Thanks for the kind comments everyone! This was a really difficult one to edit again, as it was filmed over many weeks during a very busy time for Driftworks. I promise I'll try and get the next one to you a little quicker.
160 amps is the minimum alternator requirement for a Australian road train rated at 90 ton. your Porsche probably passes the horsepower requirement too. looks great
It looks like a monster. Something was sticking out of the bumper, air jacks connection? Man, an f40 track car build would be epic. Does life get any better?
Freaking love this !! I was born in 1970 and grew up loving the 911 so when I see old school Porsche being updated and upgraded I fall in love quickly… the color combo and quality of work sets this 911 apart from most custom built old 911’s .. can’t wait to see the finished product
Great to see the effort that has gone into getting the engine to the standard you desire (raising the bar massively). I couldn’t stretch to a 930/964 but have managed to get into a 997.2 C2S. Now for some of those works wheels! Keep up the good work!
I saw an electric a/c kit being installed in a 911 by Jeff (from Australia) on his TH-cam channel: Home Built Jeff. It looks like at least a part of this kit also works for your car. Also the Wosp alternator, which seems an excellent choice.
It is the same system that Jeff is using from Jonny Hart of Classic Retrofit. Jonny has been working on electric heating as well which he setup for his EV build however as of June 2021, any 12V heating which is built into the HVAC "suitcase" is "a long way off - perhaps years". Fingers crossed there has been some development here. I am sure Phil would love some proper heating in his part of the world! 🥶😁
Would be interested in seeing which electric A/C + heater setup your talking about. Like to try something like that on my dry-sumped coyote powered "streetcar".
Love, just love videos on the 964, what a car. Phil you never do anything by halves, great work. Please keep and look after this truly stunning piece of rolling art ❤
Very enjoyable to watch,great can do attitude as always.Particularly enjoyed the “Generation game” voice over when going through the engine build process. Now come on hurry up and get it running!
Awesome to see you cracking on with the 964. Very small world as I built the guy who owns classic retrofits oak frame extension 😅 he was testing the aircon kit in he’s 930.
Great to see this back! Love all the bespoke work going into this. Noticed there was one coil not positioned because of the frame, is that just a case of it needs plugging in first?
@@driftworks sure, that's was clear. Between 2018/19 I was in your same position, without my mechanic and electronics men it would be only a dream to rebuild and tune my car. It was a beautiful journey of learning thanks them and now I have 8k good reasons to have fun. I wish you the best 😉 keep it up!
What a wonderful car Phil, so happy to see it getting close to running again. Great solution for the belt tension. It's a difficult call for which is the ultimate car in your collection. So many great projects and creative solutions, now just hurry up and get the Ten into One sorted ;)
Beautiful looking car and great attention to detail building the engine. What is most impressive is the use of the desk to support the engine when fitting, worked perfectly.😀
Cheers. That desk is one of the best additions I've ever made to the workshop. It's so useful as a project desk & heavy duty enough for an engine & box.
Fantastic content mate! I have a very similar self built 3,3 964 turbo engine in my RWB and this is both very inspiring and very helpful in solving some problems i have! 👏🏼 I’ve been using an electric scavenge pump for the turbo and it has caused headaches, so i will definately try the one you fitted here. Where do you run your return oil back into the engine?
