Check out this cool video of a 908 engine on the engine dyno at Rothsport Racing in Tualatin. I had the privilege to not only see this engine during its assembly phase, but they recently had another 908 engine under assembly and on the dyno that I got to see at several phases of the rebuild. Those engines are remarkable in the engineering detail from that era. Every nut, bolt, and stud was titanium and the exhaust layout was impressive.

Here's another of the 908/3, 910 transaxle that wouldn't fit into the last post.
 Just for fun. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) I need 'em when my girls bring home questionable boys. Vibration happens! I'll bet they were trying to get rid of specific harmonics and that they wouldn't last long at that torque... or it was an experiment and they squished out quick! Hmm. I wonder if they'd get rid of the low-ROM vibs in my 993/914????? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Naw. the dual-mass clutch didn't last long did it? But the 908/3 had much larger tires than it's predecessors. I'll bet they were trying to soften the R&P hammering fed back from the axles. Rubber technology was thin back then...
