Sawing off the turbo neck gives me vibes of Allen Millyard. He’s an Englishman who makes new engines in unusual configurations out of factory parts, such as a one litre four cylinder two stroke from Kawasaki 750 parts. He cuts up crankcase freehand with a good hacksaw and welds up the Millyard special casings. They are all perfect and reliable because Allen is an exceptional engineer and fabricator.
What matters is functionality. Allen is a great builder, we love his stuff. That turbo neck modification was done 5 years ago, and has not given a single problem from the get-go. We believe Porsche's are build to last, but we believe also that some corners could be improved today vs 35 plus years ago 🙂
From 15:40 for about twenty seconds, you'll see explained why German engineering is the best in the World. I say this as a Brit who has lived and worked in Germany.
@@GermanTech-Motorworks Hey German tech guys! Yes, the accomplishment is rewarding... But Driving the 'little monster' is just a blast! I am looking for another one now.
There is something different about these early Porsches 911, I think Porsche hit the nail right with this car. I'm really lucky to own a lovely 1977 930 turbo that I get to drive when ever I be in a bad mood, and I always get back home with a smile, a perfect remedy! Thanks so much for this wonderful videos, please post more videos about early Porsches.
Groupwar NA can’t agree more. We are just working on a 1977 turbo in Continental Orange. It’s gonna be a complete rebuild, body sandblasted, new wiring etc.. 😊
Rebuilding the engine, restoring the interior and repainting the car body must have cost a ton of money! Wow. Plus the cost of the car itself. Obviously owned by a very wealthy person. Nice video.
Love the vintage, hand-forged and ground scissors! Decades ago, Sheffield, England would make a wife range of scissors, by hand, which would essentially last forever in routine service. Just as yours do. Now, it’s almost all machine made and the local toolmaking skills are all but lost forever.
Amazing knowledge and skills!!! I am in awe of the ability of the people who can restore 911's in poor condition to something very close to new! Such talent.
Very nice. I'd sure let these guys work on my 86 NA. It needs 1st gear synchros. I drive it and won't take it apart to "restore" because that's a long process that frequently takes a running car and turns it into a parts car.
I worked at a Porsche dealer in 1987 in sales. I got to drive a lot of 911’s and 930’s. Wonderful cars,to get the best out of them you had to learn the proper way to drive a rear engined car. I’ve always wanted a 930 but the days of getting one at a reasonable price are gone. Good memories though.👍🏻
As a machinist and a car guy I can appreciate your work! I worked in a German owned shop for many years, your accent brings back many memories. Keep up the excellent work!
I love the 930. 100% my favourite 911. So cheap when I was a kid but so expensive now! In my lifetime the have appreciated in value 10 - 15x over. The Countach has done the same
Just think. When these cars first came out, the repair/labor rates (flat rate) was little different from the normal 911 engine, which was already problematic. (lots of problems with studs pulling). Initial rate for replacing difficult to get at spark plugs. 1.1 hour (for the mechanic). So there was labor unrest in the repair stalls. Timing the cams and such also done in the repair stalls, most good mechanics had all of their own tools, somewhere I still have the very expensive camshaft nut tool. In Tucson, you worked very hard, the garage had no cooling in the summer, so I bought a large used A/C window unit and placed it on a wheeled dolly. First 930 model easily did over 165 mph. K jetronic in first version was prone to catastrophic lean backfiring. Was factory certified and trained, still have the framed certificates. I was one of the first who cleaned the injection nozzles with ultrasound.
The country which this 930 resides, the labour is not an issue, its the parts are super hard to get and the exchange rate sucks. Only rich chinese or malay royalties can afford it when it was new.
Nice rebuild. Beautiful color. Unfortunately: Default speed limits in Malaysia: Expressways: 110 km/h (68 mph) by default, but may be reduced to 80 or 90 km/h (50-56 mph) at dangerous mountainous stretches, crosswind areas and urban areas with high traffic capacity. Federal roads: 90 km/h (56 mph) by default (reduced to 80 km/h during festive seasons),[2] 60 km/h (37 mph) in town area. State roads: 90 km/h (56 mph) by default (reduced to 80 km/h during festive seasons),[2] 60 km/h (37 mph) in town area.
Thanks TH-cam algorothim for bringing me here. I know you probably don't look at this anymore, but I'm curious as to why didn't you try to do more of an OEM+ build? Specifically referring to safety item's like headlights to HID units, etc. Absolutely beautiful work!
Hi, Thanks you very much. About the OEM+, that wasn't for us to decide. It was a job for our client. The job was conducted according to clients budget / requirements
Very nice job. I am so lucky to have a 1980 930 Turbo, it was my dream car from my youth. Had it for 20 years now. Btw. Looks like the cylinder 1 valve lifted .8mm not .7 At least when counting from "0" mark. Sure its ok...
I understand the wish of having a factory spec engine but improving it with a modern turbo and EFI injection along with lighter/stronger internals would be a must for me..!!
Thanks Hector. Yes, we received that a lot. As instructed builders we propose changes, but in the end, client decides. Check out our 3.4l conversion as well on the black 930 turbo :-)
Would love to know roughly what the cost of one of these stunning restorations is. Finding someone with the passion and skill to essentially reproduce a 930 even better than from the factory in 1984 seems priceless to me.
My late father bought one new in 1979.It looked like this car but the colour was described as Casablanca Beige.Brilliant car, but a bastard in the wet.Thanks for you upload. 👍 👍 👍
@Germantech Motorworks Sdn. Bhd. you guys are amazing! This is my favorite video of all time :) this was beautiful, amazing, inspiring and very educational! I very much appreciate your guys! so outstanding! 👏👏👏🥇🏆
I would love to have been there tearing down and rebuilding that engine. Body work and interior look fantastic, great job. Wondering what the time frame and total cost for the restoration was ???
one issue i am curious. how much did owner buy this car and including your work how much he spent? seems like you guys are working clean and effective. thanks for the video also. was good to see a nice porsche get done well :)
I could be wrong, but it looks like you did not remove the old Blue Paint before applying the primer and new paint ~ if this is the case, then can it really be called a restoration back to "Original Condition"?
Thanks for your comment John, in this particular rebuild the majority of paint was pretty much removed by hand during the body repair simply because the actual material beneath needed to be checked for rust prior to repainting the body in its original color. Stay tuned for another upcoming video soon of a 1977 turbo, where the body (due to its condition) was completely wet blasted.
Leo - great vid! You’re a talented and knowledgeable individual! what kind of glue and where do you find that aluminum piece for the turbo? Also why not rebuild rather than replace turbo?
The bond is provided with the replacement charger alongside a manual for modification. New is always better than re-build when it comes to hi-rev components in our opinion.
Nice work. I consider myself extremely fortunate to have been able to own a 1980 930 for about 5 years (1985 to 1990). They are phenomenal cars and I miss the one I owned every day. Any particular reason you left the air conditioning belt off?
thanks for your comment. There was no rust. The basic foundation of the car was pretty healthy. What you see in the video (brownish -yellow) is Dunlop glue residue. Dunlop glue is used to bond the carpets and noise isolation into the car. The residue has been removed by hand, using solvents and re-applied when the new materials went in.
Those rear fenders, if there has been a better line drawn for a car, I haven't seen it. If you owned it, wouldn't you just take a nice soft cloth a rub them like.....well....you know.
I particularly enjoyed your demonstration that valve timing was precisely 0,7mm BTDC & both banks.
I watch this video every year or so just to remind myself to take my time and do things the proper way, these guys are amazing

