Porsche 930 Turbo S update; We put it on the dyno to find out just how much power it really has

- After the trip to Spain, my tweaked 'Sonderwunsch' Porsche 930 Turbo S was fully run in and once Jaz Porsche had completed its first service, I took it to Lichfield Motors where they put it on the dyno to see how powel it really produces.

Don't ever be concerned with being geeky. Pretty sure that's part of what most of us are here for!
I certainly am. 👍
Correct
Amen💯
Agreed. Love that Harry uses scales to weigh cars!
Precisely!
Arguably, one of the best looking 911's of all time.
Without a doubt. Such a beauty
Don't have to argue with me, I agree completely.
100% !
The rear picnic table looks a bit crap.
@@banjopete Nah,its forgivable to let people know what it is.A true legend👍
I love Harry's content, my 7 year old boy loves Harry's content. Who doesn't enjoy a Harry's Garage video on a Sunday!
Paint looks great.
You have brought him up well!
Sunday is best day.
Lol. I was brushing my teeth this morning and I thought to myself “oh boy there’ll be a Harry’s Garage video today!” Harry is the man!
Don’t forget Harry’s Farm that’s good too👍
Not to mention an episode from Iain at Tyrell's Classic Workshop!
What a good end to the weekend :)
The reason for the low MPG is so funny and unique, it just adds to the quirks and loves on this car.
Great content as always, cheers.
Wow! 391hp with a car that light! I would LOVE to be able to drive something like that for a day. Incredible machine!
Did you see how quickly it revs! Fantastic car👍
crank up the BOOST
@@Freimopp777 I was looking for this comment :-)
Here we are 30 years later and modern technology has brought us identical weight sports car from Gazoo "RACING" with... wait for it... 228BHP!! It never trickles down for the blue collar worker. Only the rich "deserve" real sports cars even 30 years later.
@@idokwatcher2062 Gazoo make porsche parts?
Cracking car and history. Never realised Litchfield was that busy a place so must be doing something right.
@@integralevideo Utter rubbish.
Yeah - marketing
Yes, crazy busy. I was shocked at number of ramps and cars there.
Had my Ariel Atom serviced there a couple of times as the Ariel factory were quoting several months waiting times (pre-pandemic) and always found them excellent and competitive on pricing. Lots of interesting exotics (including supercars etc,not just Nissan GTRs) to go and browse around while you wait for your car to be done. MM
To be honest based on the results they get from GTRs compared to the rest of the world their work is pretty average.
Great video Harry, regarding the speedo, I think it would be difficult for anyone to ever assume that this modification had been carried out.
As an ex-Porsche tech, I would advise to fit a cover of that “brilliant idea” of the three uncovered fuses in the rear left of the engine bay. There isn’t a Porsche cover but I recall they are available from several Porsche specialists in Germany. There is also a cover for the relay board, another Porsche “brilliant idea”.
There are numerous “brilliant ideas” on the 930, it’s just amazing that within its 15 year lifespan, they were never rectified, as virtually all could have been done at zero cost (the car was expensive enough…)
They range from electrical items in the line of fire from road spray, to the atrociously designed fuse box under the front bonnet
Until flashed on the motorway due to false assumptions regarding speed calculations
My 2016 Ford Transit has taken over as king of shitty designs.
Finally!! I’ve been waiting for this follow-up on this and your doing everything I wished, mainly dyno and explanation of the 11 mpg, which really annoyed me
I'd have thought the figures on Harry's paper maps vs the odometer reading in Spain might have given the game away much earlier?
Don't know if it's just me but i love how Porsche's hunker down at the rear when giving it full send.
A gorgeous Porsche, a load of GT-Rs and Billy Idol on the stereo. That’s the recipe for a good day.
Your Spanish trip video inspired me Harry and I’d like to thank you. I’ve been driving around Spain and Portugal for the past week, aided by the Michelin map you recommended and enjoying the scenic routes through national parks and gorgeous countryside. I also took a ferry across the Bay of Biscay, Plymouth to Santander, and I’ll be staying a night in a Parador hotel as recommended by you. The roads here are glorious and as you reported they’re so much quieter than UK roads that one can really enjoy the drive rather than always feeling hemmed in by other traffic. Once again, many thanks for the inspiration.
I read recently that the 78 930 was tested by a US magazine when new. The numbers they got were over 250 HP AT THE REAR WHEELS. Even accounting for less loss because its an aircooled rear engine car, (no water pump or driveshaft) that is impressive considering the factory claimed power for the US model was 265 HP MOL. But this would probably not be the first or last time that Porsche was "conservative" in their claims.
What a car (you have been maligning) Harry! Very special and an even better buy than you initially thought.
Brave of you to admit this faux pas, but a relief at the same time.
I love this car, a worthy addition to the garage.
Love the miles per gallon mistake! Love it to see that even the pro’s can make these human kind of mistakes, thank you for your honesty Harry, great video as always!