Someone has on my IG. I wondered if it would get any questions 😂. We've made the tins around it perfectly to allow us to clip the plug onto the coilpack, then spin the coilpack to bolt it to the new boss on the rocker cover. It works perfectly and means once mounted everything looks uniform.
If you wanted to spend days and days for no significant gain you could do that. I don't have the skills or patience so standard fabrication will do me.
Great vid. You "Mess about" 😉 with most people's dream cars. No one can say your not brave. Kudos to jays work on it too 👍👍. I used be a Porsche 964 test driver.... cough.... So if you need any help in that department let me know
Great and beautiful build, but what are the benefits of going to an epas system? Seems that it would be detrimental to the driving experience since the hydraulic steering is one of the best things an air cooled 911 is known for
Thanks. It's not possible to use sequential ignition / coil on plug with the hydraulic power steering. Plus there's a weight distribution advantage, although that is slight.
Is there any truth to longevity using titanium retainers that they don't last as long for a road going daily compared to standard retainers. Or Is it just the usual online myths. Absolutely love this video.
I've never had a problem with them, but if I'm fitting ti retainers the car's not likely to be doing 20,000 miles a year, so I'm possibly not the guy to ask.
I have seen a few sets of Supertech TI retainers wear quite badly around the edges of the retainer and where the ’pig tail’ of the spring sits. Can try and dig the pictures out if you are interested...
I don't have any idea why dual plug is a thing. It ran great on the standard single plug setup, and should work just as well or better on the coil on plug setup.
Rather than cut up the power steering console, just sell it. and have a cap made for the end of the cam. it would be a simple cap with a O ring groove. When the motor was being built they also could have just put a cam in it without the output drive on it and solved that problem.
A couple of reasons. The new rings need running in, the assembly lube gets diluted into the oil, and even with the cleanest engine build in the world, there's still going to be some dirt, that this essentially allows me to wash out using cheap oil. It does no damage to bearings etc as I'm not going to be running to redline on full boost.
Thanks for the kind comments everyone! This was a really difficult one to edit again, as it was filmed over many weeks during a very busy time for Driftworks. I promise I'll try and get the next one to you a little quicker.
Yes- more, please Sir.
I'd prefer these longer less frequent videos 👍
KÅNKELBÄR I STÄRTEN ?!?!
Nice Ferrari in the background at 1:47.
160 amps is the minimum alternator requirement for a Australian road train rated at 90 ton. your Porsche probably passes the horsepower requirement too.
looks great
Good to know! 😂
Good to see the desk used for the 3 R's: reading, 'riting, replacement of engine
😄
Yes I’ve been excited for an update on this beast !
Holy fk, no mention of the f40 with a serious diffuser going on
Think of beauty ain't it , I was trying to figure out if it was a lm or not
It looks like a monster. Something was sticking out of the bumper, air jacks connection? Man, an f40 track car build would be epic. Does life get any better?
@@Matty.Hill_87 somewhere in between LM and GTE spec but not built by Michelotto so technically neither
It's a GTE I think, but I'll probably be corrected.
Finally, you're putting some parts in this that are Project Binky quality, with that 'leccy power steering pump... 😀
Love the use of the desk with the engine going back in 🤣 great to see it coming back together - top work as always 👍
Thanks 👍

