Porsche 930 Turbo S update; We put it on the dyno to find out just how much power it really has

- After the trip to Spain, my tweaked 'Sonderwunsch' Porsche 930 Turbo S was fully run in and once Jaz Porsche had completed its first service, I took it to Lichfield Motors where they put it on the dyno to see how powel it really produces.

Don't ever be concerned with being geeky. Pretty sure that's part of what most of us are here for!
I certainly am. 👍
Correct
Amen💯
Agreed. Love that Harry uses scales to weigh cars!
Precisely!
Arguably, one of the best looking 911's of all time.
Without a doubt. Such a beauty
Don't have to argue with me, I agree completely.
100% !
The rear picnic table looks a bit crap.
@@Pete-z6e Nah,its forgivable to let people know what it is.A true legend👍
I love Harry's content, my 7 year old boy loves Harry's content. Who doesn't enjoy a Harry's Garage video on a Sunday!
Paint looks great.
You have brought him up well!
Sunday is best day.
Lol. I was brushing my teeth this morning and I thought to myself “oh boy there’ll be a Harry’s Garage video today!” Harry is the man!
Don’t forget Harry’s Farm that’s good too👍
Not to mention an episode from Iain at Tyrell's Classic Workshop!
What a good end to the weekend :)
The reason for the low MPG is so funny and unique, it just adds to the quirks and loves on this car.
Great content as always, cheers.
Wow! 391hp with a car that light! I would LOVE to be able to drive something like that for a day. Incredible machine!
Did you see how quickly it revs! Fantastic car👍
crank up the BOOST
@@Freimopp777 I was looking for this comment :-)
Here we are 30 years later and modern technology has brought us identical weight sports car from Gazoo "RACING" with... wait for it... 228BHP!! It never trickles down for the blue collar worker. Only the rich "deserve" real sports cars even 30 years later.
@@idokwatcher2062 Gazoo make porsche parts?
I read recently that the 78 930 was tested by a US magazine when new. The numbers they got were over 250 HP AT THE REAR WHEELS. Even accounting for less loss because its an aircooled rear engine car, (no water pump or driveshaft) that is impressive considering the factory claimed power for the US model was 265 HP MOL. But this would probably not be the first or last time that Porsche was "conservative" in their claims.
Cracking car and history. Never realised Litchfield was that busy a place so must be doing something right.
@@integralevideo Utter rubbish.
Yeah - marketing
Yes, crazy busy. I was shocked at number of ramps and cars there.
Had my Ariel Atom serviced there a couple of times as the Ariel factory were quoting several months waiting times (pre-pandemic) and always found them excellent and competitive on pricing. Lots of interesting exotics (including supercars etc,not just Nissan GTRs) to go and browse around while you wait for your car to be done. MM
To be honest based on the results they get from GTRs compared to the rest of the world their work is pretty average.
Great video Harry, regarding the speedo, I think it would be difficult for anyone to ever assume that this modification had been carried out.
As an ex-Porsche tech, I would advise to fit a cover of that “brilliant idea” of the three uncovered fuses in the rear left of the engine bay. There isn’t a Porsche cover but I recall they are available from several Porsche specialists in Germany. There is also a cover for the relay board, another Porsche “brilliant idea”.
There are numerous “brilliant ideas” on the 930, it’s just amazing that within its 15 year lifespan, they were never rectified, as virtually all could have been done at zero cost (the car was expensive enough…)
They range from electrical items in the line of fire from road spray, to the atrociously designed fuse box under the front bonnet
Until flashed on the motorway due to false assumptions regarding speed calculations
My 2016 Ford Transit has taken over as king of shitty designs.
A gorgeous Porsche, a load of GT-Rs and Billy Idol on the stereo. That’s the recipe for a good day.
Don't know if it's just me but i love how Porsche's hunker down at the rear when giving it full send.
If anyone else in the celebrity world owned this car I'd hate them for it - but the thing I like about Harry is the idea that I could be there with him and loving it together. He's like my Dad, but with a love of cars as big as my own. No envy at all. Well, maybe a little bit... lol.
Finally!! I’ve been waiting for this follow-up on this and your doing everything I wished, mainly dyno and explanation of the 11 mpg, which really annoyed me
I'd have thought the figures on Harry's paper maps vs the odometer reading in Spain might have given the game away much earlier?
