Built 964 Turbo Engine for my RWB Aircooled Porsche 911

I get the built 964 Turbo engine back from the engine builders & we set about chucking it back in the RWB Porsche 911 Turbo.
Originally built by Promodet in Japan, we bent a valve and decided to get Fearnsport to tear the engine down to inspect & rebuild (with a few extra modifications of course)
We have to find a solution for coil on plug, cam sensor & loads more before we actually get it back into the car.

Thanks for the kind comments everyone! This was a really difficult one to edit again, as it was filmed over many weeks during a very busy time for Driftworks. I promise I'll try and get the next one to you a little quicker.

[@mrmoss149]

Yes- more, please Sir.

[@transworld01]

I'd prefer these longer less frequent videos 👍

Nice Ferrari in the background at 1:47.

[@1994fergo]

160 amps is the minimum alternator requirement for a Australian road train rated at 90 ton. your Porsche probably passes the horsepower requirement too. looks great

[@driftworks]

Good to know! 😂

[@andyvoytko]

Good to see the desk used for the 3 R's: reading, 'riting, replacement of engine

Awesome to see you cracking on with the 964. Very small world as I built the guy who owns classic retrofits oak frame extension 😅 he was testing the aircon kit in he’s 930.

[@adamrickard1551]

Great to see the effort that has gone into getting the engine to the standard you desire (raising the bar massively). I couldn’t stretch to a 930/964 but have managed to get into a 997.2 C2S. Now for some of those works wheels! Keep up the good work!

[@Matty.Hill_87]

Think of beauty ain't it , I was trying to figure out if it was a lm or not

It looks like a monster. Something was sticking out of the bumper, air jacks connection? Man, an f40 track car build would be epic. Does life get any better?

[@fbrs9915]

@@Matty.Hill_87 somewhere in between LM and GTE spec but not built by Michelotto so technically neither

[@ArryBradbury]

Great to see this back! Love all the bespoke work going into this. Noticed there was one coil not positioned because of the frame, is that just a case of it needs plugging in first?

[@driftworks]

It is. The plug needs connecting, then it's spun into place.

[@IMTHEBIGGESTCUNT]

Great work! Awesome video! Boss creations 👍

[@driftworks]

Thank you! 👍

[@theneck5157]

Freaking love this !! I was born in 1970 and grew up loving the 911 so when I see old school Porsche being updated and upgraded I fall in love quickly… the color combo and quality of work sets this 911 apart from most custom built old 911’s .. can’t wait to see the finished product

[@boastyy]

Beautiful looking car and great attention to detail building the engine. What is most impressive is the use of the desk to support the engine when fitting, worked perfectly.😀

[@driftworks]

Cheers. That desk is one of the best additions I've ever made to the workshop. It's so useful as a project desk & heavy duty enough for an engine & box.

[@boastyy]

@@driftworks Sure is mate, good luck with the rest of the build she's a beauty.

[@loekfelten548]

I saw an electric a/c kit being installed in a 911 by Jeff (from Australia) on his KZbin channel: Home Built Jeff. It looks like at least a part of this kit also works for your car. Also the Wosp alternator, which seems an excellent choice.

[@driftworks]

Strong chance it's the same kit. I think it's used on Singers etc. I'll check the video out if I get a mo. Cheers.

[@MrManicNZ]

It is the same system that Jeff is using from Jonny Hart of Classic Retrofit. Jonny has been working on electric heating as well which he setup for his EV build however as of June 2021, any 12V heating which is built into the HVAC "suitcase" is "a long way off - perhaps years". Fingers crossed there has been some development here. I am sure Phil would love some proper heating in his part of the world! 🥶😁

[@Ricky-cl5bu]

That’s a class engine setup

[@driftworks]

Cheers 👍

[@Project-D]

It seems a properly rebuilded engine. Nice to see, is not so usual to see jobs like theese properly done. Well done man

[@driftworks]

Thanks man. Credit goes to Matt at Fearnsport for the majority of it.

[@Project-D]

@@driftworks sure, that's was clear. Between 2018/19 I was in your same position, without my mechanic and electronics men it would be only a dream to rebuild and tune my car. It was a beautiful journey of learning thanks them and now I have 8k good reasons to have fun. I wish you the best 😉 keep it up!

[@rpm427sc]

Would be interested in seeing which electric A/C + heater setup your talking about. Like to try something like that on my dry-sumped coyote powered "streetcar".

