Porsche 928 

Slumping sales of the 911 in the mid-1970s seemed to confirm that the model was approaching the end of its economic life cycle. Fuhrmann envisioned the new range-topping grand tourer model as being the best possible combination of a sports coupé and a luxury sedan. This would set it apart from the 911, with its relatively spartan interior and true sports car performance. The targets were that the car had to compete on par with offerings from Mercedes-Benz and BMW while also being successful in the United States, Porsche's main market at the time.

Several drivetrain layouts were considered during early development, including rear- and mid-engine, but most were dismissed because of technical and legislative difficulties. Having the engine, transmission, catalytic converter(s) and exhaust all cramped into a small rear engine bay made emission and noise control difficult which were the problems Porsche had with the 911. After deciding that the mid-engine layout did not allow enough room in the passenger compartment, a front-engine, rear-wheel drive layout was chosen

The finished car debuted at the 1977 Geneva Motor Show before going on sale later that year as a 1978 model. Although it won early acclaim for its comfort, power and futuristic design, sales were slow. Base prices were much higher than that of the previous range-topping 911 model and the 928's front-engined, water-cooled design alienated many Porsche purists.

The 928 featured a large, front-mounted and water-cooled V8 engine driving the rear wheels. Originally displacing 4.5 L and featuring a single overhead camshaft design, it was rated at 219 hp (163 kW; 222 PS) for the North American market and 240 PS (177 kW; 237 hp) in other markets. Porsche upgraded the engine from mechanical to electronic fuel injection in 1980 for US models, although power remained the same. This design marked a major change in direction for Porsche (started with the introduction of the 924 in 1976), whose cars had until then used only rear- or mid-mounted air-cooled flat engines with four or six cylinders.

Porsche utilised a transaxle in the 928 to help achieve 50/50 front/rear weight distribution, aiding the car's balance. Although it weighed more than the difficult-to-handle 911, its more neutral weight balance and higher power output gave it similar performance on the track. The 928 was regarded as the more relaxing car to drive at the time. It came with either a five-speed dog leg manual transmission, or a Mercedes-Benz-derived automatic transmission, originally with three speeds, with four-speed from 1983 in North America and 1984 in other markets. For the first generation cars, 1978 & 1979, the majority of cars were fitted with the less expensive 5 speed manual gearbox while the optional 3 speed automatic was much scarcer. As the model years continued, this ratio evened out and then finally more cars had the automatic transmission. The exact percentage of manual and automatic gearbox cars for the entire production run is not known.

The body, styled by Wolfgang Möbius under the guidance of Anatole Lapine, was mainly galvanized steel, but the doors, front wing, front fenders, and hood were made of aluminium to save weight. It had a substantial luggage area accessed via a large hatchback. Newly developed polyurethane elastic bumpers were integrated into the nose and tail and covered in body-coloured plastic; an unusual feature for the time that aided the car visually and reduced its drag. Another unusual feature was the pop-up headlamps which were based on the units found on the Lamborghini Miura and were integrated into the front wings.

Although it never sold in the numbers Fuhrmann envisioned, the 928 developed an avid following and had an 18-year production run.

AMG S63 Cabrio 4MATIC+ "The Luxury Cabriolet with Open Air feeling".

Back in the days the versatile AMG 4.0L biturbo V8 engine in the S63 Cabrio 4MATIC+ takes peak performance to a new level at 450kW (612hp). Maximum torque attains a new best value of 900Nm.

It is available over a broad engine speed range of 2750 to 4500rpm and so provides a feeling of effortless superiority in every accelerator pedal position. A sprint from zero to 100 km/h is absolved in 3.5 seconds, and this dynamic acceleration only ends at the governed top speed of 250km/h (with AMG Driver's package: 300km/h).

The advanced AMG 4.0L V8 biturbo engine utilises well-proven twin turbocharging, with the two chargers not located outside on the cylinder banks, but rather between them in the V of the cylinders.

The advantages of the "hot inner V" are a compact engine design, an immediate response from the twin-scroll turbochargers and low exhaust gas emissions thanks to optimum air flow for the close-coupled catalytic converters.

Two twin-scroll turbochargers are deployed for the first time to boost performance and improve responsiveness further. The housing is divided into two parallel flow passages. Combined with two separate exhaust ducts in the exhaust manifold, this makes it possible to control the exhaust gases on the turbine wheel separately.

