@@carolbaker5011 Porsche built great racing-engines - So What? You said it yourself - those engines are RARE. The PRODUCTION 2.7 that came installed in production 911s of that era are all JUNK - the head stud problem of those motors are MUCH WORSE (read- far MORE common) than the IMS bearing issue of the 996 drivetrain. If you don't know the massive problems of the 2.7 flat-six, please stop trying to impress me with your (limited) Porsche knowledge.
Video taught me something. Bosch Mechanical Fuel Injection. Like what is on the BMW 2002 TII - Kugelfischer Kugelfischer is the name for a mechanical fuel injection (MFI) pump. It was produced by FAG Kugelfischer and later by Robert Bosch GmbH. Derived from diesel pumps from the early 1960s, the Kugelfischer system was the most widely-adopted mechanical injection pump for performance vehicles. It was among the first units with manufacturer-customizable fuel delivery maps which used rpm, throttle position, temperature, and sometimes barometric pressure as inputs. This was accomplished mechanically, not electronically. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, it was fitted to a variety of production vehicles from BMW, Ford UK, Lancia, Peugeot, Ferrari and others. It is perhaps best known for its use by BMW in the 2000tii/2002tii (and later, the 2002 Turbo) performance sedan from 1970-1975, the 1964-1976 Porsche 911/911S/Carrera RS/RSR/Carrera MFI, and the BMW M1 Procar from 1978-1981. Due to high manufacturing cost however, it became economically undesirable with the introduction of cheaper electronic engine management systems (and continuous-injection mechanical systems) by the end of the decade. However, the Kugelfischer system continued to be used as a specialty injection pump for purpose-built race engines into the 1980s such as the 1982 Porsche 911 SC/RS. It is very much like the Spica mechanical fuel injection pump used on Alfa Romeo, which also was derived from a diesel fuel injection pump.
These magnesium case engines in 2.7 or 2.8L format run and sound like no other 911 engine. The 3L and later engines sort of hit a reset button in terms of sound and rev happiness, just not the same
Would be very interesting to know what Magnus paid for the car, and what the former owner felt like when he discovered what it was actually worth. I think Magnus would be the last guy I called if I were selling a 911, especially one that you hadn't researched the spec of.
I brought an ice green one from Munich Germany in 1982. Dave Aase of Aase Brothers Porsche Parts in Santa Ana California ended up with it. I paid $9000 American dollars for it and sold it for $16000 in Laguna Beach in 1983 after Andial did some work on the fi pump and transmission.
Thanks, that was a really great video. Audio was a perfect balance between you talking and the sound of the engine. Thanks for this :) (can we have more of these please)
When I saw the Ducati scrambler in front of the 1976 I thought it was going to be either the chase/chaser cam. (That could be a good idea to add up angles to your canyon run) Much better audio and edit than previous red Carrera video. You're awesome Magnus, thanks for sharing and keep them coming, we mere humans really appreciate them.
It was meant as a light hearted comment aimed at Magnus’s UK roots, clearly it’s not the bullring in Birmingham. What I will say is there is beauty both sides of the pond.
Thanks for sharing your cars and thoughts with us. Inspired me to do some of my own videos to share my 997 😊. Love how you build your cars for the mere fact of having fun on the road, be one with the car, be free and not worried what others think. “Pedal to the metal” and “smiles per mile” 😁. Are you going to the crest anytime soon with a meet or so? I would love to join. Happy Porsche driving!
What a video! Very nice video, it would be cool to hear Magnus talking while we is driving as well as the voice over! I am loving these videos! Thanks!
Ok, I appreciate your love of Porsche, I've always liked them as well. Time to get a haircut and shave. ? lets see what's under there. You can always grow it back.:)
Hannah is a good camera girl good job.... Smooth driving there Magnus Love that building, Larry Chen should have shot the 1st 356 outlaw Porsche he just posted , should have shot it at that building it's a " RIPE " spot for it....
The early one in the video is called Angeles Forest Highway if you wanted to know. The later road kinda looks like Little Tujunga canyon but not sure about that one. Lots of good roads around here.
3 cars on my wish list from this epic era in the middle of 'old' and 'modern': Alfa Romeo GT 105, Porsche 911, and Ferrari Dino GTS. The first is already in my garage, maybe the second comes someday, the third i'm afraid will remain a dream. i'm not rich and i consider myself very lucky everyday i get in that jewel.
I bought one in 2003, for.......£4.5k!!!!!! It was lethal, the only 911 I've ever spun, twice. I failed to see the trend when I sold it 3 months later for 8.5. A bit of research sees it currently for sale as a non running project. 35k these days is still a lot for a car that needs A LOT of work. So I ain't buying it back!
Hi Magnus, Saw you in Silverlake in Pale blue 911 a week ago. It’s looked badass. Would love to know year and model. P. S you acknowledged me with a nod.
Magnus we met at Greystone a long time ago. My question is how did you get your 76 mfi to pass emission? I have a 76 as well but it wouldn't pass when I lived there in L.A.
MFI = Mechanical Fuel Injection?..........good ol Angeles Crest.........One day I was driving up there and they were pulling one of the Hillside Strangler's victims up the steep terrain to the road...sad
Going to be 'Selling my 'Sky Blue 1981 SC..136 MILES...Just had it 'Serviced...Soon...Very Clean. GARAGE KEPT...NEVER SEEN RAIN..🚙 HOW MUCH DO U THINK I CAN 'FETCH FOR IT ? I HAVE IDEAL...Franco..
That engine sound is clinically proven to raise testosterone levels
love it .//// would dream to drive one ......
Magnus strutting in the beginning is perfect, but that car really boogies in those canyons. Awesome showing of that particular Porsches capabilities.
i owned a '76 911S many years ago; this brought back great memories, thank you.
Fun drive it felt like I was there driving on those roads! Also thanks for the history lesson on that special 911. I learned something new today! Cheers! 👍😎👍
Good looking Silver Bullit and always into an off colour lid 😎🤟🏼
Besides the Turbo this is my favorite 911 with the impact bumpers.
That engine is the masterpiece Porsche ever made!
A 2.7 engine? You're high.

