This LS-Swapped Porsche 911 is Everything Purists Hate About RWB | “Elrod”

Sounds ridiculous in person. Shifter feels good, just requires some patience and smooth shifting!

I think an ls swapped porsche is the most reliable porsche on the road.

[@deadred80]

Odd because I know people who own them and have never had a problem.

[@porscheoscar]

Air cooled engines require rebuilds at some number of miles. Not very practical.

[@johnnyflashtattoo]

Your cooling fans are too small. Mishimoto "Raceline" fans. 2 if them move 3600 cfm (cubic feet per minute) I upgraded from those slim fans and solved my overheating problem. I live in Florida and drive hard with ac on. You can feel the suction from the fans a foot in front of the grilles.

[@alorrick7546]

im 100% into it, ive wanted and RWB and ill get one evenutally! Which makes me INSAINLY happy to see it daily driven! my LSx powered 944 is probably the closest thing to a RWB 911 LSx i could have at this time and I LOVE EVERY SECOND!

[@alorrick7546]

fun note LSx engines do not have an issue with oiling, not one problem at all. ITS HAS to do with the geomatry of the oil pan for 911 swaps and the way the car moves and leans makes the oil go the opposite of what anything "conventional" would use. so an accusump stops the oil starvation because of "unable oil pan design" and sadly packaging. because in the 944 we hold more G's than a 911 and hotter lap times with a standard sump engines, corvettes too and sadly it really boils down to pan design and baffling which the 911 conversion pans jsut simply have not.

[@lewie]

What a fuckin car. The JPS livery accentuates the lines of the kit beautifully and menacingly. I can only imagine how much presence this car has in the metal.

[@diggernator]

What a stunning build. And a ballsey move to swap out for an LS... and a great video lead in with a very accurate synopsis of the world we appear to live in today ... I am sure Will gets a lot of please out of his fantastically conceptualised (King's English here sorry 🤣🤣) "daily" ... almost worth a trip to Vancouver (from NZ) for just a small chance of seeing this on the road 😎😎

[@petermuller161]

The swapped 911 is awesome! I would think there are some moving forces that are superior in a flat 6 are somewhat lost with a different configuration

[@SeamusMcFitz-jz9if]

The LS is a better engine anyway. Lighter and more reliable if naturally aspirated. Can make away more power also. Remember, the original engine for this car is not a Mezger, it's not a Turbo or GT car.

[@SeamusMcFitz-jz9if]

The non-GT or non-turbo engine is severely lacking in power/reliability...air cooled and all. I have a 911TT with the mezger.

[@greapsoho]

I love Porsches all around. They have amazing engineering and their flat engines are perfectly balanced with a super low center of gravity, but the size and performance-per-dollar makes wayyyyy too much sense with the LS. 911 LS swapped Porsches give the working class man hope!

[@phendrix9476]

The alum LS block is just 100lbs lighter than the truck version

[@Jay-fx4tx]

PERFECT combination! The weight difference between the porsche engine and the LS is after swap is negligable. The build cost for Porsche horsepower is ASTRONOMICAL! LS power is CHEAP. and reliability is awesome.

[@Jay-fx4tx]

😂 i totally get the "OMG....what was that?" In a full custom build. 😂

[@JUNMAGINHAWA]

This has been done already in the Philippines years before the Pandemic. Angie King's first RWB.

[@RoadsUntraveled]

Yes! There have definitely been a few before. Rutledge Wood's RWB as well comes to mind. I remember Will telling me he had many conversations with Angie during the build process whenever problems with the LS install would come up.

[@Theonewhoknocks-s4b]

Californication

[@RandyJM21]

I think every single 996 tiptronic base 911 should be used as a hot rod platform for LS based V8s / GM V8s . I drove a base 996 911 auto when they were new and it was the most dissapointing car I ever drove . So underpowered feeling and boring . But they are still 911s with some potential . The 996 TURBO was awesome . Yes , it had the cheap feeling ugly interior that lost its way but at the time it was a monster street car for turn key usable acceleration with the level of traction. Considering how hated the base 996 is and the headlights treated like some kind of birth defect that somehow destroys its look for the classic shape and how awfully underpowered they were and the tiptronic Making it feel like a 6 cyl camary when accelerating . The whole throw out bearing thing and general cost of fixing cars that suck and the ability to fit a more classic front clip with round headlights instead of the fried eggs that people are so disgusted by which Is the tiniest of problems with them as cars but unloved they seem the perfect platform to hack up and be re purposed and given some dignity by giving them some performance with a great V8 .

[@RoadsUntraveled]

I agree with the automatic 996 comments. Let's V8 swap them all.

[@cossavard]

JPS livery is TOP TIER

[@jamessellards7157]

Great intro, true words.!.!.!

[@MattsBaseballWorld]

I'm not sure if you need nuclear level audacity or ego to start drilling into a Porsche, but the results are something else.

[@PapaTroll86]

Or just a love for a car that you want to make even better? I say why not. At the end of the day it's *your* car and there's no reason to appease to anyone else who prefers just another 911 with less power and significantly less grip. It has nothing to do with ego and everything to do with personal passion. And I can tell you that this car gets me *far* more intrigued than another stock 911, especially as there was no skimping out on the build. If it were just another stock classic 911 being driven around, I probably wouldn't have clicked on the video. Seen it many, many times before. And that's coming from a fan of 911's.

[@deanm6095]

[@Bawkr]

RWB is a little too far for me but that car looks amazing. It's also small like my 74 Celica which is cool. Could have easily got into this instead if I had a slightly different path in life.

[@DeadRoman]

"It pins you back" They are running 40mph in first gear lol.

[@StephenWhite55]

"A dry sump is wildly impractical for the street..." Huh? Tell that to every 911 owner in the world (at least before 1990, or so...)!

[@RoadsUntraveled]

Yes haha. I was mostly pointing to an aftermarket system being a huge cost (like Elvis mentioned), but also the complexity of adding additional components and of course the maintenance that comes with it. For most street cars that aren't insanely fast or capable, it's probably more of a headache than it's worth.

[@slickedrightback]

Is this lighter than the original? Surely the centre of gravity is much higher, which would matter on a circuit....

[@staLkerhu]

And? Are you aiming for track records?

[@slickedrightback]

@staLkerhu No, but the driving experience wouldn't be as good, exciting etc. ...

[@staLkerhu]

@@slickedrightback based on what they said it does not seem like the case...

[@slickedrightback]

@staLkerhu they commented on it understeering and being totally planted at the rear. This would imply extra or excess weight at the rear, the original would keep you on your toes in said driving conditions, being fun , exciting and a true drivers car.

[@RoadsUntraveled]

The engine itself is probably similar in weight, if not a little lighter than the original. But of course the wheels and additional body work don't help the cause

[@airshowman]

Is there a way I can get any information on the exhaust design. I have a 1978 930 with race prepped LS-7. Looking for a quieter exhaust system similar to this car.

[@edbowejr6130]

Needs more cross sectional area on the intake side of the radiator, it’s suffocating for air

[@edbowejr6130]

Also, more air passing thru the engine bay with allow the stored heat to be extracted and provide less of a load on the existing cooling system

[@thericbrown6969]

You did a review in the past of a 944 LS3. How would you compare the two from a drivability standpoint.