That engine looks far too nice for this channel Phil. Great work.

Thanks Adam. Congrats on the new purchase 👍
If in a couple years you still have that 964, I will come see you. God I am so in love with it!

Strong chance it's the same kit. I think it's used on Singers etc. I'll check the video out if I get a mo. Cheers.

I was just thinking I was desperate for a new DW video!
Good to see things progressing again, this and the M3 V10 are the best builds.
Love the video! this build looks stunning!! CONGRATS to all involved
Would be interested in seeing which electric A/C + heater setup your talking about. Like to try something like that on my dry-sumped coyote powered "streetcar".
Every project needs a Jay. Can I borrow yours for a while?
Great to see this one getting nearer to the road again.
Been waiting a update on the Porsche. My fav. RWB. Excellent!!!
SALUTE ! 👊Via Chicago
F40 LM or GTE just chilling in the background?!
Love, just love videos on the 964, what a car. Phil you never do anything by halves, great work. Please keep and look after this truly stunning piece of rolling art ❤
Thank you.

Aaaannnd , a cuddly toy !
Wonderful to see a new video on the 964. Missed this level of detail and a touch of messing around 👍
Cheers
Awesome to see you cracking on with the 964. Very small world as I built the guy who owns classic retrofits oak frame extension 😅 he was testing the aircon kit in he’s 930.
Badass, stoked to see this one back up and running. Good episode.
Cheers 👍
Great to see this back! Love all the bespoke work going into this. Noticed there was one coil not positioned because of the frame, is that just a case of it needs plugging in first?
It is. The plug needs connecting, then it's spun into place.
The thumbnail. 😂 So happy to see an episode on the very build that prompted me to subscribe to this channel!
Thanks Eric 👍
i had to rewind a bit i was too busy gawping at that F40, Phil man its got to be on your list somewhere
Thanks for the update. Love this build.
Thanks man!
It seems a properly rebuilded engine. Nice to see, is not so usual to see jobs like theese properly done. Well done man
Thanks man. Credit goes to Matt at Fearnsport for the majority of it.
@@driftworks sure, that's was clear. Between 2018/19 I was in your same position, without my mechanic and electronics men it would be only a dream to rebuild and tune my car. It was a beautiful journey of learning thanks them and now I have 8k good reasons to have fun.
I wish you the best 😉 keep it up!
I hope Craig gets a monthly retainer from Driftworks! Great video guys.
Nice one . Looks a proper clean engine now . Lovely car too
Office desk engine stand lol
Looking forward to the next installment and of the final conclusions 👍
What a wonderful car Phil, so happy to see it getting close to running again. Great solution for the belt tension. It's a difficult call for which is the ultimate car in your collection. So many great projects and creative solutions, now just hurry up and get the Ten into One sorted ;)
Thanks man! Hopefully not too long until I can show the progress on the V10 M3. It's madness.
Great to see ya back and great to see the progress 👍
Thanks 👍

Hell yeah!!! Waited so long for an update!
Yes your back phill and J
Great to see progress on this!!👍
Top quality work as usual!👌
Thank you! 👍
Interesting video. A good invention was to use a table to install the engine.😊💯👍🏻
Thanks 👍
Fearnsport. He's a legend.
Fantastic redesign of the coil packs and power steering. Pullys. This is going to be a beast on the road. 1👍💯
Thanks John 👍
Liked this before I watched it, I’ve been following your insta and desperately waiting for this update
Cheers Ross.
Amazing engine and beautiful car.
Looking forward to see it up running soon 😍👌
Great Video.. Looking forward to the next update 😎😎
Cheers 👍
14:00 The term you are looking for is ‘froot’. Front-boot.
Nah its definitley a frunk
A builders laser is good for checking alignment of pulleys 👍
Love these videos. Chills me out after work, plus the car is amazing. Can’t wait for this thing to run again. Next video soon please!!!👍
Thanks Bob! 👍
That’s a class engine setup
Cheers 👍
Finally! Well done lads.
Awesome build and love the attention to detail to modernise it and make it drive better.👍
Thanks Mike 👍
Fantastic as always
Just such an epic looking car
Cheers
Absolute beauty, my favorite Porsche 😍 ❤️ ❤️