Great vid. You "Mess about" 😉 with most people's dream cars. No one can say your not brave. Kudos to jays work on it too 👍👍. I used be a Porsche 964 test driver.... cough.... So if you need any help in that department let me know

[@driftworks]

Thanks Rory, that's a pretty brave job I reckon. It definitely would be on this one. It was already terrifying 😄

[@sxrory]

@@driftworks I can handle it, I just worry the bushes can't 😁

[@pitthiessen]

Nobody talkes about the coil At 25:50? realy good work... loving it

[@driftworks]

Someone has on my IG. I wondered if it would get any questions 😂. We've made the tins around it perfectly to allow us to clip the plug onto the coilpack, then spin the coilpack to bolt it to the new boss on the rocker cover. It works perfectly and means once mounted everything looks uniform.

[@AshleyCaunt]

Can’t believe it’s taken so long for an update, anyone would think you guys had wives and kids and businesses to run or something 😂

[@MioStukern]

Fantastic content mate! I have a very similar self built 3,3 964 turbo engine in my RWB and this is both very inspiring and very helpful in solving some problems i have! 👏🏼 I’ve been using an electric scavenge pump for the turbo and it has caused headaches, so i will definately try the one you fitted here. Where do you run your return oil back into the engine?

[@driftworks]

Thanks man! I should be able to show more on that bit in the next video as I have to make new lines.

[@MioStukern]

@@driftworks Looking very much forward to it! Also, been wanting to bring the RWB to the UK this summer so would be wicked to link up then🤝

what was the cost of the rebuild?

[@ashleyevans1255]

How much was the engine rebuild. Looked like a work of art

[@benw1620]

Nice work! Can the coil packs be removed while the engine is in the car?

[@driftworks]

Cheers. They can. I tried to think about absolutely everything. (Somethings going to bite me in the ass now I've said that)

[@mrmoss149]

" Bwacket" Phil. Please use this pronunciation. Can we get " Craig- can you just .." stickers? Cheers

[@s4ms0n1t3]

I do believe alot of people who build serious track e46 m3s use that merc PAS pump also

[@driftworks]

Yep. it's pretty common in a lot of track builds 👍

[@obi-wankenobi7160]

Great and beautiful build, but what are the benefits of going to an epas system? Seems that it would be detrimental to the driving experience since the hydraulic steering is one of the best things an air cooled 911 is known for

[@driftworks]

Thanks. It's not possible to use sequential ignition / coil on plug with the hydraulic power steering. Plus there's a weight distribution advantage, although that is slight.

[@davidzwicker9988]

Thoughts on staying with single plug vs dual plug?

[@driftworks]

I don't have any idea why dual plug is a thing. It ran great on the standard single plug setup, and should work just as well or better on the coil on plug setup.

[@anidiotinaracingcar4874]

Wouldn't a 3D scan have helped with the "sealing" of the engine (for the fan)? Then 3d print molds and make the parts from composite

[@driftworks]

If you wanted to spend days and days for no significant gain you could do that. I don't have the skills or patience so standard fabrication will do me.

[@thibex2000]

What about that F40 in the background at Fearn ? Looks magnificent !

[@driftworks]

Not a bad backdrop eh! It's a GTE I think. I'm sure I'll be corrected though.

[@ChrisHanlon88]

Is there any truth to longevity using titanium retainers that they don't last as long for a road going daily compared to standard retainers. Or Is it just the usual online myths. Absolutely love this video.

[@driftworks]

I've never had a problem with them, but if I'm fitting ti retainers the car's not likely to be doing 20,000 miles a year, so I'm possibly not the guy to ask.

[@hoonaticbloggs5402]

It’s myth. I’ve never In my life heard of , or seen a worn or broken retainer

[@OTR-Raceworks]

I have seen a few sets of Supertech TI retainers wear quite badly around the edges of the retainer and where the ’pig tail’ of the spring sits. Can try and dig the pictures out if you are interested...

[@benblackwell8108]

Sorry if I'm being abit dense but why a cheaper oil for running in .

[@driftworks]

A couple of reasons. The new rings need running in, the assembly lube gets diluted into the oil, and even with the cleanest engine build in the world, there's still going to be some dirt, that this essentially allows me to wash out using cheap oil. It does no damage to bearings etc as I'm not going to be running to redline on full boost.

[@glombz_]

what's with the F40??

[@driftworks]

Fearnsport look after it along with another couple of cars.
