Today I mount the twin ebay turbos in the Subaru EZ30R Powered Porsche. This Porsche engine swap is going very well, and it’s cool to get this visual finally done!

This is a Porsche 911 restoration that was abandoned in 1994 after being converted to a race car. My plan is a twin turbo Subaru EZ30 porsche engine swap with 400+ HP to the wheels. Stay tuned.

Bro I started watching this video and just assumed you must have had hundreds of thousands of views! Super professional and love what you're doing! Hopefully the algorithm starts feeding views your way
I would love to have a pair of those headers. I actually own Legacy with the H6 motor. Funny though, cause porsche is my favorite car brand. Good work!
I just subscribe like the work keep going sir
holy cow, that looks utterly brilliant. maybe put a grill or mesh infront of the turbos to protect them but still have them visible? cannot wait to see them in action!!
I am back a day later.
I am watching these videos from #1- to the end of the build. I was at #28. I went forward to #61 to see if you had finalizing the cut outs for the twin turbos. I couldn't find anything and #61 was the most current video that I could find. Perhaps you who is reading my comments could let Michael know NOT to cut out around the turbos like he is doing in video #28 — it is a huge MISTAKE. Perhaps he will read this an NOT mess up the lines of the car. This rear bumper is just a prototype. Hopefully he reads this before he makes the final cut out on the fiberglass bumper.
I wasn't going to make a comment about the cuts out for the twin turbo but I was compelled to. I would say that your car is a modern, minimalist with the modern element like: pop-up door handles, rain gutter delete, all of the smooth curves, etc .I love the design that was drawn for your car. My concern is your deviation from the original design at the rear end.
I opened up another browser so I could see the drawing on one screen and the actual work on the other one to compare the design model with what you are doing on the car on video #28.
COMMENTS
The way you cut the tops of the turbo opening with something like a 45 degree angle on each top side DOESNT LOOK RIGHT in relation to the over-all look of the car !
– everything about the car is subtle.
– there is NOTHING on the car that reflects the use of a 45 degree angle cut at the top of the turbos
– square license plate, that sets the tone for the design/shape of the turbo cut outs that are right next to it.
– the design for the cutout are right angles that go with the right angles of the license plate
– deviating from this formula in the rear causes the mind NOT to focus (enjoy) on the beauty of the turbos which by themselves is art
– also, the opening on the sides of the turbos areTOO wide. For the left turbo it is left side side that is too wide. The right side turbo is too wide on the right side
– perhaps the center of the turbo should be the center of the license plate
– make sure you have minimal space on the sides of the turbos in relationship to the body metal to emphasize and focus on the turbo. From the video the space now is HUGE.
– you said perhaps you didn't like how the turbos were sitting, lower than the drawing. Your call but a little lower kind of makes the car appear to look heavy to the ground, more stable and powerful. You have the drawing, your call.
I have an 86' Carrera modified (turbos steel butt welded flairs, and much more) with RUF front and rear fiberglass bumpers. I modified them when they arrived at my home. I added more slats to the back bumper (more and faster air to be removed for the engine) and a larger opening in the front bumper. Because I cut out material the strength of the bumpers is weakened. To increase strength, on the back of the bumpers I used two layer of fiberglass mat and then 2 layer of cloth cut in 2" wide strips laid on wet with resin/catalyst for strength. When you cut out a big section of the rear bumper like you are doing it will be weak the bumper. It needs a build up of mat and cloth. Contact someone you might know who builds fiberglass car parts to find out how much mat/cloth you will need. Remember putting the steps on at an angle increases strength.
I know this a long comment but it is sooooooo important. Hopefully you or someone will get this information too Michael before he cuts out the holes on the fiberglass bumper
.
Thanks for taking the time to read my comments and also for passing the information to Michael.

You said you are just like us, the people watching your videos but I don't believe that. Perhaps 1% of those watching might be like you – just a guess. The way you move with your tools, think fast and calculating, no waste movements, fab up, etc. You aren't like us but I don't care and perhaps other really don't care either. We enjoy your build and your comments to us. I have done a lot of miscellaneous car projects over my life time but would never do anything this big and complicated in a million years. BUTt it is a joy just to watch how you, like a trapped animal, escapes from that trap and keeps moving forward.
Cool video!
Very cool! I will be watching with great interest. I too am in the early stages of a similar project using a '68 vw T3 squareback.
I am using a 2.2 EJ22 with twin T03/T04e Chinese turbos. I will do a crossbar rear support and slip jointed pipes. The bar will mount to an alternator fabrication. The turbos will be able to swing. I intend to soft mount the ends of the bar to the bumper mounts using sway bar end bushings. All the air cooling ducting is going away. It will be a wide body. The rear panel is to be a 'glass surround and removable to service the air filters.
How do you intend to scavenge the turbo drain oil? I plan to use a collector and an electric pump. Twin air/liquid intercoolers, 935 style plenums and twin throttle bodies. Also water/meth injection. Tanks in the back seat area.
This will ditch the swing axle rear in favor of a 5 link F1 style suspension. A Megasqirt 3 will power the package. Twin a arm ft. Suspension is in the works.
Keep it up!
Love the build.
Pretty cool. I own a supercharged EZ30r and with 10-1 compression I thought twin turbo? You’re going to bend some rods lol. You should SC it. Raptor makes a custom SC system for EZ30s. I run 8psi also so I guess if you run the turbos around that you should be all good.