The exhaust gas from the first and fourth cylinders of the cylinder bank is fed into one duct and exhaust gas from the second and third cylinders to the other duct. The aim is to prevent the individual cylinders from having mutually adverse effects on the gas cycle.

DS9: "Life Support"

After months of secret negotiations, Kain Winn and Vedek Bareil are close to securing a peace treaty between Bajor and Cardassia. When Bareil is severely injured in a shuttle accident, Winn relocates the talks to Deep Space Nine, so that the vedek can continue to advise her from the station's infirmary. Although Doctor Bashir recommends extensive rest, Bareil insists on any experimental treatment that will allow him to help the kai...even at the cost of his own life.

The A-plot of this episode is pretty good, but every time I sit down to watch it, I get a sinking feeling when it starts out on the B-plot. In general, I like how Jake Sisko and Nog overcome their cultural differences to remain best friends. But their disastrous double date, and Jake's scheme to patch things up, feels like something out of an unfunny sitcom.

The peace treaty itself isn't important to the Bareil story--he could have been advising Winn on any number of important political issues, and it wouldn't make much difference. Even so, I like that the show built up Cardassian-Bajoran hostilities and then resolved them here rather quietly. The treaty doesn't matter a lot in the long run, but it will loom over several episodes in a way that adds texture to Deep Space Nine's neighborhood.

The basic conflict, between Bareil's work and his personal wellbeing, holds up. But it's a little shaky in places where you can tell the original idea was for Bashir to use questionable procedures to reanimate a dead man. Bareil's near-death experience in the first act doesn't really feel necessary for the finished story, but I can see how it would have played into a Bashir-as-Frankenstein arc. Replacing several of Bareil's organs with artificial implants also ends up feeling excessive, especially since they never bother to make Bareil look like he's undergone multiple surgeries. Which brings us to the robot brain.

Bashir's last big move is to replace the left half of Bareil's brain with a positronic implant. This has always bothered me, since Star Trek had firmly established positronic brains as something you'd use to build a fully artificial person, i.e., Lt. Commander Data. Replacing part of Bareil's brain with part of Data's brain sounds a bit like swapping his kidneys for a catalytic converter. This seems like a very controversial, very difficult form of surgery...but within two minutes of bringing it up, Bashir has already finished, and Bareil doesn't have a hair out of place! It's a good thing Philip Anglim delivers a chilling performance of a man who's been halfway turned into Mr. Data, because otherwise you might totally fail to notice that Bashir has opened up his head and scooped out a chunk of his brain.

Throttle Day - Acceleration Tips!

Let's dive into the key components affecting automobile acceleration:

🔧 Fuel Filter: The fuel filter removes impurities from the fuel before it reaches the engine. A clogged fuel filter can restrict fuel flow leading to decreased engine performance and sluggish acceleration. Regular replacement helps maintain optimal fuel flow and acceleration.

🔧 Fuel Pump: The fuel pump delivers fuel from the tank to the engine. If the fuel pump is faulty or failing, it may not deliver enough fuel to the engine causing poor acceleration or stalling. Signs of a failing fuel pump include sputtering or hesitation during acceleration.

🔧 Fuel Injector: Fuel injectors spray fuel into the engine's combustion chamber. Clogged or malfunctioning fuel injectors can lead to uneven fuel distribution resulting in rough idling, poor acceleration, and decreased fuel efficiency. Regular cleaning or replacement of fuel injectors is essential for smooth acceleration.

🔧 Catalytic Converter: The catalytic converter reduces harmful emissions by converting toxic gases into less harmful ones. A failing catalytic converter can cause engine performance issues including reduced acceleration and power. Symptoms of a failing catalytic converter include decreased acceleration and a noticeable decrease in fuel efficiency.

To optimize acceleration and maintain peak performance, ensure regular maintenance of these components and address any issues promptly. Trust HHD Motors to keep your vehicle running smoothly and accelerating with power!

Tasteful Porsche 991.1 Turbo Build Pays Tribute To 1973 Carrera RS

If you are looking to make your 2014 Porsche 911 991.1 Turbo stand out from the crowd, then you are in the right place! Whether you’re a professional racer, a weekend enthusiast, or just someone who appreciates a good car, Vivid Racing knows all the parts and accessories you need to take your fine German automobile to the next level.

