| Post subject: | 930 turbo engine project |
Hi all, I have a lovely 930 which is a bit of a restoration project of mine...and finally come to start work on the engine. It runs ok, but just a bit smoky! Have had a compression check done and it's fine in that regard, so don't think there's significant wear on the engine. It's done about 65000 miles so also not a real high mileage car. I've taken it to my local Porsche specialist garage and they are suggesting it has a full engine re-build...and asking for an eye watering amount of money just to strip it down and re-build...and that's before the cost of parts come into the equation! Can anyone suggest a reputable garage/person who can take a look for a second opinion, maybe also strip down and re-build a 930 turbo engine in the SE/Sussex area? Am happy to spread the net farther if necessary, just looking for the right guy/gal to help out. Any help & recommendations would be very much appreciated. |

Not sure of cost but I'd suggest Barry or Chris at Brooklands Kent in Swanley. They do some really high end rebuilds, not just Porsche but Ferrari as well. https://www.brooklandskent.co.uk/ |

Have you thought to check if it’s an issue with the seals on the turbocharger itself that are causing the problem? |
