Smaller cut outs would be my vote. Ideally needs some sort of trim/edge to make it look like it's meant to be there rather than just a random cut out. Something billet or made from extrusions welded & dressed back which could also hold some very open mesh would look great. Very cool concept.
The peekaboo is totally bitchin'. I love the way they kinda give a nod to the bumperless Porsche race cars where you see the whole exhaust system, but with a high level of refinement. Can't wait to see it finished. It's going to be awesome.
A back-in-the-day solution was to have a shot of nitrous to provide oomph to get the engine to spool the turbos faster - nowadays smaller, high efficiency turbos and ecm reduce lag. Great content - keep plugging and the TH-cam algo’s will catch up!
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
yeah totally amazing execution there Mike. The peekaboo thing is SO Porsche, you can always cover it up once you're bored with the look! the thing looks SICK with the EJ and the two blowers in there though, no mistake, I'm almost probably nearly as excited as you are about this.
I agree. Epic. But that is largely irrelevant. Your ride , your creation. Best part of this whole project is it is your vision. So satisfying. Full speed ahead !!
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!!
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!
I really like the way the cutouts look, the diagonals on the corners are a great touch. They look a tad wider than in the illustration, but both look good in my opinion. Great build, keep it up 🤘🤘
Now I'm REALLY keen to know where the intercooling and the engine cooling figures. Those turbos are BEASTS Mike! Having Mike Brewer on should've dragged in another 20 or 30 views at least :) just proves the algorithm doesn't always work, ha ha..... Engine mounts should be fun. and the wiring harness. Haltech for the win baby! (My pizza joint is in the climbing mecca of Siurana in Spain. Started measuring up for the oven today, BTW) Your Bette Midler impersonation is a solid 4/10. An 8 for effort though. Cheers!
Awesome, really looks cool. Not a fan of the "no bumper" thing some twin turbo setup guys do, this is really going to give it a nice finished look. My Dad use to say, "it just takes a little bit more to go first class" and your doing that with the peek-a-boo cutouts. Great job!!!
Looks great. Not really into doing this stuff myself, I'm more of a bike guy just as noob, but can`t miss an episode. Keep up the good work, can't wait to see it running.
Love your build and how you’re doing it. I like how you come up with simple solutions to engineering challenges that crop up. Also your cut outs to see the turbos is a great idea, however in my opinion those cutouts look better in your drawing than they do on the panel you modified and I think the reason for that is in the drawing the openings appear to be narrower which I find more ascetically pleasing to the eye. Keep up the cool work. 😃
Mike, I just discovered your channel & LOVE the content!! I just subscribed w/ bell notifications & I’m hooked watching your early to present videos several times. Really humbling & surreal to see other people across the country get similar dreams of killer cool projects. I have been plotting & planning a “budget” build for years of a heavily modded twin turbo air-cooled motor mated to Porsche 6-speed transaxle build w/ the only American rear engine air-cooled production car.😎 Like you, my idea of cool was heavily influenced by the 934/935 w/ a twist, “what if GM had gone racing FIA & IMSA to compete head-to-head w/ Porsche?” How cool would those race cars have been?! Love your execution of the build. Please keep it up! Your work is inspiring new live into my build & really like your breakdown of plan of attack & adjustments needed.
Loving the look of the turbos and being able to see them..... makes sure you know not only does it look different but has something different under the bonnet (or hood!)
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!
Not sure if you already bought the Haltech, but I'm using a Speeduino ECU in my car. Total cost was like $200, and it's all open-source. I'm writing some custom modules to control the analog outputs to drive all the factory gauges.
Haltech is a sponsor, and they have a plug and play harness for this engine. And E85 compatibility out of the gate. And a host of other cool things. Like the headers, it's just worth the cost to save time.
Another thumbs up for your just git in there and figure it out fab skills. The Subie engine looks good in there and the peak a boos will be more "absolutely epic" when you can see orange glowing turbos through them at night. Haven't seen comment on this yet but hopefully you took a break to play with your pooch who brought you a tennis ball to play with during this project at 19:43.
I like it! At first I was thinking to go without the rear panel like a 935 or Bisi TT, but this looks pretty good. I am building a 914 with the same motor. Now I'm thinking of going with a Twin Turbo set up like you. If more is good, than too much is just right!
Smaller cut outs would be my vote. Ideally needs some sort of trim/edge to make it look like it's meant to be there rather than just a random cut out. Something billet or made from extrusions welded & dressed back which could also hold some very open mesh would look great. Very cool concept.
Agreed. Just "proof of concept" at this point.
Michael, absolutely cool! The "Peek a Boo" effect looks awesome and closely resembles your artwork! Keep up the great work!
Thanks Shane! needs a bit of refinement, but I'm digging it so far.
Totally agree that the “peek a boo” is trick! It’s cool to see your vision for the “electro-mod” & definitely think it’s not run of the mill look.
The peekaboo is totally bitchin'. I love the way they kinda give a nod to the bumperless Porsche race cars where you see the whole exhaust system, but with a high level of refinement. Can't wait to see it finished. It's going to be awesome.
That's the idea Alex! Just a little sumpin' sumpin'. :)
Looking great mate. It is definitely going to be loud. Also great tip on the head torch on the welding helmet. Fantastic idea.
Oh, it'll be loud alright. I'll solve that when the time comes.
I think it so awesome that you put an EZ30 in an old porsche, so cool!
Yea, it gets more fun every day!
Little bit of black metal mesh over the turbo holes will look super clean, good job!
I think the idea is great. You might want to make the holes not as wide though. The height is good. This project is going awesome!
I am on board with that thinking
i love how well you fabricate with basic tools. you rock dude!
"well" is relative. lol.
I think the holes are to big for those turbos and the turbos need to be closer to those holes. But I’d go with no visible turbos. Otherwise good work
The turbos will definitely be closer to the holes, and I'm experimenting with hole size. Thanks for the feedback.
Inspiring me for my fabrication work on my 914. Keep it up.
It looks fantastic! You are a wizard with a massive courage. Headturner.
Thank you ole
A back-in-the-day solution was to have a shot of nitrous to provide oomph to get the engine to spool the turbos faster - nowadays smaller, high efficiency turbos and ecm reduce lag. Great content - keep plugging and the TH-cam algo’s will catch up!
yea, apparently the Haltech has anti lag technology built in!
Very INSPIRATIONAL!!!!!
I’m starting my own total restoration project!!!!
Thanks 👍👍👍👍👍
Epic project.
I love the EZ30 engine. Any projects with them fascinates me. Keep going. Cant wait to hear it roling.
Thanks for watching, all. I appreciate you! If you're on the instagrams, I do post some "in between" updates at instagram.com/_rennch_
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
From your mouth to TH-cam’s ears.
Found this through listening to your audiophile podcast. I love both, keep up the good work!
Thanks man!