Recently, we’ve elevated this Porsche to new heights by integrating some of our top-notch parts. The result? An incredible transformation that makes this 991 Turbo truly stand out. From performance upgrades to luxurious touches, our Porsche 911 is what we find to be the perfect balance between all the adventure capabilities while maintaining its reliable daily driving duties.

Our Goal for this Porsche 911 991.1 Turbo

– Enhance driving performance and add character – Unlock even more of its potential with basic bolt-ons

To pay tribute to the classic Carrera RS, the aim was to incorporate elements of its livery. This involved making the 991.1 platform even more appealing by adding OEM+ upgrades. The exterior was transformed from its original white color to a vibrant green reminiscent of the Carrera RS, creating a visually striking and creatively customized appearance for this 911.

ARMYTRIX Valvetronic Exhaust System

We started off our upgrades with the VR Performance Valvetronic Exhaust System for the Porsche 991.1 Turbo. This exhaust system is designed to provide maximum performance, sound quality, and durability. With its valvetronic technology, you can control the sound of your engine from inside the cabin with a simple switch – giving you complete control over how loud or quiet your ride is at any given time! The exhaust notes from the ARMYTRIX system are monstrous. Not only does this exhaust system look and sound great, but it also increases horsepower and torque while reducing back pressure in order to maximize efficiency in your engine.

Exhaust Benefits 

– Headers and intake open up airflow – Reduces backpressure in turbo platforms – Provides horsepower and torque gains – Improves exhaust sound

VRP High Flow Headers

These new VR Performance tubular headers for the Porsche 991 Turbo or Turbo S really show off the performance you can get out of this engine. The design of the headers are a 3 into 1 style that the twin turbo REALLY benefits from. Unlike the 996 and 997 Turbo, the 991 headers are very restrictive and the clam shell design prohibits the turbos from spooling up quickly. 

Headers Benefits

– Increases airflow – Reduces backpressure – Increases Horsepower & Torque – Improves exhaust sound

VR Tuned ECU Flash

To really get the most out of our modifications we decided to get an ECU flash from VR Tuned for this Porsche 991.1 Turbo. This optimizes engine performance, enhancing horsepower and torque while maintaining fuel efficiency. We opted the tune with:

Vmax Off – This is an increase or reduction of the maximum speed limit.

Race Exhaust – This option is for those running full race exhaust systems.

Pops & Bangs (burble tune) – This is the result of an ignition delay which creates an exhaust detonation when the throttle pedal is released. 

ECU Flash Benefits

– Eliminates CEL codes caused by headers or high-flow catalytic converters installation – Properly optimizes and adjusts fuel and ignition maps for the new modifications – Provides an additional 100 wheel horsepower over stock

VRP Upgraded Diverter Valve Pair

The factory diverter valves are prone to leaking pressure under increased boost. To help keep the boost pressure constant all the way to redline, upgrading the stock diverter valve to the VR Racing Diverter Valve Kit was necessary. These valves are CNC machined 6061 aluminum which have been precision engineered to fit with the stock or aftermarket boost hoses. The internal construction of the valve uses a machined piston with proper o-rings to ensure a smooth motion that is air tight to prevent any boost leaks. The spring has been engineered to hold moderate to aggressive boost increases on your turbo car. 

Diverter Valve Benefits

– Helps eliminate back pressure – Recirculates boost pressure for better throttle response and less turbo lag

H&R Sport Springs

H&R has introduced their Sport Spring lowering kit tailored for the Porsche 911 Turbo | Turbo S. These Sport Springs lower the vehicle’s center of gravity, minimizing body roll and improving its handling capabilities. This also helps with a more aggressive stance, all while retaining the factory suspension components. All H&R springs are crafted from a special (hf) 54SiCr6 spring steel to ensure premium quality and performance. 

Sport Spring Benefits

– Maintaines all factory Porsche suspension components for reliability – Lowers the center of gravity for better handling – Gives the car a lower, sportier look while keeping the factory handling

VRP Cold Air Intake Kit

Unlocking maxium power starts with airflow, and the Porsche 991 Turbo knows it well. Upgrading the stock intake system in this beast can be quite the challenge due to its redesigned engine bay. But look no further! Our kit is here to revolutionize the game. We’ve retained the factory intake snorkel, channeling airflow directly to our twin cone air filters. These filters aren’t just any—they feature a high-flow filtration design to stop more bad particles while keeping an extremely high efficiency. Each filter comes with an intake tube that is powdercoated wrinkle black made from 6061 heat treated aluminum and TIG welded. 

