Ugh. Time to start up threads again though! I'm feeling the need to start one for mine. Seeing you post is motivating!

3B Swapped 90 for Sale - $6,000

I posted my 90 for sale earlier this year and ended up deciding to do some more updates. Since earlier this year I have refreshed the subframes and control arms, installed an 01E 5 speed and added a BBK using 17z calipers. I've since decided that this is a good stopping point for me and hopefully a ...

Re: WTB: Porsche #6 Hotside

Engine fires are no good (had a small one in my 90 when the 7a was still in there). Hopefully he still has it! Thanks for the tip :)

Re: VEMS and Tablets

You have the optional direct log to SD card? I don't have that option on my VEMS so I couldn't say.

Re: Nick's Black 90 - 3B Swap: Running!

I did have a turbo failure due to me having massive boost leaks among other things. Unfortunate for sure but I did make the 7 hour drive home just fine.

For now I'm putting the stock k24 back on, fixed boost leaks and will drive it. Also have the new calipers installed. The brackets will need a ...

Re: Nick's Black 90 - 3B Swap: Running!

mine is not running after shut off. not sure why either. I watch the temps after shut off and it will barely touch 112c before going back down. Right now that isn't horrible but come summer time it could be closer to 117c with outside heat happening. I'll have to pull all that stuff out anyway so ...

Re: Nick's Black 90 - 3B Swap: Running!

Thanks guys!

Yeah it feels pretty good to have it running and driving again. Still a couple things to sort out but overall really awesome.

Next is setting up the low-speed fan switch off VEMS and a manual afterrun pump switch so I can decide to run it after shut-off.

Re: Nick's Black 90 - 3B Swap: Running!

After a month of being on jack stands this little car is back on the road!

About 50 miles have been logged and so far so good. There's a couple things to address, one being the exhaust leak. That was deliberate because I don't have the skills to weld in tight areas but it's better than open ...

Re: Nick's Black 90 - 3B Swap: Reassembly has begun.

Trans, front subframe, rear exhaust section and driveline are all in. Got new rear rotors as well because one of those old ones was warped.

Hopefully things go smoothly from here on out.

Re: Nick's Black 90 - 3B Swap: Drivetrain Out

It's a B5. 034 had them on their site for around 50.00 but I didn't buy it in time. Got this one from a fellow enthusiast. Forgot to use the clutch alignment tool though so of it will come. I'll do some compare measurements for good measure (ha!) while it's out.

Re: Nick's Black 90 - 3B Swap: Drivetrain Out

I'll at least make the face of them not sticky.

This morning got up early and put the new RS4 clutch disc in. Also spent another hour cleaning the rear diff casing.

Still left to do:

- put everything back on.
