Truth in social media #2. The massive fail that stops the 928 F136 swap before it really started.

I thought I could do it. One crucial measurement I overlooked is going to cost me a lot of money.

[@stevenharpervw]

thank you for using real measurement

[@orlandosantiago6398]

Im curious as to where the idea of this specific engine came from. I had the impression that it was a swap that was done before and you were just trying to figure out the best way for YOU to do it.

[@ThrottleGrotto]

It was a swap I've seen others use in various cars and I decided to go all in and missed that one crucial measurement

[@orlandosantiago6398]

@@ThrottleGrotto ohh, gotcha. So would probably be a Pioneer in that sense most likely! lol

[@albertfrank6]

Dry sump and a mountain of cash but a boosted 928 would be cool

[@ThrottleGrotto]

There's not many engines that will fit and also have room for a turbo, even with the massive bay

[@francescolagrutta8473]

Have you tried looking into audi v8? It appears to have similarly thin oil pan in the back

[@ThrottleGrotto]

That is a consideration for sure. Not quite as cool, but lots newer and easier to work on. (Abz versions)

Put a portal axel box where the bellhousing should be

[@ThrottleGrotto]

You're not the first to mention that. I can't believe that would be a cheap or low profile solution

[@drewdavis239]

@@ThrottleGrotto maybe use a modified v drive box out of a boat like a old donzi

[@Thumbnail_Investor]

I'm sorry, that's the only advice I can offer.

[@ThrottleGrotto]

Thanks- it's disappointing, but still recoverable at this point.

[@albertfrank6]

Rear mount turbo

[@ThrottleGrotto]

Doable. I think a few people have gone that route in the past. Really the only place to mount it.

@@ThrottleGrotto 5 lbs boot should add 100 hp and methanol instead of an intercooler . Beat that sucker like it owes you money, as long as you don’t drive over the crank mid corner it should be a hoot . A cheap eBay turbo and some exhaust pipe….. just saying

[@OB928]

Would’ve been a cool swap, but just keep it original and improve what you can. 👍🏼

[@Thumbnail_Investor]

I thought you big youtube guys all got a special license or something that allowed you to not run a hood and put the motor or turbos or exhaust at windshield height. If you haven't yet, I'd reach out to youtube support and see where your license is. Maybe it was lost in the mail, or maybe you have you have to apply for it. I guess I assumed they sent them out automatically.

[@ThrottleGrotto]

😆 you must have mistaken me for a big youtuber. I think that license comes with your silver play button.
