Rebuilding the ABANDONED Porsche 924 suspension & MORE new exhaust!
Vložit
- čas přidán 9. 09. 2024
- In part 5 of our Porsche 924 turbo build, we give the exhaust one final shot by installing a new high-flow catalytic converter and then rebuild the entire front suspension. We're so close to getting ready to start the bodywork phase of the build.
I'm in need of a few parts for this car. Email me at autoanatomy@icloud.com if you can help!
-Speedo cable from oxygen sensor counter to the gauge itself
-Front windshield
-Gas/Temp gauge (the circuit is broken for instrument lighting)
- Gauge surround
- Tan carpet kit
- Fuel sending unit
I'd love to partner with a powdercoating company to get the mesh wheels reconditioned. If you're willing, hit me up at autoanatomy@icloud.com

Going to interview some of your favorite automotive powerhouses in the next few weeks. Comment below as to who you'd like to see me interview!
enjoyed that thanks..! would have been great to have seen some of the details of the process installing new ball joints/bushings etc
Love how easy the 924 is to work on!!!
It's easy and overly complicated at the same time. Some things are super simple, but things like the clutch are a pain! Thanks for checking us out!
Some silly positioning like the secondary fuel pump for example
@@AutoAnatomy the clutch? Oh no... thats what my dad says is wrong with the 924 sitting in my grandma's woods
It’s more work than most cars to replace the clutch but not impossible. Basically it’s pulling the trans and rear end. Or I’ve heard that some just pull the engine as it’s less work!
It's getting better all the time....
Thank you! Getting ready for paint now, shouldn’t be long
try to find the "TURBO" part that goes between the break lights.
but so far so GREAT. I love the 924 Turbo.
I do have a new "924 Turbo" decal coming from Germany, should be here any day now
Auto Anatomy maybe get the euro bumpers too. They look so great on it.
They do look great, agreed
Nice work! Enjoying the series, I have a 944 and these cars are a blast to work on and fix. Cool that you visited Budget Buildz, too.
Thank you and thanks for checking out our channel! Michael is a very nice and genuine guy
i so enjoy your vids
Thank you
HI GREAT VIDEO THAMKYOU SO MUCH I HAVE A QUESTION ON MY 924 77 MY FRONT FEELS A LITTLE LOOSE I DID THE ALIGNMENT BUT I WANT TI FEEL A LITTLE MORE SOLID DO YOU THINK THAT IF I CHEANGE THE CONTROL ARMS AND BUSHINGS WILL HELP
It’s possible that the bushings would help, but only if they’re worn. I would certainly replace all of them at the same time.
@@AutoAnatomy OH OK THANKYOU SO MUCH I REALLY APPRECIATED I SEE THIS KIT FROM EURO PARTS THEY GIVE YOU THE 2 CONTROL ARMS BOL JOINTS AND ALL THE BUSHINGS i wish I can show you the pictures so can yell me what do you think
i would like to say that you know alot about 931s by now, My car had a bad fuel pump, bad wires to the starter, so i fixed and got a new fuel pump, got a new fuel pump bosch 044, got the car to crank it wud start but wudnt fire up, it wud start from the power of the starter, theres fuel on the distributor, im thinking if its timing? or compression? any advice will be of great help. There is a hole on the bell housing to see the little circle on the flywheel, i took it to top dead center and the marking on the cam gear lined up to the casing. so assumign car didnt jump timing, and the belt looks good
There’s so much that it could be. My first thought is clogged injectors. If you have spark and fuel pressure to the distributor, does fuel come out of the injector when you press on the air flap? I’d start by bypassing the fuel pump relay so it runs constantly, and then press on the air flap (at the distributor). You should hear the injectors open up, will sound like a moaning/screaming noise.
@@AutoAnatomy no, none of that at all. so you could be correct, i cleaned them however the same way you did, with air
@@AutoAnatomy I did a compression test and the compression is good on all cylinders, I have spark, i have fuel, but to me it seems like theres not enough fuel pressure, but I sprayed alot of starting fluid on the inlet manifold, Still no start, however it tries to start up after 15 seconds of cranking. Timing is good, do the injectors go bad? i cleaned them the say way you did, but it seems to me like the issue is beyond the fuel, or else it wud have started a little bit with the starting fluid.
@@rahiee The only other option I have right now is to measure how much fuel is coming out of the injectors. If you look at this video czcams.com/video/R6qcx-iNbXI/video.html at around the 5:05 mark, I show how I "flow tested" the injectors. You may want to look into doing the same. There are only a few things that it could be: If you have compression, spark, appropriate timing, and fuel it should run. You're saying that it has spark, it has good compression, and the timing is right then it can only be fuel.
After the car is done, how much hp will it be pushing out roughly? Will it be significantly more than its stock format?
I've not made any performance modifications, and from the factory I believe it was around 175 hp. Thanks for checking out the videos!

