Saving a Porsche. Vr6 Turbo power

[StayONE]

This was an awesome build to read.
What a cool car you have!

thanks. anyone have experience with lightweight batteries? looking for a smaller/lighter solution to relocate the battery

If you want to just buy one, Deka batteries are good way to go.

Or, you could build your own mini battery.

I only need a battery with 4 of the A123 cells to start my 600cc bike.

yeah i think i might go with the deka 12lb battery after researching on vortex

We use Deka batteries for alot of our builds. Not a bad choice

[bradp@adaptecspeedware]

started in the direction of adding lightness. first the knee bar. 10lbs gone and bonus knee room.

tiding up the wiring. going to add the rennline dash cover to clean it up after its all tucked up in there.


also 9lbs gone removing the wipers. rain-x has worked flawlessly so i'll stick with it.



with the deka battery thats 48lbs off the front of the car

[bradp@adaptecspeedware]

Had this made from haggard fab. not sure where i'll mount it. i was thinking pass side tunnel but might delete the center console and mount it in the middle

[bradp@adaptecspeedware]

With wanting to go back and clean it up i started with the alternator tonight. those little metal clips are a bitch to get off.








these 4 screws were also a bitch. i love when new tools come in handy


needs some powdercoat now.

This is damn pretty. I cant wait to see more updates.

[aljonizle]

damn that thing is looking good! keen for more updates!

[bradp@adaptecspeedware]

thanks guys. today i cleaned up more wiring and found a spot for the new battery. just need to mount it down



also added a battery cut off and a obd port

[bradp@adaptecspeedware]

started working on a air scoop to try and maximize the collected air. not sure if im going to do it in aluminum or fiberglass.

[GTOguy]

I saw you on the highway downtown the other day lol.

[bradp@adaptecspeedware]

was never happy with the look of the dash plate so made a new one that flows around the steering column. the last one so short that it left part of the old dash exposed on the bottom. looked like ass. i also bought a factory speed sensor so hopefully i can get a working speedo soon

[bradp@adaptecspeedware]

i had a hole in the console where some stock switches go so i decided to make a plate to hold my boost gauge. cut and shaped some aluminum


air nibbler took a shit so i had to do this to get my gauge hole





wrapped in some carbon for now. im going to fiberglass it in before i send it off to loves trim to get it to match rest of interior.
