1979 Porsche 930 Ruf mods
January 26, 2010 by Ben
I’ve been holding off on posting a Porsche for a couple weeks now. I’m very picky when it comes to my favorite German marque.
Being that this is my first Porsche post, I wanted to make sure that it hit all of my requirements. Air-cooled – check, turbo – check, coupe – check, go-fast mods – yes please, oh and it’s in my state as well? Perfect.
What we have is a 1979 Porsche 930. As many of you may know the “930” denotes a 911 with a turbocharged engine . This boosted flat-six was rebuilt less than 6,000 miles ago by PCA tech out of Exotic in Plaistow NH who “specializes in race car engines”.
The list of upgrades includes:
3.4L pistons and barrels
Updated chain tensioners and covers
964 grind cams
K27 turbo
New OEM exhaust less then 1000 miles ago
4 piston, 917 brakes, stainless steel brake lines
Fresh clutch cable
Short Shifter
Updated A/C compressor
Fresh Bilsteins all around
All seals and bushings in suspension/drive train have been checked and replacedH-5 head lights
New windshield as well as fresh window seals all around
Fresh carpets
Custom center console
New headliner
Stereo is Alpine 3DE-7985S CD changer
Alpine MRV-F302, 4 channel, power amp
17” Ruf, 9” front and 10” rear Bridgestone Potenza S-02 pole position tires
I’ve always dreamed about owning a 930/964. Seeing that this is a local car, I’m going to try get out of work early to take a better look…and beg for a test drive.

As a guy who has owned dozens of air cooled Porsches both NA and turbo I can tell you just by looking at that car it’s a money pit waiting to happen. Incomplete projects all over, mix and match parts all over, sloppy paint work and body work, shoddy incomplete interior work. The first rule on a boosted aircooled Porsche is make sure you know what you’re getting into. If he’s running the 3.4 P and C’s then why the stock intake and why for god’s sake the stock IC? They can’t work efficiently with the larger displacement. The biggie is why bother going and getting a new stock exhaust? None of the mix and match of parts on this car looks particularly well thought out or engineered for each other. The only RUF piece on the car is the ultra heavy wheels. Nothing else save for the RUF looking front spoiler is RUF. Ask me how I know and I can post some shots of my RUF car.
IMO and I have a lot of experience with these cars this car is FULLY priced at the opening bid. I would budget something in the area of 10k minimum to get it sorted out decent, that’s decent not perfect.