Thank you Harry for sharing the fun and the journey with us all. Very well done, as always.
Hi Harry,I have said previously,You are in a league of your own, Truly you are the best at presention,Personal delivery Perfection personified,As you know means can not be improved upon.
What a beauty, I had no less than a dozen posters of 930s on my walls as a kid growing up in the 80s. Fantastic video, keep them coming, we'll keep watching!
Its pretty much perfect - well done Harry
Thanks a lot for the new video Harry, you're the best! Hello from Finland!
Superb content and detail again Harry! Really enjoy the videos - this might be my favorite car in the collection!
absolutely love your enthusiasm harry! its just what life is all about....love it
I LOVE that car! How fabulous to see you have that pleasant surprise, and fall even deeper in love! Fantastic video. Thanks Harry.
What a lovely video update, always enjoyable and with the added experts that get to fettle these fantastic machines is a highlight for me . Please keep them coming.
This car could make 100hp and I’d still drive this car. Such a beautiful machine!
Good news on the MPG. Loved the Spanish trip!. I found a great vid - "Check out Why 70% of Spain is Empty" from RealLifeLore - explaining why the parts of Spain Harry went through are so empty.
If anyone else in the celebrity world owned this car I'd hate them for it - but the thing I like about Harry is the idea that I could be there with him and loving it together. He's like my Dad, but with a love of cars as big as my own. No envy at all. Well, maybe a little bit... lol.
What a fantastic video, thanks Harry. I'm so glad your mpg isn't as bad as you thought.
Congrats on getting such a special car, it is a real beauty.
Great to see you're having fun with this car, Harry. I am owning the "twin" of it... at least engine wise... for 22 years now and can therefore relate to your enthusiasm very well.
Beautiful car and very interesting history behind it! Thank you Harry for sharing, as always.
Brilliant Harry , I look forward to a Sunday evening to watch your stuff. Had a 964 celebration a few years ago and unfortunately let it go .a Porsche is a special car and the one you have looks and sounds amazing
Great one Harry. Your enthusiasm is contagious. Enjoy in health and thanks for sharing with the rest of us, very inspiring.
Harry’s Garage. Pretty much all we watch now. Keep them coming. 🇨🇦
Keep it up, love your footage!
Thank you, Harry. Looks beautiful, sounds beautiful and goes well. Incredible performance hike without any increase in stress. As for being a bit of a plonker? Well, you can't get everything right! But you certainly got a result with this one! ENJOY!
I love this car! My personal favourite in Harry's Garage and i've never been bothered for 930 Turbo's previously.
What a fabulous update, got to be be one of my favorites in your collection.
Possibly my favourite car in the garage.
This level of geeky detail is why this is the best motorcar channel on CZcams...
Great that the mysteries of this car are now revealed and good to see that you instincts for great engineering were spot on!
Oh dear! Another 'absolute keeper' in the collection!
I feel a day of reckoning may be coming for the 'one-in one-out' policy!
What a car! What a shop! What a video! What a life! Thanks Harry for taking us along for the ride.
Fab 930 Turbo S, must be one of the best ones on the planet. Love the colour and the spec! Great video as always. Thanks Harry!
Thanks so much Mr.Metcalfe for sharing this video and the previous two videos about this very unique Porsche. It has been most fun to watch you discovering more and more about this special car's history. Seeing it in use traveling into Spain and bringing such excitement to you rather than used as a display only is wonderful! 👍
I must say Harry ive been watching your content for a while and very much enjoy each video but this is my favorite by far. The update on such a gorgeous 911, the Litchfield tour and then the MPG story...i cracked up laughing in the km vs mile discrepancy source....please never stop behing the most humble and knowledgeable auto journo in the planet....
Always enjoying the channel 🔥🔥🔥
Love the nerdy details! Thanks Harry
Absolutely loved this video and information. What an amazing car.
What a beauty! One of my favourites from your collection Harry. Fantastic!
Thank you & wonderful shot on the motorway
Brilliant! Thank you for the update.
I love all the classics you bring on the channel but I am in love with this one the modern wheels give it the modern touch make it truly stand out absolutely gorgeous car
Love the MPG story, what a great car thanks for sharing all these details can tell you really enjoy it. 👍
My favourite in your collection. Fabulous
Great video. I have just enough knowledge to understand the bit of technical talk and it didn’t get bogged down in the numbers. Crazy story about speedo vs odometer readings. Never would have thought.
Really looking forward to the Lancia video.
Sunday late afternoon and watching Harry. Brilliant and that 930 turbo, What a car.
That’s a keeper for sure
One of my favourite all time cars such a beautiful car to look at ❤️
Love these update videos. What a fantastic car with tasteful mods.
Another fantastic installment! Watching this just down the road from Weissach, which is fitting. What a great 930 you have - must be just about the perfect road spec, all the mods combining harmoniously to make a car improved in every way.
Just wonderful!
