996 911 Carrera Questions

As with any old 911, PPI. The older the car, them more maintenance it will likely need. Single turbo Turbo’s(930’s/965’s) are raw and edgy. 1994 Turbo 3.6 is my favorite 911 of all time. Nimble handling combined with a clunky 4spd shift and sluggish turbo lag make 930’s a fun ass ride(5spd g50’s in the late 89+ 964 turbos aka 965).

They are CIS fueled and while reliable when working, they are getting VERY expensive to repair. Many people have converted their cars over to EFi, but expect at least $5K+ tuning minimum to have this done by a competent shop( ) The aircooled turbo 3.0(early 930) and 3.3L(late 78+) motors in them are robust and can last 250K miles with ease when maintained. Expect a full rebuild to cost you 4-8K pending weather it needs pistons and cylinders crank work, rocker refinishing, etc.

I would be more apt to buy and build a 965 turbo then a 996 turbo, CIS or not. a good condition EFI converted 930/965 can cost as much as a high mileage 996 turbo though. 993 turbos will run you 50K+++++++

I could write a book of information here on these cars, rebuilding them, driving them. Best to just ask specific questions if you have them.
