That rear coolant flange is actually 5-axis CNC machined, not cast ;) I love that intake box and the way you mounted the heat exchangers, very nicely done! The sheet metal under that nose panel was actually a mounting point for plastic ducting that promoted laminar airflow to the OEM radiator. It also served as a structural impact crumple zone part of the chassis.... But since this is a rally build you won't need that where you're going! This whole series is a huge motivator to get my street 07k 944 build 'finished', even though it already rev's to 7500 NA and scares me a little in the corners XD
Keep giving Mike old Golfs and 911s to rebuild, we will keep the ad money flowing :P Loved his wide body drift build and this rally build is just as cool!
Mike, Your coolant tank is quite yellowed. Both of my 944s have a yellow tank which indicates it is very old and oxidized. The reservoir tank is under pressure and it is very common for it to start leaking profusely once it reaches old age (both of mine just exploded in the Texas heat). I would highly recommend buying a new one considering the rest of your cooling system is so nice and you will be dumping turbo heat now.
CAD = Cardboard Assisted Design Therefore I have no idea what difference you are talking about comparing with all day work??? Absolutely beautiful! both the car and production of the series, relaxing at its best!
Car looks great, did you use a scanner of the engine bay at the start of your project to get a idea of space for everything? Have you guys ever scaned a MK3 engine bay for the same reason?
No, the engine bay wasn't scanned. Some rough measurements, but most of it was Mike eyeing it. He does scan for the suspension. which is in future episodes!
Mike, Great build...Definitely learning a lot about this swap. Nice augmentation to the BB series of videos. How are you dealing with the three outlets on the stock thermostat housing base?
I Like that as a builder he doesn't have : "While I'm In There" Moments. I would be completely lost the way I do stuff.. new everything just to crash it on first Stage ....
well is it not also kinda good that waater return is at the back now alot of other engines like the mx5 that have both the water necks in the front and with some moderret power it runs alot hotter at cylinder nr4 but in this case would it also not help with the cooling with it being in the back
this build is gonna be sick, was already a fan of the previous series in which the 944 stared

Mike..the building is coming out sweet..👏👏💯🏆
Love it. Good fab skills and planning. Well done sir.
Mike you are so talented wow! incredible work!
Great fabrication!
One of my favorite series, love seeing the progress

Nice job on all the fab work Mike. The car is looking awesome.
Starlet crash was from my country Finland Aiaiaiaiaiaiaiai! You guys are making such a great content 👍
You’d get along well with Bad Obsession Motorsports, fantastic work!
Will you do a rally face-off with Zach's BMW E36 when the build is done????
Seeing things like this makes me wish I wasn't broke.
awesome build mike! looking great man. very interesting and cool to see the progress!
Awesome build, she's gonna haul ass.
Nice inside track on the radiator! CSF doesn't even have that on their website.
Your the best I learn so much keep it up love this build
damn this looks cleannnnn
Very nice work.👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Must be so nice to have a fully equipped auto shop in your own garage at home
I'm surprised you dont delete the popup lights for weight and reliability reasons! But you do amazing work!
too cool good job

thats awesome
What csf radiator did you buy?
I would like to know as well. Cannot find it on the CSF web site.

Didn’t the 924turbo have inner cooler? I always thought the front looked cooler
"Well... I have done some things over the weekend..." How everyone starts explaining their garage time to their wife.
Cleaaaan

Those holes on the nose are the worst that i ever saw in a porsche!
Mike, any chance you'd make and sell me another intake box?
So happy to get like #69
Jaahas ja torille
I wish you had your own channel so I could support you without supporting the company you work for.