Your Spanish trip video inspired me Harry and I’d like to thank you. I’ve been driving around Spain and Portugal for the past week, aided by the Michelin map you recommended and enjoying the scenic routes through national parks and gorgeous countryside. I also took a ferry across the Bay of Biscay, Plymouth to Santander, and I’ll be staying a night in a Parador hotel as recommended by you. The roads here are glorious and as you reported they’re so much quieter than UK roads that one can really enjoy the drive rather than always feeling hemmed in by other traffic. Once again, many thanks for the inspiration.
Hi Harry,I have said previously,You are in a league of your own, Truly you are the best at presention,Personal delivery Perfection personified,As you know means can not be improved upon.
What a beauty, I had no less than a dozen posters of 930s on my walls as a kid growing up in the 80s. Fantastic video, keep them coming, we'll keep watching!
I must say Harry ive been watching your content for a while and very much enjoy each video but this is my favorite by far. The update on such a gorgeous 911, the Litchfield tour and then the MPG story...i cracked up laughing in the km vs mile discrepancy source....please never stop behing the most humble and knowledgeable auto journo in the planet....
Love the miles per gallon mistake! Love it to see that even the pro’s can make these human kind of mistakes, thank you for your honesty Harry, great video as always!
I think what makes Harry's Garage and Ian Tyrrell's videos so watcheable for enthusiasts is they're the embodiment of what Walter Rohrl meant when he said "You can't treat a car like a human being - a car needs love".
What a car (you have been maligning) Harry! Very special and an even better buy than you initially thought.
Brave of you to admit this faux pas, but a relief at the same time.
I love this car, a worthy addition to the garage.
Oh dear! Another 'absolute keeper' in the collection!
I feel a day of reckoning may be coming for the 'one-in one-out' policy!
Good news on the MPG. Loved the Spanish trip!. I found a great vid - "Check out Why 70% of Spain is Empty" from RealLifeLore - explaining why the parts of Spain Harry went through are so empty.
I love this car! My personal favourite in Harry's Garage and i've never been bothered for 930 Turbo's previously.
This level of geeky detail is why this is the best motorcar channel on RUclips...
Great that the mysteries of this car are now revealed and good to see that you instincts for great engineering were spot on!
I have watched many of Harry's videos. This is the first car I actually want.
What a hilarious story regarding the fuel economy issue. Proves that every the brightest of car minds can be occasionally fooled. Thoroughly enjoy your videos
The best engine mods you can do with a 930 engine is a Porsche 3.6 crank (to make a 3.45 engine, with correct Mahle pistons), twin-plugged heads, GT2 cams, matched ball-bearing turbo and a Motec or similar engine management system. Hand-fabbed exhaust. Individual throttle bodies if you are a true nut. I've done all but the last. 512 hp/467 ft-lbs to the wheels at 1.0 bar on pump gas. With a bunch of supporting tranny, clutch, brake and suspension mods. These cars are real platforms for stupid power on a light body, but handle with care. You can tell by Harry's voice how much he digs the raw, analog feel of this car...
I am running a similar setup that you have Chris at TurboKraft built my motor but running on E85 with MotecM130, I think we ran 621@1bar543ftlbs with a Arizona out side temp @110f so not excactly cool Temps like these old girls like.Are you on Pelican?
@@kevinbodman1011 I remember Chris. He was at the shop where I got my car built, then left for TurboKraft, as I recall. My builder was Bob Holcombe. When I knew Chris, he wasn't yet a grease monkey, more of a supervisor/customer interface kind of dude. Nice guy, though, a definite enthusiast. I'm not on Pelican anymore. I had kids, and now my track days are pretty scarce...., and this car as built is not a daily-type automobile...
I like the red undercoating 🤩
Harry’s Garage. Pretty much all we watch now. Keep them coming. 🇨🇦
The standard Porsche 930 cam timing's like the same they'd fit to Your lawn mower...."
Incredibly geeky? Of course! And that's why I am here. Proper petrol-head content brought to me in proper British understatement-style. It doesn't get better than that, does it?
Oh sometimes it does ..... discussing gearbox-damage or Espada engines with another classic British gentleman comes to mind.
Thank You for "incredibly geeky" in "Harry's Garage", Sir.
And by the way, thank You for convincing Ian Tyrell to start his own RUclips channel.
Great to see you're having fun with this car, Harry. I am owning the "twin" of it... at least engine wise... for 22 years now and can therefore relate to your enthusiasm very well.
Its pretty much perfect - well done Harry
Great car! I owned a 911 Turbo S2 (25 special order cars, re-engineered by Andial in LA under Porsche supervision), and it was a 3.4 litre engine that I had dyno'd at 378 hp. Porsche had it listed at 330 bhp. Not a Turbo S, but a great car (with a bit of oversteer).