From a retired body shop guy/paint sprayer.....great job guys I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Thank you :-)
I recently completed the same degree of restoration on my 1976 930 turbo, #415. Fun to relive the process through this video.
Its a great feeling getting towards completion and doing the first test drive :-)

Not a popular colour these days but I love gold cars.Gorgeous.A credit to all your hard work and skills.

Thanks Kev, stay tuned, we will be releasing another nice one next week :-)
damn...fine looking Porsche. luv the color...never would have changed it in the first place.

Just your accent makes me want to ship my motor all the way to Germany so you can rebuild it!!! Awesome video.
I've gotta disappoint you Corey, I've established German Tech in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The German weather was too harsh for my taste :-)

Thank you Tom, we enjoyed the journey :-)
You are making art. Thank you for sharing.
What a beautiful paint colour that is!
Nice rebuild! You guys did an awesome job restoring this Porsche. Thanks for taking the time to make and post the video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
love the paint. cool cars.
Fabulous work again ......
thank you 🙂
Wow, simply stunning. Great work guys, what a dream car. How anybody could change that original colour is beyond me it looks fantastic! 👍
Thanks Stuart, I'm glad you like the work :-)
Hi Mr. Leo. Very nice job. Well done. Congratulations from Brasil. I liked so much the way you presented this rebuild.
Thank you Carlos, and sorry for the lousy video quality 🙂
Very nice job. I am so lucky to have a 1980 930 Turbo, it was my dream car from my youth. Had it for 20 years now.
Btw. Looks like the cylinder 1 valve lifted .8mm not .7 At least when counting from "0" mark. Sure its ok...
Well observed :-)
We noted that after the clip was in the box and corrected it.
Saubere Arbeit!
Danke Dir, Thomas :-)

Fantastic job Herr Leo and Germantech!
Nice project, thanks for the video.
Now the car will sit in a collection, will rarely be driven .

Thx
Glad to see the great whole job,thanks a lot.
was more work creating a video than building a car :-)
Curious how many man hours great video !!
Thanks. Hard to tell Chris, we had several mechanics working on it in the same time. I would guess 300-400.
Nice video but am I the only one to notice that that cylinder 1 was actually opening 0.8mm at the TDC mark
We were aware of that when the vid has been recorded already. We did make an unrecorded adjustment to that. Well observed I must say :-)
Good work. Looks expensive but that is to be expected.
Simply fabulous
I would love to have been there tearing down and rebuilding that engine. Body work and interior look fantastic, great job. Wondering what the time frame and total cost for the restoration was ???
2 cars are never the same. Depends on hours required going into it.
Wow you guy really did a fantastic job cheers
Awesome color choice.
Thank you :-)
heaven !
Brilliant work...almost like an artwork...
As a primitive re builder I am very Impressed :)
no re-builder is primitive, John. But passionate :-)
A classic will remain a classic
Love your work together with the team. May I ask a rough estimate for restoration like this? Thnks Leo
That varies from car to car. Really comes down to the extend of work required.
Very nice 👍

You could if your exchange rate to Malaysian Ringgit are much more superior.
one issue i am curious. how much did owner buy this car and including your work how much he spent? seems like you guys are working clean and effective. thanks for the video also. was good to see a nice porsche get done well :)
thank you. Merely sharing the work done, cost is very individual and private. builds like that vary usually quite a bit.
Alles super erklärt. Was kostet so eine Restaurierung?
Danke Willi. Das kann zwischen 30-80,000 Euro je nach Arbeitsumpfang liegen.