Deep admiration for this build and your tenacity for moving forward.
Great effort bloke, watching all the way down in Geelong, Australia
That's awesome! Spread the word!
I agree. Epic. But that is largely irrelevant. Your ride , your creation. Best part of this whole project is it is your vision. So satisfying. Full speed ahead !!
Thanks David.
Such a fun build to watch evolve. Love the name of the channel too!
Thanks man! It's one my favorite brands I've created.
This is so rad! Love the peek-a-boo effect.
Cool, thanks!
Don’t worry about the views, keep the amazing content and they will come!
Thanks dude.
Love how out of the box this 911 is and how close it resembles the sketch so far. Great episode, keep it up!
Thanks Diederick! See you on IG!
yay thanks youtube algorithm for bringing me this, finally someone make my dream true, this is amazing
Thanks bud!
Love your videos. Watching from Perth, Australia
I ususlly don't like blasphemy Porsche builds, but this is so cool. Subscribed!
Thanks! Check out the engine reveal video a few episodes back.
NIce Work man, go for it and I cant wait to see the end result
Michael, this is bad assery right there! You deserve the youtubes love brotha. Been w/ you from the beginning, keep banging it.
Thanks Mike!
Looks great, your enthusiasm conquers everything!
Thanks Bob!
Very cool, Mike! Keep plugging away!
Thanks rob!

Loving the build, didnt think anyone could make what was a perfect and stunning car any better...
Awesome. I learn something each video. Keep it coming...
I really like the way the cutouts look, the diagonals on the corners are a great touch. They look a tad wider than in the illustration, but both look good in my opinion. Great build, keep it up 🤘🤘
I'm going to make some decals and dial them in for the real thing.
Love the fact you are doing it at home. Keep it up.
Just a dude in the garage. :-)
Good progress! Little Bisimoto flair never hurt anyone. 👍
What is “Bisimoto flair?”
Look up the bisimoto Porsche 930 (on jay leno channel for example).
@@marcsimons135 Oh I’m well aware of the car. But he’s using the same inspiration I am, which is the 935. I don’t consider that “Bisimoto flair”
I like how you are putting this together.it’s very neat so far.great job.
Thanks medi

I have to say you are killing it. Sooner than later you will getting more views bro.👍🏼
I'm going to keep plugging away either way.
@MichaelVicente is right. The content here is really good, and that is going to bring the views. It's just great stuff.
Great work as always. As you asked I’d say no peekaboo if they fit behind the panel, but all good if they poke out of the holes.
They will be a bit closer I think
Awesome, really looks cool. Not a fan of the "no bumper" thing some twin turbo setup guys do, this is really going to give it a nice finished look. My Dad use to say, "it just takes a little bit more to go first class" and your doing that with the peek-a-boo cutouts. Great job!!!