Fantastic! I could listen to you all day Harry!!
Love these catch up videos.
Brilliant video and beautiful Porsche 😍 Thank you for the Litchfield tour
One of my fave cars on planet earth Harry. My word yours is so special with the engine mods. She could not be in better hands. Wonderful video.Thanks for sharing.
Marvelous content, thank you Harry.
Lovely sound from the exhaust!
Thank you for the update on the car.
Great video as always
This is my fave of all your collection. 👌👌
Great video Harry
What a huge relief on the mpg!👍
Great video Harry as always 👍🏽👌🏾
I feel like a kid has just been on the best field trip ever. Love visiting the Litchfield shop. It’s magnificent. Thanks again Harry for another winner.
Loverly and looks great what a 930 turbo S.....!! nice to check out background and data get all right in the end....enjoy this Porsche Harry lucky you!
That’s a very special piece, Harry. Can’t wait for more content on it. Glad you’re planning to keep it. Definitely the right caretaker.
Harry a lot of us enjoyed your trip to Spain 🇪🇸 in the Porsche. A very interesting update this, of a beautiful looking car with excellent performance.
I think what makes Harry's Garage and Ian Tyrrell's videos so watcheable for enthusiasts is they're the embodiment of what Walter Rohrl meant when he said "You can't treat a car like a human being - a car needs love".
Building the anticipation for the dyno results... Well done. (as usual)
I am so happy for you Harry cause that is a beautiful motor....
Keep them videos coming Harry !
Great video, love this era of porsches. Glad you got it sorted out and figured out what was going on with the MPG, felt like something must have been wrong glad to find out its just the dials haha.
Fabulous car and fascinating film as always!
I covet this car even more now. An absolute beauty.
Me too. It’s intensely desirable.
I absolutely loved this video, and the detail is just up my street!
Thank you for sharing your luck with us on youtube Harry!
Thanks Harry, enjoyed that !
Absolutely lovely! Enjoy in good health!
I watched this video with some ambient 1980's style synthwave tunes in the background. So good.
What a hilarious story regarding the fuel economy issue. Proves that every the brightest of car minds can be occasionally fooled. Thoroughly enjoy your videos
I have watched many of Harry's videos. This is the first car I actually want.
In that last shot of the car accelerating away, the exhaust sound was great. To my ear, it sounds more like a race car than a road car. You can tell right away that there is a lot of fun to be had with that car.
Beautiful car, Thank you for sharing.
Love a bit of Harry’s Garage. 👍
That was a great video Harry!
Wow! What a lovely surprise update. A special 930 indeed ♠️
The standard Porsche 930 cam timing's like the same they'd fit to Your lawn mower...."
Incredibly geeky? Of course! And that's why I am here. Proper petrol-head content brought to me in proper British understatement-style. It doesn't get better than that, does it?
Oh sometimes it does ..... discussing gearbox-damage or Espada engines with another classic British gentleman comes to mind.
Thank You for "incredibly geeky" in "Harry's Garage", Sir.
And by the way, thank You for convincing Ian Tyrell to start his own CZcams channel.
Fantastic video! Loved the details.
The best engine mods you can do with a 930 engine is a Porsche 3.6 crank (to make a 3.45 engine, with correct Mahle pistons), twin-plugged heads, GT2 cams, matched ball-bearing turbo and a Motec or similar engine management system. Hand-fabbed exhaust. Individual throttle bodies if you are a true nut. I've done all but the last. 512 hp/467 ft-lbs to the wheels at 1.0 bar on pump gas. With a bunch of supporting tranny, clutch, brake and suspension mods. These cars are real platforms for stupid power on a light body, but handle with care. You can tell by Harry's voice how much he digs the raw, analog feel of this car...
I am running a similar setup that you have Chris at TurboKraft built my motor but running on E85 with MotecM130, I think we ran 621@1bar543ftlbs with a Arizona out side temp @110f so not excactly cool Temps like these old girls like.Are you on Pelican?
@@kevinbodman1011 I remember Chris. He was at the shop where I got my car built, then left for TurboKraft, as I recall. My builder was Bob Holcombe. When I knew Chris, he wasn't yet a grease monkey, more of a supervisor/customer interface kind of dude. Nice guy, though, a definite enthusiast. I'm not on Pelican anymore. I had kids, and now my track days are pretty scarce...., and this car as built is not a daily-type automobile...
great video love these updates
Double mpg with no mods...epic ...see if in doubt go flat out. Always..
Sweet ride. Thanks for sharing ..👍
Beautiful car my man!!! Sent this to my brother after he saw a 1987 911 targa in my shop same color I was doing work on. It has a built motor as well, I really love these cars and they're a privilege to drive and work on! I thoroughly enjoyed your video, you won my subscription, I'll be following your adventures from here on out! Cheers from Texas!
Magnificent. Thank you.
Nice addition to the collection Harry! She’s a beast
God I love this stuff Harry!