Hi Sean,
another great vid...i like the way it sounds, what brand of strut did you install? thanks, when your ready to sell that 924 , let me know. :)
Joe white They’re just stock replacement Monroe struts. If you’re interested in the car, shoot me an email at autoanatomy@icloud.com. We can work something out.
Luv your channel 924 turbos are great cars here in oztralia all the Porsche duds like to have one as part of their collection mine is great as well
Thank you very much!!
I have a shot at getting a 82 924 down here in the south... Typically the guy says it ran when parked 50k on it. Body solid.
But doesn't run as is $1,800...
Are these cars good project cars ?? I have average car skills, but hungry to learn
It depends on the amount of rust and overall condition. Is it a turbo or NA? They’re overall fairly easy to work on and reliable once all the kinks are worked out. The parts aren’t terribly expensive since they’re mostly Audi/VW bits.
@@AutoAnatomy no rust, southern car.
No turbo. I'm intrigued but the low price raises concerns....
Agreed. I found this one, looks pretty complete.

@@AutoAnatomy wow, that's 2 hrs away frome me...lol
I saw that one sold pretty quick, was it you?
lol your makeing want one
This one will be for sale soon, if interested.
i have 79 924 needs everything and i need help
I would start at 924board.org and look at the FAQs and forums. Any way I can help, please let me know
Did he just cut off a perfectly good oem sound pipe?
If you're referring to the center catalytic converter, it wasn't good. It had been modified previously and the inner pipe was rattling around inside the hollowed-out converter. I wish it had not been modified before I purchased the car, otherwise I wouldn't have touched it.
Great Job!!! Looking Forward to the new Videos!!!!!!
Thanks!!

Good video, rebuilding suspension an old car's is timing consuming but an inexpensive and simple repair that will make the car handle like new. Now start wearing gloves. Seriously. Petroleum will penetrate your skin and get into your blood. And painting without gloves is an even bigger hazard. Costco sells nitrate gloves, no excuses. .
Hey there, your car seems to have non turbo suspension! All turbos had larger vented disks all round and 5 lug hubs. I’m stumped as to why your car has NA 2.0 suspension, maybe someone downgraded it in the past? How strange
My understanding is that on the early cars ('79-'80) four lugs with disc/drums were standard and 5 lugs with 4 wheel discs was optional, but most people chose them. That's why they were standard on the later build cars. I may be wrong, but that's what I've found in my research. Thanks for checking out the channel!
Sean
Auto Anatomy I never knew that, I always thought all turbos had disks. I should know better after 7 years of 924 ownership 😂
@@willingless3389 Here's what I found from Rennlist: The standard/base brakes for the 924 are easily identified by the 4-lug bolt pattern, and the use of wheel bolts.This braking system consists of solid (non-vented) front disks, and rear drums. The upgraded brakes for the 924 are part of the M-471 option, and use vented disks all around with the more common five-lug pattern (with studs and lug nuts).
The very early 931 also used the standard/base brakes as per the 924 above. But by the 80 model year the brakes with M-471 option became standard on the 931.
Auto Anatomy great find, well you learn everyday that’s what they say. I’m excited to see where your car goes, no one else seems to be doing a turbo project on CZcams at the moment
Thanks, it’s really a fun car! Make sure to subscribe and share these videos on social media. It helps more than you know!
