Porsche 930 Turbo S update; We put it on the dyno to find out just how much power it really has

After the trip to Spain, my tweaked 'Sonderwunsch' Porsche 930 Turbo S was fully run in and once Jaz Porsche had completed its first service, I took it to Lichfield Motors where they put it on the dyno to see how powel it really produces.

Don't ever be concerned with being geeky. Pretty sure that's part of what most of us are here for!

I certainly am. 👍

[@garethrees6743]

Correct

[@klasseact6663]

Amen💯

[@richk7416]

Agreed. Love that Harry uses scales to weigh cars!

[@kfyork]

Precisely!

[@geoffnorton9279]

Arguably, one of the best looking 911's of all time.

[@barryvyner1161]

You have brought him up well!

[@Boric78]

Sunday is best day.

[@brendanmoran397]

Lol. I was brushing my teeth this morning and I thought to myself “oh boy there’ll be a Harry’s Garage video today!” Harry is the man!

[@luketaplin42]

Don’t forget Harry’s Farm that’s good too👍

[@GM-fh5jp]

Not to mention an episode from Iain at Tyrell's Classic Workshop! What a good end to the weekend :)

[@G.D.goodwill]

The reason for the low MPG is so funny and unique, it just adds to the quirks and loves on this car. Great content as always, cheers.

[@WorldwideDarts]

Wow! 391hp with a car that light! I would LOVE to be able to drive something like that for a day. Incredible machine!

Did you see how quickly it revs! Fantastic car👍

Here we are 30 years later and modern technology has brought us identical weight sports car from Gazoo "RACING" with... wait for it... 228BHP!! It never trickles down for the blue collar worker. Only the rich "deserve" real sports cars even 30 years later.

Cracking car and history. Never realised Litchfield was that busy a place so must be doing something right.

[@GazzaView123]

@@integralevideo Utter rubbish.

[@odl21]

Yeah - marketing

[@WestfieldFreshAir]

Yes, crazy busy. I was shocked at number of ramps and cars there.

[@markymarkreviews]

Had my Ariel Atom serviced there a couple of times as the Ariel factory were quoting several months waiting times (pre-pandemic) and always found them excellent and competitive on pricing. Lots of interesting exotics (including supercars etc,not just Nissan GTRs) to go and browse around while you wait for your car to be done. MM

[@Flying_GC]

To be honest based on the results they get from GTRs compared to the rest of the world their work is pretty average.

[@arthurdardalis]

Great video Harry, regarding the speedo, I think it would be difficult for anyone to ever assume that this modification had been carried out. As an ex-Porsche tech, I would advise to fit a cover of that “brilliant idea” of the three uncovered fuses in the rear left of the engine bay. There isn’t a Porsche cover but I recall they are available from several Porsche specialists in Germany. There is also a cover for the relay board, another Porsche “brilliant idea”. There are numerous “brilliant ideas” on the 930, it’s just amazing that within its 15 year lifespan, they were never rectified, as virtually all could have been done at zero cost (the car was expensive enough…) They range from electrical items in the line of fire from road spray, to the atrociously designed fuse box under the front bonnet

[@paulmcgee1867]

Until flashed on the motorway due to false assumptions regarding speed calculations

[@hugolafhugolaf]

My 2016 Ford Transit has taken over as king of shitty designs.

[@deadmarch101]

A gorgeous Porsche, a load of GT-Rs and Billy Idol on the stereo. That’s the recipe for a good day.

[@RtB68]

If anyone else in the celebrity world owned this car I'd hate them for it - but the thing I like about Harry is the idea that I could be there with him and loving it together. He's like my Dad, but with a love of cars as big as my own. No envy at all. Well, maybe a little bit... lol.

[@SilentRacer911]

Finally!! I’ve been waiting for this follow-up on this and your doing everything I wished, mainly dyno and explanation of the 11 mpg, which really annoyed me

[@ccjelley2390]

I'd have thought the figures on Harry's paper maps vs the odometer reading in Spain might have given the game away much earlier?

[@jibbyjabby7499]

Don't know if it's just me but i love how Porsche's hunker down at the rear when giving it full send.

[@joem1256]

I read recently that the 78 930 was tested by a US magazine when new. The numbers they got were over 250 HP AT THE REAR WHEELS. Even accounting for less loss because its an aircooled rear engine car, (no water pump or driveshaft) that is impressive considering the factory claimed power for the US model was 265 HP MOL. But this would probably not be the first or last time that Porsche was "conservative" in their claims.

[@timc5969]

Your Spanish trip video inspired me Harry and I’d like to thank you. I’ve been driving around Spain and Portugal for the past week, aided by the Michelin map you recommended and enjoying the scenic routes through national parks and gorgeous countryside. I also took a ferry across the Bay of Biscay, Plymouth to Santander, and I’ll be staying a night in a Parador hotel as recommended by you. The roads here are glorious and as you reported they’re so much quieter than UK roads that one can really enjoy the drive rather than always feeling hemmed in by other traffic. Once again, many thanks for the inspiration.

[@jaspal666]

This car could make 100hp and I’d still drive this car. Such a beautiful machine!

[@gordonsimpson3235]

What a car (you have been maligning) Harry! Very special and an even better buy than you initially thought. Brave of you to admit this faux pas, but a relief at the same time. I love this car, a worthy addition to the garage.

[@InstrumentAaa]

Love the miles per gallon mistake! Love it to see that even the pro’s can make these human kind of mistakes, thank you for your honesty Harry, great video as always!

[@Surestick88]

I think what makes Harry's Garage and Ian Tyrrell's videos so watcheable for enthusiasts is they're the embodiment of what Walter Rohrl meant when he said "You can't treat a car like a human being - a car needs love".

[@NormMarquardson]

Thank you Harry for sharing the fun and the journey with us all. Very well done, as always.

[@manfredschmalbach9023]

The standard Porsche 930 cam timing's like the same they'd fit to Your lawn mower...." Incredibly geeky? Of course! And that's why I am here. Proper petrol-head content brought to me in proper British understatement-style. It doesn't get better than that, does it? Oh sometimes it does ..... discussing gearbox-damage or Espada engines with another classic British gentleman comes to mind. Thank You for "incredibly geeky" in "Harry's Garage", Sir. And by the way, thank You for convincing Ian Tyrell to start his own KZbin channel.

[@MickyOTW]

Its pretty much perfect - well done Harry

[@monzadh]

I must say Harry ive been watching your content for a while and very much enjoy each video but this is my favorite by far. The update on such a gorgeous 911, the Litchfield tour and then the MPG story...i cracked up laughing in the km vs mile discrepancy source....please never stop behing the most humble and knowledgeable auto journo in the planet....

Thanks so much Mr.Metcalfe for sharing this video and the previous two videos about this very unique Porsche.
