Turbo Conversion.
This cars life began as a stock 1985 Porches Carrera. Before Injection Labs received the project the client had converted it himself to a 3.5 liter engine. Runnig with the 3.5L engine is how I always expect a factory version to run.
But with the factory installed 3.2L engine they just don't.
The client had done a great job, including converting his air flow meter to a mass meter. This also entails generating new chips for the computer because of the larger displacement.
What we were doing is giving him a low boost turbo conversion. This "low boost" version can me manufactured without a intercooler but you have to make sure it can't be turned up. This vehicle will have one. For this particular application we kept the stock headers, they work well. We fabricated the turbine intake from the stock exhaust and then the turbine exhaust to a new high flow muffler combination that exits on the right side of the car. This all has to be put together with the specific turbo that we have built. The Stock muffler location on the left side of the car takes the exhaust gased from the waste gate. Besides the fact that twin exhaust tips look great. The plan was to keep the stock ECU with the air mass meter. This brings up problems that need to be solved. IE the computer can't deal with the voltage coming out of the mass meter and it can't sufficiently fuel the engine anyway. Never mind timing. With a combination of a "black box" programmer between the mass meter and the ECU as well as burning new chips, new injectors, Injection labs turbo scavenge pump,... This upgrade is very impressive. Check out the dyno data below to get an idea of the huge torque gain. Remember this is considered low boost.
