Description:

1984 Porsche 928 928S

1984 Porsche 928, with Boeing 502 jet turbine, which weighs much less than the factory engine. Clear Ohio title. Body is mostly Aluminum, with fiberglass hood. The thrust generated from the turbine,which spins a free-turbine (contained within the turbine engine), which in turn powers a gear reducer/reverser, and drives the input shaft of the transmission. It operates just like a regular automatic transmission vehicle (all regular forward gears and reverse, as well). I planned on giving it a paint job and fixing it up a little, but medical bills force me to sell now. I was able to install 4 digital displays for engine status (Exhaust Gas Temperature Left, Exhaust Gas Temperature Right, Oil Pressure, and Oil Temperature). The exhaust temps work, but I think the Oil displays need to be programmed, or the sensors changed. Speedometer/Fuel/Tachometer work, but you will need t multiply the tach reading by approximately 5x, since gasoline[p engines redline around 7,000 RPM, and this jet turbine redlines around 37,000 RPM (tach should only be used for reference anyways, just as you drive a regular car, and pay more attention to the sound vs acceleration, to determine actual engine status). With a little TLC and a paint job, this car would be pretty cool. I'm going to miss it!

Good luck, and thank you for looking/bidding!