The VRP cold air intake kit is a game-changer, giving the Turbo quick throttle response, almost like driving in perpetual sport mode all the time. Need proof? With this kit, we were able to pick up 0.1sec quicker 0-60mph.  Dyno tests will reveal a gain of about 15ft/lbs of torque at the peak while horsepower gain is 10awhp at peak RPM.

Cold Air Intake Benefits

– Increases air flow – Improves sound and appearance – Increases Horsepower and Torque

VR Forged D03-R Wheel Set

No matter what kind of car you have, nothing makes a statement quite like some tasteful wheels! We chose the VR Forged D03-R Wheels powedercoated in signal green. This touch pays homage to classic Porsche Carrera RS livery. For this build, a classic 10-spoke with an outer ring design gives it that racing sporty look while still maintaining an air of sophistication and elegance thanks to their unique design. It’s definitely an upgrade that can’t be ignored! Plus they come in 20 x 9 +45 front & 20 x 12 +45 rear sizes so they fit perfectly on the 991.1 Turbo without any issues whatsoever.

Forged Wheel Benefits – Improve performance and aesthetics – Provides a “Euro motorsports flare” compared to previous 5-spoke wheels – Increases strength and provides weight savings over factory wheels

VR Aero Carbon Fiber Wing Lip Spoiler

The Porsche 991 Turbo and Turbo S are incredibly designed vehicles in performance, handling, and aerodynamics.  But with all 911 body styles, there is one thing that really makes the iconic shape stand out over stock vehicles. That is, of course, the addition of a more aggressive rear spoiler.  For years people have been upgrading the rear ends to feature a GT2 or GT3 style rear spoilers.  With the 991 Turbo, the factory hydraulic rear spoiler and front spoiler work hand and hand to provide incredible aerodynamic ability. At 300kph, the 991 Turbo can produce 132kg of downforce, allowing it to lap the Nordschleife two seconds faster than in the normal mode. To keep these incredible stats but add extra styling, we added one final touch – VR Aero Carbon Fiber Wing Lip Spoiler for a little extra pizzazz!

This is a simple add on piece that installs in less than 30 minutes.  It allows it to fit snuggly on the stock spoiler curves without drilling or cutting into anything.  It wraps around the front and rear of the factory wing blade to lock in place. The lightweight carbon fiber piece is styled to match other VR Aero carbon fiber parts.  

Wing Lip Spoiler Features

– Retains the factory function in the up or down position – Requires no special tools to install – 2×2 Carbon weave Carbon Fiber – Gloss coat with 3K UV resistant finish – Fits over stock ducts for easy install – Perfect fitment

VR Aero Carbon Fiber Side Air Ducts

For a touch of sporty elegance, we installed the VR Aero Carbon Fiber Side Air Ducts. These lightweight carbon fiber pieces are not only styled to match other VR Aero carbon fiber parts but also adds a unique aesthetic appeal to the 991 Turbo. These air vents provide additional cooling and lend a bold and aggressive look to the vehicle. 

Side Air Duct Features

– Requires no special tools to install – 2×2 Carbon weave Carbon Fiber – Gloss coat with 3K UV resistant finish – Fits over stock ducts for easy install – Perfect fitment

VR Aero Carbon Fiber Rear Diffuser

To take the exterior to the next level, we’ve added the VR Aero carbon fiber diffuser, and let’s just say, it’s a game-changer for that stylish, aggressive vibe you crave! Our goal was to find best performing upgrades and develop them at affordable price. This rear diffuser isn’t just an addition; it’s a statement. Crafted to seamlessly attach to the OEM rear bumper, it’s designed to flow the lines of the rear skirt. This carbon fiber piece not only adds flair but amplifies the rear end of the 991, making heads turn wherever you go.

Rear Diffuser Features

– Requires no special tools to install – 2×2 Carbon weave Carbon Fiber – Gloss coat with 3K UV resistant finish – Fits over stock ducts for easy install – Perfect fitment

VRP Porsche PDK Cup Style Shifter Stick

Last but not least, we’ve added the VR Performance Cup Shifter for more fun and engaging shifting experience. This shifter was designed to give PDK owners a whole new experience in driving their car. Mimicked after the factory cup car style shift knob and assembly, this makes banging through the gears a lot more fun. We also wanted to maintain OEM+ style for this build as Porsche interiors already have great features from the factory. The height of the shifter is increased about 3 inches over the stock PDK lever. This puts the Cup Shifter at a great position in reference to the steering wheel. You now can have quick hand placement from the steering wheel to shift knob to smash through the gears like a pro!