This seems like a well balanced car! I drove a 76 930 with a K29 turbo, NOT a well balanced carl. But scary fast🤪
WTF with the Bus???? CGI??? Nope, I see it now down the street. Thanks for the ride. Now I want an air cooled 🤔🤔😳😳😂😂👍👍😎
Nearly ran out of superlatives on that downhill section Magnus.
Great vid interesting car keep them coming.
Brightens up my day in UK.
What a beautiful car.
Love the revs...brilliant. fun drive with a great car. Thanks for sharing.
Love these new formats of reviews, with pov shots ! 😊👍👏
That mountain drive was just flat out satisfying
I like how you give the people who work on your cars, credit for their work.
Nice car, and sounds great...
Peddling that up that road looked like an unforgettable experience. Awesome 👌
Nice that, like the headlights, cheers
Your 911 stories are great and beautiful cars in the background ... I like Your movies :)
Thanks for the all the deatils on the car! Great video 👍🏼
Nice driving as it was made for! Like the POV, and no matter what you think, he is the enthusiast subject matter expert!

At least your car went to a true enthusiast, rather than a rip off like magnus
I'm inspired. Time to spend some money on the 924s!
right now...I prefer to buy 914 or 911 singer both are cool !
Thanks, that was a really great video. Audio was a perfect balance between you talking and the sound of the engine. Thanks for this :) (can we have more of these please)

76 was a good year checkin in to that planet 😎👍
You outside the Birmingham bull ring there Magnus 😂 Car looks ace
Uk landscapes will never be as beautiful as USA
Julian TOLLEMACHE trust me mate, no one is considering the bullring beautiful...
Vic I know what the bullring is and how it looks. I’m referring to natural landscapes in my previous post.
It was meant as a light hearted comment aimed at Magnus’s UK roots, clearly it’s not the bullring in Birmingham. What I will say is there is beauty both sides of the pond.
You English stain Kevin Maguire, you smell like old rice n gone off chicken
Looks like Little Tujunga. Great road, more technical than BT or AC. Magnus, you're inspiring me to wear my Docs and try to heel/toe in them.
Love it.
Can’t wait to take my r90 out to Cali and cruise those mtn roads
Another informative great vid.
Love it.
Thumbs up to ya brother!! Be safe, drive fast!
I was waiting for this because I saw your IG post, thank you sir stay safe!
Bus rolls right by....doesn’t skip a beat.
Of course that’s the coolest background ever nice job there MW
Like your Style and the Porsche Collection🤘🏼

Wonderful job Magnus.
This dude is sooo zen!
I love it. Thanks for sharing.
Very nice. Might do myself a Hot Wheels custom of this one on a 277 model, with a few alterations.
I saw that left foot braking, a real 911 driver ;)

Noooo his hair and beard give him power and mystique like Sampson in the Bible! 👍😎👍

Wow that road is pretty deserted 👍 like to get my Caterham 7 up there 😉

Sweet car sweet road
Beautiful!
Sounds amazing

Во молодец дед, хотел бы и я себе позволить такую степень автомобильного задротсва!))))
I had a 996 that did not like mountain climbing... engine seemed to struggle. Maybe it needed more coolant ; )
one of them early mfi invented the map sensor as we know it today.. I wonder if its these models. I enjoy magnus on his porsches
True Cowboy on the old porshe
Love it👌
The Porsche 911 and the Mercedes w123 is best cars came out of Germany.
Don't forget the Porsche 356 & Mercedes Benz 124's too...
Super Magnus gruß aus Germany-Bayern 🇩🇪
I just want to know how you kept S Grand Ave so free of traffic. And only one pedestrian?? Sheesh.
Porsche forever.
You should do something with donut media
Those shoes 😂
Cool boot at 7:30
is it that much of a challenge to keep it on your side of the road?
Shocking driving. Never too late to get tuition.
hahah couldn,t catch up with the more recent model in front of you ...that,s a bit disappointing !
Nice
incredibly rare find Magnus- enjoy!
Vielen dank!

1:28 Magnus talking about the Porsche and gets photo bombed by a bus lol 😂
Magnus we met at Greystone a long time ago. My question is how did you get your 76 mfi to pass emission? I have a 76 as well but it wouldn't pass when I lived there in L.A.
Best part is when You drive. Drop the first intro
The chase was on at the end there 😁
treu ! couldn,t catch up...hahahah a bit disappointing .... you son of a gun !
MFI = Mechanical Fuel Injection?..........good ol Angeles Crest.........One day I was driving up there and they were pulling one of the Hillside Strangler's victims up the steep terrain to the road...sad
Somebody help me out. What's with the yellow headlights?
Fast viewe
So is this car a Carrera? The ‘74-‘75 2.7 MFI cars were Carrera’s.
Downtown LA also known as Mexico.
siiii
That bus was rude.
How do you compare that '76 MFI to say a '84-'86 3.2?
I’m on the hunt for air cooled project selling my Saab’s moving to Porsche.
