> [@wtf](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/wtf/48433/5): > > 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. just doubled my porsche knowledge reading this post :number1 --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/996-911-carrera-questions/262836)._