Great work, great channel. Keep up the awesome work, the algorithms will hopefully show you some love soon. 👍
Hopefully!

From your mouth to gods ears. :-)
Just came across your channel.... DOPE! . . Can't wait to watch the rest of the build. Keep it up!
Thanks Tony. Thanks for being on board.
Looks like its following the original rendering nicely!! Keep up the great work!
Thanks a lot dude. Plugging away!
This just gets better all the time! Definitely keep the cutouts.
Cool thanks man.
I really like the look. I think it might look better with a wire mesh over the holes so it's more subdued.
I'd be stoked too see a ez30 powered car at sema
Love the build.
For the love of algorithm! Great episode, love from Sweden.
LOL, yes!
Go team! The turbos look awesome. Really good. BTW regardless of what the TH-cam algorithm thinks, your videos are among my favorites. So there!
Thanks Jim
Twin Turbo's = Twice as much fun
That’s what I think!
Inspiration for now shoving to Ez30r into a 944 with either twin low psi turbos or maybe a supercharger. Seen several people supercharge these motors
Love your channel. I wait patiently each week for your blasphemy build progress. Keep it up! Hope I can help to foster more algorithm$$$$!
Awesome! Thank you!
I love the build. Great creativity, and very inspiring. Cannot wait to see the progress.
Thanks Aurelien!
Super cool set up
Thanks!
Love this channel. I'm keen to see it through on all future builds.
love this build!
Thanks for you the videos. The sounds are definitely perfect. 🤘☺️🤘
Glad you like them Aku!
Great build. What a challenge you've taken on, visible turbos out back - very nice!
Thanks man. We'll see if it stands the test of time. :)
fun to see the progress and how you are overcoming the challenges! Good Job
Thanks!

Message to TH-cam: more love for this channel, please
From your mouth to gods ears!
Very Cool look and awesome work too!
Thanks Martin!

This is the nicest comment I think I've ever gotten. Thanks Jason and thanks for being here!
Woohoo ! I love how this is turning out, and kudos for your alignment jig. Clever 🙂
Thank you very much! Good proof of concept.
This is going to do rad. Rip rip. Love the content.
I think so. :)
Loving the look of the turbos and being able to see them..... makes sure you know not only does it look different but has something different under the bonnet (or hood!)
Yea that’s the plan. :)
Loving the fat twin turbs and pipes!👍
finally getting to them!
Such a super episode!
Thanks Keith! You have to come up and check out the new pad.
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!
fest episode yet, I think you finally cracked it!
best, stupid iPhone
I agree. EPIC!!!
love the build
Thanks Rooby.

Great videos. More engine stuff please 😬
Loving your work. You can get "mirror image" turbos to give the rear a more symmetrical look. It might also help with their plumbing.
Awesome job , inspiring !!!
Thanks so much! (Would be a huge help if you'd spread the word to your FB groups/IG if you're so inclined!)
Looks great! Maybe maybe some Ferrari Scuderia style mesh over the top?
Another thumbs up for your just git in there and figure it out fab skills.

I know! I felt bad for him that day.
I like them, but would make them about 50% smaller. Nice work!
Good feedback. Do you mean the turbos or the holes?
If you're referring to the holes I agree: smaller for a more subtle peek a boo would be killer.
@@rennch. Holes! I'd never recommend smaller turbos :)
High five baby! This build is epic!
Thanks dude, much appreciated.
This is SICK
Ok rad! Thanks.
Nice job I like it!
You are my hero
Love your work
Thank you!
Very cool don't forget your ear protection 👌👌
I don't ever forget it. I've got the Jabra 75T in my ears for this whole video when I'm grinding or making a lot of noise!
Awesome work!!!
Thanks Shaun!
Keep up the Awesomeness
Great stuff! Really interested to see this progress.
I like it! At first I was thinking to go without the rear panel like a 935 or Bisi TT, but this looks pretty good. I am building a 914 with the same motor. Now I'm thinking of going with a Twin Turbo set up like you. If more is good, than too much is just right!
That's the right attitude. :)
Loving this build mate!
Thanks Tim!
Loving these videos! Keep it up, man! Massively inspirational. Peekaboos look great, holes a fraction smaller in my opinion but looks dope!
Yea I’m in agreement with that.
Looks awesome man, go for it! 👍🏻
Thanks dude
Nice engineering, sir :)
The one thing that confuses me is s small amount of air intakes in the trunk, could you consider another design, probably from Magnus Walker
Nice job
Thank you Jose! Cheers!