@@driftworks Looking very much forward to it! Also, been wanting to bring the RWB to the UK this summer so would be wicked to link up then🤝
Amazing stuff 👏
Thanks 👍
Fair play. Looking unreal 👌
Two Lovely Guys, Thanks for the Video.
Thanks Billy 👍
Nobody talkes about the coil At 25:50? realy good work... loving it
Someone has on my IG. I wondered if it would get any questions 😂. We've made the tins around it perfectly to allow us to clip the plug onto the coilpack, then spin the coilpack to bolt it to the new boss on the rocker cover. It works perfectly and means once mounted everything looks uniform.
Wouldn't a 3D scan have helped with the "sealing" of the engine (for the fan)?
Then 3d print molds and make the parts from composite
If you wanted to spend days and days for no significant gain you could do that. I don't have the skills or patience so standard fabrication will do me.
great video guys thanks
Great vid. You "Mess about" 😉 with most people's dream cars. No one can say your not brave. Kudos to jays work on it too 👍👍. I used be a Porsche 964 test driver.... cough.... So if you need any help in that department let me know
Thanks Rory, that's a pretty brave job I reckon. It definitely would be on this one. It was already terrifying 😄
@@driftworks I can handle it, I just worry the bushes can't 😁
Looking great Phil :)
Y’all back!!!!!
Ahhhhh yeah!
You guys keep saying it wrong. It’s bwackets
😄
Great episode!
Cheers
Man I love this car !!!
Cheers Kogi 👍
How much was the engine rebuild. Looked like a work of art
Can’t believe it’s taken so long for an update, anyone would think you guys had wives and kids and businesses to run or something 😂
😂
" Bwacket" Phil. Please use this pronunciation. Can we get " Craig- can you just .." stickers? Cheers
Great job guys!
Thanks Mike!
27:38 improvise, adapt, overcome 👌😂
👍 Love that table 😂
Top job, as always!!!
Thank you!
Looking good buddy 😎
Thanks man!
Always look forward to seeing your vids, that is an awesome car 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Cheers Simon.
what was the cost of the rebuild?
I do believe alot of people who build serious track e46 m3s use that merc PAS pump also
Yep. it's pretty common in a lot of track builds 👍
Great and beautiful build, but what are the benefits of going to an epas system? Seems that it would be detrimental to the driving experience since the hydraulic steering is one of the best things an air cooled 911 is known for
Thanks. It's not possible to use sequential ignition / coil on plug with the hydraulic power steering. Plus there's a weight distribution advantage, although that is slight.
About time you got the Porsche out…
Awesome as always. Keep it coming
Cheers. Will do!
Going to be sweet when done 👍
Hope so! 😎

It’s myth. I’ve never In my life heard of , or seen a worn or broken retainer
I have seen a few sets of Supertech TI retainers wear quite badly around the edges of the retainer and where the ’pig tail’ of the spring sits.
Can try and dig the pictures out if you are interested...
Super cool car
Thanks 👍
Nice work! Can the coil packs be removed while the engine is in the car?
Cheers. They can. I tried to think about absolutely everything. (Somethings going to bite me in the ass now I've said that)
New follow from Carwow
Hi & welcome 👍
Thoughts on staying with single plug vs dual plug?
I don't have any idea why dual plug is a thing. It ran great on the standard single plug setup, and should work just as well or better on the coil on plug setup.
What about that F40 in the background at Fearn ? Looks magnificent !
Not a bad backdrop eh! It's a GTE I think. I'm sure I'll be corrected though.
@@driftworks Thanks ! Nice channel for real petrolheads!
Hooray!
Rather than cut up the power steering console, just sell it. and have a cap made for the end of the cam. it would be a simple cap with a O ring groove. When the motor was being built they also could have just put a cam in it without the output drive on it and solved that problem.
Too late.. It wasn't just the cap, it was something to build the tins up to to seal the top half of the engine.
You could’ve done a really nice safety wire job it will look tits for coils
No need on an engine like this. I'm not looking for any more work to do on it 😄
F40 in the background…….
Sorry if I'm being abit dense but why a cheaper oil for running in .
A couple of reasons. The new rings need running in, the assembly lube gets diluted into the oil, and even with the cleanest engine build in the world, there's still going to be some dirt, that this essentially allows me to wash out using cheap oil. It does no damage to bearings etc as I'm not going to be running to redline on full boost.
you have the best car man from carwow
Cheers! & welcome 👍
Can you get the coils out when the engine is fitted
Yes.
Is that one of your other porsche's you're referring to as a van? 😂😂
Audi RS A-van-t
I like it Tristan 😂
Finally!!!!!
Oh yeah!!!
Oh god think I need a cold shower rofl to much 964 for a tuesday

That's pure engine porn! Love it!
