in fact i don't need a "SUN" machine , i can play swapping weights&springs and see with the timing light what it does on the engine .
I wanted to "test" it a bit with the degree card to be in the ball park as changing weights is a bit more work than changing jets.

and finally it runs 
on his own power again after 12 years storage....clutch & box work perfect , engine to be tuned on dyno.
mockup with the nose to measure the needed height for the alu scoops to cover the air filters.

as this one is a "real" rallycar , not street legal , i bought meanwhile a second '82 928 , which i prepared "rally" as far as i'm allowed to keep it street legal.
Biggest change were stiffer springs to get more ground clearence and swap the suspension from a '90 GT . ( Better and bigger Brembo brakes)
The car itself , as bought , was already mechanical a ideal combination for a "928" , it has a '85 16V S2 engine ( only 27k kilometers) on which they mounted the '82 K-Jetronic injection. So the most developed 16V Porsche made , but with a simple mechanical injection instead of the electronic they used at those years , which is now very expensive in parts....and complicated. Can't compare it , but many claim the K-Jetronic gives better gas response... and indeed , that car drives great . It also has the better (later) S4 transaxle , which i also replaced on the white car years ago. Happy i found such car ( in Germany ).
Nice exterior and renewed interior ... perfect for "regularity" rallies who demand "street legal". So this one is more the successor for the E9.
I mounted rally lights on a spare hood and painted as the car ... so i can swap hoods if lights are not needed and didn't damage his oem hood.

as this blue/grey one is ready for rally , i can proceed on the white one with all small things still to do.... can't go to the dyno due lockdown… which is sure another month to go.... so i test fitted a net for the helmets ( works great ! ) and finished the doors…..painted the cage which is changed according the inspection authority advise . Also mounted and connected the extra dashboard with odo, AFR , switches for the extra lights and room for the Terratrips/Blunik
o well , we have time now…..

and as i found my BMW a bit on the "light" side to pull my trailer and spare wheels /tools inside…. i bought me a VW Amarok … that will be much better… they delivered the "pickup jeep" … and we rolled in lockdown…. so i can't go tech inspection , license plate etc.. all closed.
I think a Amarok is only recently imported to the US ? …. In Europe it exists 10 years ?? drives great , i was really surprized, it's a 3L diesel V6 ( same engine as the Porsche Cayenne) . And mine is a manual
I first looked at a Ford Ranger ... but it was my son , who already test drove both , told me a Amarok drives so much better....indeed , 0-100 takes 8 sec while a Ford Ranger needs 12..13 . That's more a "truck" ...

wanted to say hello to my E9 wrenching friends !
Gray 928 is sold , i won't do regularity anymore now that the white one is finished ( in fact it never is) .
Already participated 2 rallies in the Belgian Rally Championship , without much succes, but fun .... Having problems with fouled plugs i concentraded me to long on the Webers IDA48 jetting .... while we now think the oem ignition is to weak. Changed it to a modern module and seems a lot better... problem is the car isn't street legal , so it's not that evident to test it a 100 miles...... Looking forward for the 2025 season !

Last weekend we participated the Spa rally .... was fun , but drove carefull due ice in the forrest shadows. Didn't want damage for the winter stop.
Still some tech problems , solved... hope to get it as reliable as my E9 was for years rallying !

it was indeed a weak ignition box that ruined the plugs.... with a "modern" box now it stayed running fine but AFR's not constant good. Played with jets during rally service but no real solution. Thinking further about the emulsion tubes etc... i think i found my big mistake...
The fuel bowl vents and air correctors are under the hood in the engine bay , not in the "ram" air in the airbox. That can't be good , so i made flanges/tubes bolted on the "vent " well and protruding through the hood rubber into the airbox so they see the same absolute pressure . Hope this give me more constant AFR's now !
How it was :

She’s a beauty
Are the AFR’s behaving better now with the updated hood scoop ?

Barry , not tested yet next week ....
