Not sure if this link pasted below will work from the site, but for anyone interested, here is the video of the run at Bonneville we made setting the G/PRO record in the 924 in August of this year.
If you look closely at the iPhone taped to the dash (running a GPS speed app) we hit 150 at the three mile mark. You'll also see the shift light burning brightly in fifth gear at that point - indicating that the engine was running something above 8,300 for some eight seconds. That RPM should (theoretically) have resulted in a ~165 MPH speed, but the rear wheels were slipping due to aero lift at that speed. Hopefully the spoiler we just installed will end that problem!

Cool clip, especially for us where running on salt flats feels like a different world running with the spoiler will both reduce drag and lift, should yield good results, do you run the stock undertray at the front?

Tell us more about the engine. Are you revving the stock 2l to 8300? Sounds like you need different gearing if you can do 8 sec in top gear on a salt lake. 165mph is a lot by the way!

Yes I do. Regrettably the class in which I run limits aerodynamic improvements to lowering and removal of mirrors. Can't even tape up body seams.

Carl:
It's a naturally aspirated 2 liter with pretty extensive modifications (by the engine builder Michael Mount). In reality all that remained stock 924 was the block and crankshaft. It has a 924 turbo head which permitted installation of larger custom made valves and room for opening up both the intake and exhaust ports, custom made (J&E) pistons (13.6:1), Cunninghan rods, a dry sump oiling system, twin 50mm DCOE Webers via a custom fabricated intake, a custom fabricated stainless header, a custom cam with .525" lift, inner Isky and outer 944 valve springs, and an electronic ignition system. When dynoed it peaked at 8,300 RPM's - although it will pretty safely spin at 8,500.
As for more gearing ... and spinning the tires, we think the issue is aero lift. I'm told that the 924 might be creating ~600 pounds of lift at the rear at 150 MPH. Given the car's 2,400 pound weight, that would mean only 600 pounds on the rears at speed ... ergo spinning tires. Our hope is that the rear spoiler will kill that lift and that the engine will have enough torque to accelerate the car closer to 160.

Interestering indeed.

The 933 wasn´t able to deliver more than 180 bhp @ 7500. How much does your head flow? 180-190cfm? Making more than 200bhp is difficult given these constrains.

According to the Porsche 924 SAE papers, rear axle lift at 210kph was 80N without a spoiler, due to a "somewhat elevated rear profile" The integrated front spoiler reduce lift to 30N at the same speed. Adding a rear spoiler would reduce rear lift at the expence of increased front lift. But the benefit of an improved Cd from 924 NA 0.36 to 924 turbo 0.34 with the tiny rear spoiler is a major improvement

Didn't the evolved 925 'gt3' 933s have 200-230 hp?

Carl:
Are you saying that SAE paper reported that the rear lift with no spoiler is just 60 Neutons (17.6 pounds) at 210 KPH (137 MPH)? That seems somehow off by perhaps an order of magnitude. Or did I error in my Newton to pounds conversion?

Perhaps, but not with the 2.0L. Most of these in the GT class, as far as I am aware, were converted to 2.5L. If they were based on the 2.0L block, they were almost certainly bored and stroked. Will have to go back to Roy Smith's book and the chapter on the 933 program to confirm...

You didn't mention lifters...I presume you are not using the OEM lifters? They are known to crack at about 7500 RPM.

Good catch...No they're 38.5 mm lifters from a European maker (Ventiltryckare?). Got them from a Swedish outfit named ACM.SE. So far no failures.
