Hey all -
can someone point me to a good comprehensive build list / budget for a 3.0 conversion on a 1.7L vehicle? It has been pointed out by numerous posters that it is hard to budget for, and that whatever number I choose is going to be too low - but it might be useful for the forum to have a fairly complete "what do you need" list for the inexperienced amongst us - at the LOW end of the range. I realize that for each item if you go nuts and buy new / gold plate the stuff it will be lots more, but in order to get a project on the road at the low end, what am I looking at????.....I'll start (but I envision this in an excel spreadsheet with numbers low/high/ideal next to the items). I'll compile the excel sheet and share with the group when we're done - 2.7 - 3.0 - 3.2L Donor engine - running $4,000 - 5,000 - $10,000 Refurb if needed - $??? CIS brains or Carbs - $??? Clutch - $???? Trans (915?) - $2,000 - 3,000 Engine Tin - $??? Oil Cooling system - cooler and lineset - $1,000 Upgraded CVs - ???? 5 Lug rear hubs - ???? 5 Lug Fronts w/ brake upgrade - $1,000 Fuel distribution system - $???? What am I missing? And Andy - how do we share excel files or similar with the group? Cheers and Happy Holidays everyone - I hope Santa brings us all good Porsche stuff this year! td |

The only issue with the fuel pump on a CIS car, is that CIS runs at something crazy like 80 PSI, most other FI systems will required less than half that pressure.

The warm up regulator will further modify the pressure from about 45 - 55 psig based on throttle opening and temperature of the engine. Ebay CIS Fuel Pumps Sorry, I was off on the current pricing ... $129 - $495 |
