCauseRanch in order to re route the cvp tubes you have to remove your intake manifold
I remember that part of it. The definitely have a lot of hoses going on with these.
@@LostCauseRanch my Turbo has the same problem so I ordered a new set of lines from Lindsey racing all the crankcase
Ve ntilation tubes I just haven't put them on yet
@@christophersmithsonian3350 That will be nice to have a fresh setup in there. If the turbo on mine ends up being good I would still like to find a new engine management setup. Right now it’s just running an old mafcom piggyback if I remember correctly.
