This upgrade included extensive modifications to boost performance, which limits turbo lag and makes the 930 a much more drivable car throughout. The work performed by Protomotive included the following items:
-Raceware head studs and rod bolts
-Motronic wiring w/ Stage 2 Motronic intercooler
-Garrett GT35R turbocharger
-Upgraded clutch
-Complete stainless exhaust system including headers & muffler
-G50 5-Speed gearbox
-Rated at 425hp. 0-60 MPH in 4.1 seconds
Please Note: This 930 retains its matching-numbers engine. However, the matching-numbers gearbox was removed when the G50 replacement was installed.
Other modifications on this 930 include full coil-over suspension, Speedline wheels, yellow fog lights, and a 3.8 RS steering wheel. The work performed by Protomotive is outstanding. The combination of the parts chosen for the build creates a swift yet linear experience, which is an unusual characteristic for a 930. The Garrett turbocharger is substantially more efficient than the original. The Turbo begins to spool at 1500 RPM and is on a full 0.7 bar boost by 3000RPM. It makes the car much more predictable to drive. The added G50 5-speed gearbox is also excellent with slightly shorter ratios, which creates a more engaging experience than the stock original.
This build has 20,000 miles on it since completion and performs like new. Cosmetically, the car is in very presentable condition. Its been driven and enjoyed, which has resulted in some light rock chips on the hood. There was more significant rock chipping on the rocker moldings, which we elected to fix when the car arrived. This 930 is a driver-focused Porsche that was built for maximum driving enjoyment.
If you are in the market for an outstanding 930 that is far better to drive than a stock original, this is a must consider example. Also, because it is modified, it is substantially more affordable than a stock example, which makes it the ultimate bargain for someone looking to enjoy their Porsche to the fullest!