Possibly my favourite car in the garage.
I love your 930. Its interesting how Porsche evolved from air to water cooling. A 930 turbo is 300 or 330 Bhp for the S, the water cooled N/A 996 is 300 or 320Bhp, very similar outputs, evolution.
Fab 930 Turbo S, must be one of the best ones on the planet. Love the colour and the spec! Great video as always. Thanks Harry!
I covet this car even more now. An absolute beauty.
Me too. It’s intensely desirable.
Best car channel on YT. Its like the old Top Gear, many of us grew up with. Just about the cars, not the silly presenters.
This car could make 100hp and I’d still drive this car. Such a beautiful machine!
In that last shot of the car accelerating away, the exhaust sound was great. To my ear, it sounds more like a race car than a road car. You can tell right away that there is a lot of fun to be had with that car.
This MPG "solution" is wonderful! I'm so glad you figured this out. Never a dull moment with an imported export lol
absolutely love your enthusiasm harry! its just what life is all about....love it
That must be a one of a kind gauge...funny and wonderful car. If I won the powerball and could buy any car on the planet, that would be the one I'd buy. Thank you for sharing it with us all....boy I wish I could buy it off you. :) And not, it is in a the best home on the planet by far.
Gawd, that has to be one of the most beautiful Porsches ever. Stunning.
This is my fave of all your collection. 👌👌
What a brilliant machine Harry, some genuine 934 DNA in there . A lifetime ago here in Australia a good friend had an ‘83 930 with the full Kremer conversion made available through Porsche Cars Australia . If memory serves the cars was around $185K , the Kremer kit an additional $50K. Cams,Bigger turbo, adjustable boost knob between the seats,delete clock -add digital Kremer boost gauge, exhaust that looks ostensibly similar to yours, massive inter cooler and modified whale tail to accomodate it . They were few and far between and had circa 400 hp like your beautiful car . Life changing for a 13 year old whose weekend job when the owner was away, was to reverse out into the street and wash it . One of life’s best memories .
5pm on a Sunday is the new 20:00 Sunday evening. Fascinating content as ever and keep the technical stuff coming Harry.
Stunning car.
My favourite in your collection. Fabulous
Thank you, Harry. Looks beautiful, sounds beautiful and goes well. Incredible performance hike without any increase in stress. As for being a bit of a plonker? Well, you can't get everything right! But you certainly got a result with this one! ENJOY!
Sunday late afternoon and watching Harry. Brilliant and that 930 turbo, What a car.
Great Video. TurboKraft in the states rebuilt mine. Love these cars!
On behalf of car enthusiasts everywhere... you are a very lucky man! It's great that you can share your amazing collection of automobiles with the less fortunate :D
That’s a keeper for sure
One of my favourite all time cars such a beautiful car to look at ❤️
One would have assumed on the trip to Spain you were getting the MPG from fuel used + distance traveled. When those numbers didn't gel that would have triggered the idea that the distance being recorded wasn't right. But we can forgive a man on a great driving holiday producing so much fab content for overlooking that.
One of my fave cars on planet earth Harry. My word yours is so special with the engine mods. She could not be in better hands. Wonderful video.Thanks for sharing.
That is a beautiful car. Never sell it 😍
Fantastic! I could listen to you all day Harry!!
Thanks a lot for the new video Harry, you're the best! Hello from Finland!
I watched this video with some ambient 1980's style synthwave tunes in the background. So good.
I LOVE that car! How fabulous to see you have that pleasant surprise, and fall even deeper in love! Fantastic video. Thanks Harry.
That's crazy, I remember seeing this car broken down on the M27 a good while ago, was a sad sight, I'm glad you got it sorted that motorway is dangerous Harry
Love it and the video Harry ! Ive been spanked in the USA driving my Porsche many times. Yours is the lead dog !
À very special car indeed. That’s a proper racing guru engine upgrade, and still quite a liveable daily driver. Would be a proper GT with a bigger tank for a decent range, despite the still thirsty mpg.
Beautiful car my man!!! Sent this to my brother after he saw a 1987 911 targa in my shop same color I was doing work on. It has a built motor as well, I really love these cars and they're a privilege to drive and work on! I thoroughly enjoyed your video, you won my subscription, I'll be following your adventures from here on out! Cheers from Texas!
Now that is an impressive 930 turbo. Even in this era. It has impressive performance. You are a lucky guy!
Over 20 years ago, I drove a Porsche 930 turbo S on a corporate track day at Goodwood. A left hand drive model that was a recent arrival from Germany. Having first had a few practice laps in other cars, my final car was the Porsche, my all time dream car. I remember very little of those three laps, but sheer exileration.