Sifter Features

– Added longer shifter knob with button actuator – Gives sequential style shifting feel – Gives interior OEM+ look – CNC machined from 6061 aluminum – Cup car style shift knob – Carbon fiber center tube – Easy installation

Automotive design

These outstanding technical advancements are not made without economic consequences. According to a study by Ward’s Communications Incorporated, the average cost for a new American car increased $4,700 (in terms of the value of the dollar in 2000) between 1980 and 2001 because of mandated safety and emission-control performance requirements (such as the addition of air bags and catalytic converters). New requirements continued to be implemented in subsequent years. The addition of computer technology was another factor driving up car prices, which increased by 29 percent between 2009 and 2019. This is in addition to the consumer costs associated with engineering improvements in fuel economy, which may be offset by reduced fuel purchases.

Vehicle design depends to a large extent on its intended use. Automobiles for off-road use must be durable, simple systems with high resistance to severe overloads and extremes in operating conditions. Conversely, products that are intended for high-speed, limited-access road systems require more passenger comfort options, increased engine performance, and optimized high-speed handling and vehicle stability. Stability depends principally on the distribution of weight between the

Porsche 962 CR Schuppan

The Schuppan-Porsche 962CR, a road-going version of the Porsche 962, was the brainchild of Porsche factory driver and 1983 Le Mans winner Vern Schuppan and Toshio Terada, Managing Director of Art Sports, the high-performance car import and marketing division of Art Corporation, Japan. ‍ The two had a shared ambition to create the ultimate supercar. Art Sports had the marketing vision and Vern Schuppan Limited (VSL) the capability in design, R & D and manufacturing. The 962CR was a wildly ambitious project, which swallowed millions of dollars of R & D costs before being cruelly struck down by the stock market crash of 1992. As a result, only four of a projected fifty 962 CR chassis were ever produced, and this car was the last produced by Schuppan's original company VSL. ‍ The 962CR featured high tech carbon composite bodywork and moulded monocoque and was fitted with 500hp-plus 962/71 3.2 litre, fully air-cooled twin-turbo engine with catalytic converters and silencers. Transmission is via a racing 962 type 5-speed synchromesh gearbox with limited-slip differential.

From the custom ‘Team Schuppan’ brake callipers to the CRT TV - which display a live feed from the reversing camera - to the leather-trimmed suspension arm gators and headlamp pod surrounds, the 962CR is packed to the brim with fascinating and well-considered detailing and high build quality. The Schuppan 962CR was truly designed to be a usable and luxurious road version of the car that Porsche designed to win Le Mans.  ‍

AMG S63 Cabrio 4MATIC+ "The Luxury Cabriolet with Open Air feeling".

The versatile AMG 4.0L biturbo V8 engine in the S63 Cabrio 4MATIC+ takes peak performance to a new level at 450kW (612hp). Maximum torque attains a new best value of 900Nm. It is available over a broad engine speed range of 2750 to 4500rpm and so provides a feeling of effortless superiority in every accelerator pedal position. A sprint from zero to 100 km/h is absolved in 3.5 seconds, and this dynamic acceleration only ends at the governed top speed of 250km/h (with AMG Driver's package: 300km/h).

The advanced AMG 4.0L V8 biturbo engine utilises well-proven twin turbocharging, with the two chargers not located outside on the cylinder banks, but rather between them in the V of the cylinders. The advantages of the "hot inner V" are a compact engine design, an immediate response from the twin-scroll turbochargers and low exhaust gas emissions thanks to optimum air flow for the close-coupled catalytic converters.

Two twin-scroll turbochargers are deployed for the first time to boost performance and improve responsiveness further. The housing is divided into two parallel flow passages. Combined with two separate exhaust ducts in the exhaust manifold, this makes it possible to control the exhaust gases on the turbine wheel separately.

The exhaust gas from the first and fourth cylinders of the cylinder bank is fed into one duct and exhaust gas from the second and third cylinders to the other duct. The aim is to prevent the individual cylinders from having mutually adverse effects on the gas cycle.
