Marcel van Maarschalkerweerd is trots op zijn Porsche 924, is dat terecht? Voor Autoweek interviewde en filmde ik de rubriek klokje rond. De eigenaar en de auto staan centraal.

Start of the first race at Oulton. Big mayhem at turn 1 left me 5th but a down on power engine pushed me further and further back.

Portraying the Porsche 924.

1978 Porsche 924 had a failing K-Jetronic System (CIS). It was replaced by a Ford EFI system. The ECU, harness, injectors, EDIS module, coil pack, throttle body, mass air-flow sensor, HEGO sensor, and all other sensors/devices were from a 1991 Ford 2.3L (junk yard), except the fuel pump, fuel rail, and crankshaft position interrupter/sensor. The fuel rail was off of a 1997 Mercury Mystique: it fits directly over the continuous injection ports on the Porsche 2.0L intake. The crank position sensor was redesigned (using the original interrupter wheel and a piece of 60/1000 steel) to have the sensor interrupts at the outer edge, and the number of interrupts had to be doubled – This had to be done in order to fit it to the distributor (as the camshaft spins twice as slow as the crankshaft). It was a lot of work, but it is way more dependable in any weather than the old and tired K-Jetronic. No stalls, runs smooth, & 25+ MPG Total mod cost: About 0. Thanks for looking into it! It was a neat project.

Hey!! This is the first video of my car since the engine blew up during the summer…I’m now commuting 35 minutes to school everyday and its working! Hoping to convert to Megasquirt EFI this coming summer. For those who don’t know about this car, it is a 1978 Porsche 924, with a non-factory BAE Turbocharger on it. It put’s out a good amount of power, sounds cool, and is fun to drive.

No Start. Not enough spark? Not enough Power?

First race weekend in the Porsche 924 Championship. Massively down on power due to a cracked exhaust manifold but salvaged a 6th place in Race 2

Future Classics Race at Brands with sorry ending. CSCC series motor racing club level in UK.
