1978 Porsche 911 "Outlaw Build"
This Outlaw Project started with a 1978 911sc that had was acquired without an engine or transmission. With the high cost-per-horsepower of Porsche motors, we decided to break form the norm and have some fun.
For this Build we are going to utilize a Turbo Honda K Motor with a Porsche 930 Transmission.
We are partnering with Chris Browning @ Crazy Steel Customs for the motor. He has developed numerous proprietary parts for these Honda Block, including Fuel Injection, manifolds, oil pans, water pumps and air filters. Chris will also facilitate the mating of the block to the transmission.
Chris is also fabrication some custom parts for our wheels, which when finished will resemble the old "Wide Five" style wheels, complete with Porsche Emblems. The wheels will be 8" rims on all four corners.
Some key features will be a power range from 400hp to 600hp via an on dash dial that will control both the turbo waste gate and max rpm.
Another cool feature will be a "Two Stage" Exhaust. This will be similar to C6 Corvettes in that it will have a nice sound at low RPM, then open up to louder note upon a given RPM signal. This will be possible using a electrically operated exhaust valve triggered by a Window Switch.

With the motor build on the way and waiting on the tires, I built a rear spoiler. This was constructed using the "Supperleggera" style. The main form is thin walled metal tubing, the 22ga steel was formed in an English Wheel to complete shape.

The engine will have an Air to Water Intercooler on intake charge. The Heat exchanger is mounted in the front, with a reservoir in the front of the trunk. 2/3rds of the air will flow through the heat exchanger and out each side past the front fenders, and the middle 3rd will flow into the trunks and through the reservoir via 4" pipes, then out each side in front of the fenders. This will help cool the water as well. We will have gauges to monitor the water going out and coming back in.
