Greeny924 Posted 1April, 2019 Report Share Posted 1April, 2019 I have been slowly rebuilding the original engine I blew on my 1981 924 Turbo, over past 5-6 years. It is Australian delivered, all matching numbers, very good condition body (origional paint) and interior ( pin stripe). After a full rebuild and then Hartech Auto doing work on the ring gear and cold start valve, vacuum system the engine is running rich and I have run out of patience and money to complete it. It starts and runs, but as I said running rough as possibly mechanical injection system, or vacuum system or...?? Has been fitted with Mercedes fuel distributor by rebuild mechanic - which may be the cause of the woes ( I have origional Porsche fuel distributor still). I am not overly mechanically minded and have spent as much as the good lady will allow, so I am looking to sell this as a nearly complete project rather than "needs a tune". Hopefully honesty pays - it hasn't so far. Car has been garaged for 6 years and has about 120k on the car but only about 20 kilometres on the new engine. Origional sun roof leather bag, origional owners manual with services recorded from Hamiltons Sth Yarra. Great car and reluctant to part with it. Price is very low for this model in this condition, so please genuine enquiries only Too much work and extras to write on here. Many pics and specs can be provided if interested.

Greeny924 Posted 2April, 2019 Author Report Share Posted 2April, 2019 FYI I have had a firm offer of 11k, so at this stage it appears it is sold. Will keep forum updated. Rod C and 3legs 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greeny924 Posted 9April, 2019 Author Report Share Posted 9April, 2019 Due to non payment from supposed buyer, the vehicle is up for grabs still and am happy to provide pics or inspections if genuinely interested Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a239947 Posted 11April, 2019 Report Share Posted 11April, 2019 too bad I dont live near you. I'd love to come round and try to get it running. Sounds like it is most likely your fuel dizzy. Good luck with the sale. I'd certainly buy it if I was in the position too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are several places you could get parts depending on how quickly and how much you wish to pay Local, could try your Porsche dealer, or BWA or Autohaus (both Sydney) or from Pelican Parts (or the like in the US). good luck!

Hi Ant, That hose is difficult to get, it was the only hose I didn't replace in 2018. However earlier this year I purchased one, I'm sure it was from design 911. Tried logging into my design 911 history however it wasn't playing the game. Worth have a better look there, if you can't find something let me know and I'll dig a little more.

brian in buddina Posted 7August, 2020 Report Share Posted 7August, 2020 show a photo of your hose or the Katalogue diagram. I have just replaced a couple short heater hoses for my 944. Took the original to Super Cheap and bought bog standard with the closest inside diameters & shape and cut down to length. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ant924t Posted 25August, 2020 Report Share Posted 25August, 2020 Hi Brian, 36 - 477 819 723 37 - 477 819 725 The same part numbers that use an "A" at the end are from the newer HVAC system and those hoses are different Hey Bear, Design 911 only have the A's Cheers A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian in buddina Posted 26August, 2020 Report Share Posted 26August, 2020 My replacement hoses were simple elbows that I cut down from standard hoses. I am sure someone on the forum will suggest a way of piecing together your shape, length & diameter out of multiple available hoses. You may jusy need to sleeve your pieces together. Good luck.

Lucky Phil Posted 26August, 2020 Report Share Posted 26August, 2020 Also for spares try https://www.porschepartsbyjeff.com/. Jeff is always saying give it a go, so if you now have part numbers give it a try. @Jeff would also be interested in the feedback I bet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ant924t Posted 29August, 2020 Report Share Posted 29August, 2020 I ended up getting similar hoses from Super cheap and used a brass elbow to get the tight radius on the smaller hose Thanks for the help brian in buddina 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
