Porsche 930 3.3 Turbo purchase advice

On what should be considered when buying and selling a Porsche 930 Turbo.

Porsche 930 3.3 Turbo purchase advice

The 930 3.0 Turbo was built from 1975 to 1977. The 1978 930 Turbo was introduced for the 3.3 model year, the L series. A basic distinction should be made between US and RdW (rest of the world) or vehicles from European countries. In the US models, the injection and exhaust systems were modified due to emissions regulations. Ultimately, this resulted in a lower output of 265 hp instead of 300 hp.

visual differences

Visually, the 930 3.3 Turbo differed from the significantly larger rear spoiler only by a slightly modified bumper and side indicators in the fenders. From a technical point of view, there are some changes for this. We will therefore show you what to look out for when buying a 930 Turbo.

Technical Differences

The biggest change is of course the increase in displacement from 2.994 cm³ to 3.299 cm³ and the use of an intercooler. Of the Porsche The 930 Turbo was the first production vehicle to be sold with an intercooler. The use of the intercooler made it possible to reduce the charge air temperature from 140-150°C to 50-60°C, which led to more power due to the higher compression. Furthermore, a smaller turbocharger could be installed. The transmission, on the other hand, was not fundamentally redesigned. In the 1985 model year, the shift travel was shortened, but it was used unchanged until 1988. The G1989 50-speed manual transmission followed in the 5 model year.

Aside from the engine, the brake system of the 930 3.3 Turbo has been significantly upgraded. Instead of the 2-piston fixed caliper brakes of the 3.0, there were 4-piston aluminum fixed calipers, which Porsche 917 racing car were derived.

The technical changes in Porsche 930 3.0 Turbo are generally rather minor. However, that is interesting Porsche-Exclusive program, available from 1983, allowing customers to order the factory power increase (WLS) to 330 hp. This option was particularly beneficial for those who wanted greater resilience and performance, since the Porsche 930 Turbo 3.0 was not designed for continuous full-throttle driving. However, many enthusiasts and owners are unaware of this fact. The Porsche 930 Turbo 3.3, on the other hand, especially in connection with WLS, was developed by Porsche carefully revised and improved with many small details to increase its resistance. An example of this are the titanium/stainless steel sealing rings on the cylinder bases, which allow better heat dissipation and thus ensure greater stability at full throttle.

What weaknesses does it have Porsche 930 Turbo?

It is Porsche 930 3.3 Turbo more robust than its predecessor 930 3.0 Turbo, but both have similar weaknesses. A loss of oil on the cylinder heads is often the first sign of a torn stud bolt. In addition, hydraulic chain tensioners were only installed at the factory from the 1984 model year. A conversion of older vehicles to this technology later Porsche 930 3.3 Turbo is therefore recommended. As with all turbocharged vehicles, the Porsche 930 Turbo the turbocharger is not immune to damage. If there is a defect in the original 3LDZ turbocharger, we recommend installing the K27 turbocharger, which is also used in the WLS variant. Another weak point is the wastegate, which can leak and thus the target boost pressure is not achieved.

our recommendation

A Porsche 930 Turbo, whether 3.0 or 3.3, should be used with a Porsche- Specialists can be bought who can assess the quality and are also available after the purchase, because the turbo models are generally more maintenance-intensive than comparable models with naturally aspirated engines. Our recommendation is to buy a late turbo from model year 1985, because often the young vehicles are actually in a better condition. We also recommend a classic color combination such as Indian red with black leather or midnight blue metallic with dark blue leather or, for early vehicles, silver metallic with tartan red and blue based on Louise Piech's vehicle.