I feel like a kid has just been on the best field trip ever. Love visiting the Litchfield shop. It’s magnificent. Thanks again Harry for another winner.
Id fell in love with the car. It has such a presence on the road and it is cosmetically beautiful with the wheels
This is a great car video again from the wonderful Harry, more so because Harry has my dream car - Porsche 930 turbo S in sport red.
Thank you & wonderful shot on the motorway
Nice addition to the collection Harry! She’s a beast
What a fantastic video, thanks Harry. I'm so glad your mpg isn't as bad as you thought.
Congrats on getting such a special car, it is a real beauty.
What a fabulous update, got to be be one of my favorites in your collection.
Harry, please never apologize for blasting Billy Idol on the radio. ☺️👍
I like the all the Nissan GTRs and that Type 993. 👌
Harry a lot of us enjoyed your trip to Spain 🇪🇸 in the Porsche. A very interesting update this, of a beautiful looking car with excellent performance.
Beautiful car and very interesting history behind it! Thank you Harry for sharing, as always.
So glad you discovered that the fuel consumption on your recent trip to Spain was much less than you originally thought....I've never seen a speedo recording speed in Km/hr and distance in miles before! All this on the back of finding out the engine has also been modified and puts out more bhp than a standard 930 Turbo S. A truly wonderful car with interesting provenance, improved performance & ultra rare......I'm sure you'll really enjoy this car in the future!
For me, the other great news is that a video on the Lancia Zagato is in the works.......I cant wait! 👍🔥👍
It was the obvious answer - the fahrenheit temperature gave it away.
Nice to see the article about you and this car in the latest Christoporus magazine.
Loved the bit about the kmh/mph problem. Reminded me of a Tulip navigation run I did with my wife which requires dead reckoning using the trip meter. Unfortunately the trip reset and the mph/kmh switch are next to each other in an S2000 and my wife inadvertently switched to kmh! Needless to say we got quite lost!
Love the nerdy details! Thanks Harry
*Very interesting, Porsches often leave me a bit cold but that's glorious*
I love all the classics you bring on the channel but I am in love with this one the modern wheels give it the modern touch make it truly stand out absolutely gorgeous car
I absolutely loved this video, and the detail is just up my street!
This car is for sure a keeper, amazing daily driving capability and high power with no extra boost. And the sound.. oh, the sound!
I remember in 1983 braking down on the M62 West bound, in the dark, in my W reg Ford Capri 1600L. It Happened just above that farmhouse. Wife, 5 year old daughter, 2 Labradors and a boot full of luggage. Found the nearest emergency 'phone and was recovered to the local services. Car repaired and home again.
Let's keep the Hard Shoulder.
Thank you for sharing your luck with us on youtube Harry!
Love the overnight 60% improvement in fuel consumption figures.
Utterly gorgeous 😍 Never get rid of that one Harry!
That’s a very special piece, Harry. Can’t wait for more content on it. Glad you’re planning to keep it. Definitely the right caretaker.
I sold my modded 930, K27 hybrid, 964 IC, cams etc. she put out 354/358 RWHP / RWTQ! And linear power delivery! What a ripper, sold her to fund my 911T to ST build!
This and the Jag Coupe are my two favourite cars you own. That 911 just looks perfect and in the ideal colour too. The red always looks nice with the black accents on an old 911 turbo.
Love the MPG story, what a great car thanks for sharing all these details can tell you really enjoy it. 👍
Harry's collection just gets better and better. Proper cars, driven as they should be.
What a lovely video update, always enjoyable and with the added experts that get to fettle these fantastic machines is a highlight for me . Please keep them coming.
Where is the Lancia Harry ?
Such a beautiful model the 930, color, trim etc. with that detail from the 934 cylinder heads and 1200 pounds, incredible. Beautiful retro car. Sell it to me!
Wow! What a lovely surprise update. A special 930 indeed ♠️
Great video as always Harry. In my 1973.5 911T I've found the best way to heel and toe is; foot comes off the floor, ball of foot on the brake, and stab at the base of the throttle pedal with the heel (rather than the side of the foot rolling over to the throttle). Hope this helps. Another observation, its remarkable how the 930 Turbo engine revs so quickly from 4000 to redline. Have to be ready for that with a quick shift!
heel and toe: easy fix on a G-series Porsche. you can adjust brake and clutch pedal heights with a couple of spanners
Loverly and looks great what a 930 turbo S.....!! nice to check out background and data get all right in the end....enjoy this Porsche Harry lucky you!
