Spread the love

It is really hard to believe that we are already finishing the first quarter of 2016. For me, the first three months have gotten off to a great start; January with the fantastic AutoX awards party at Walters Porsche (thanks again); the instructor training class, and our annual two day driver’s clinic and first AutoX of the season. Of course, all of this amidst the excitement with Colette and American Idol (thank you all for your support, bit/ly/colettelushyoutube).

We’re also blessed to have such a wonderful and strong community of like-minded individuals. As I enter into my second formal term as President, I wanted to extend my thanks and appreciation for your trust in me to help influence this organization. The act of volunteering is very rewarding, and one way that I feel as if I am contributing to something greater than myself.

While the board and I have not had an opportunity to review the high level objectives for 2016, I can share some of my personal goals for the club: 1. Expand your circles | you have read this request many times in the past.

It is so simple to come to events and

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

congregate around those that you are most familiar. However, I challenge you, at every event, to bring in at least one additional person to your circle of friends. Admittedly, I am as guilty of this as anyone else. Can you imagine, if everyone extended their circle by just one person how quickly the circles would intersect?

2. Recruit | we all have to continue to promote and encourage people to join our club. After looking at the membership stats and car purchase stats, it is clear that we need to reach out to as many first time Porsche buyers as possible, and continue to encourage those four-door Porsches to participate in our events. As a result, you will see a refreshed push for additional openroad driving events. Any of our board members can provide you with elegant multicolor business cards that can be handed out or slid under a windshield wiper, advising recipients on how to join our club. It wasn’t just a few years ago that San Diego region was considerably larger than Orange Coast. However, we are now within double digits of becoming the largest region in Zone 8, congratulations.

3. Advertisers and sponsors | surrounding our club is a fantastic and diverse ecosystem of advertisers and sponsors. At the March board meeting, we discussed a new competition designed to encourage our membership to consume and/or visit our advertisers and sponsors. While people, passion, and Porsches make up our club, our advertisers and sponsors help make things happen. Keep your eyes peeled for more information regarding this forthcoming competition.

As spring starts to approach, we are once again delighted to see the California Festival of Speed come to the California Speedway in Fontana (APR 08-10). This event is one that should not be missed; volunteer to assist during this threeday festival, drive out and enjoy the energizing environment, or (my personal favorite) participate in the performance driving event. Regardless of how you choose to get involved, I guarantee you will have a fantastic time.

Until next time, Greg Lush PCA OCR President People. Porsches. Passion.

EDITOR’S NOTES There are creature comforts abounding in this machine that an early 356 driver would find amazing. These include but are not limited to; “keyless go”, heated steering wheel, heated AND air conditioned seats, satellite radio, FM stereo radio, PDK, separate memory seats with 5,000 setting control…. well, that’s an exaggeration, but only a slight one. An auto up wind blocker, uphill stop lock which would be great in San Francisco, and sport exhaust and suspension. Oh, and cup holders! I am sure I’ve forgotten something in this list, but you get the picture here.

Ides of March

T’is March, when the winds blow and we in our minds do go afar, gaze upon a star, consider a road winding in the mind. Take up the key, leave worries a lea. Join us, your friends in our cars, as we try to catch that star!

“Guy Noire”: Our 2015 Porsche Cabriolet 911S

Okay, we have a name, “Guy Noire”, in honor of the gritty, reality films from the “film noire” era. Where tough guys and dames blazed briefly in our minds and stirred our souls. So, does Guy, in a louche.

The color is a nice metallic flake black (hence the “noire”), that catches some sparkle in the sun. The wheels are 20” diameter with black color high lights.

They are “lug bolt” wheels, I didn’t really want the “center lock” style wheels, with all due respect to Porsche. I have seen the torque wrench and breaker bar that Mr. Jay Warren carries around for his Turbo Cab, and after three separate (yes, it’s true that is 3, as in three) hernia operations I couldn’t see myself hefting that thing around the garage!

911’s as recently the early 2000’s didn’t have cup holders, really. My 2001 Twin Turbo didn’t have them, so I was forever balancing my latte in a big circular cup holder thingy I bought as an aftermarket item in my lap. More often than not, the coffee would spill and scald my, never mind that, part(s)! They really were basic machines, and the oft repeated mantra was, “they are drivers’ cars”, and things that didn’t concentrate one on driving were superfluous if not supercilious. So, they have come a long, long, way in the more modern age.

As wonderful as that ’01 TT was, the ’15 Cab is “wonderfuller”. It handles exquisitely, sounds absolutely delicious (particularly on startup), and is a joy to behold on a sunny OR overcast morn. In fact I’d go so far to say that as street suspension setups go, the ’15 is better. Somehow, Porsche has managed to engineer some bump compliance with superb road holding. No longer do you have to remove any dental appliances before driving with super firm suspension over bumpy normal roads. This car does soak up bumps and deliver flat cornering, and acceleration

with little squat but loads of scat. I can remember seeing earlier 911’s bobbing up and down on their rear ends under acceleration as the combination of weight transfer and rearward mass made them rise and fall with each forward gear.

If it sounds as if we are smitten, it is so.

Do I miss the GT3? Absolutely I do.

But, it was so purposeful and directed to fast travel that most creature comforts were secondary to the primary mission.

If only I could continue on with both!

I hope Mike Eguina enjoys “Blanche” as much a I did. In the mean time the old folks will roll in Guy Noire.

Contact me with any questions, as it’d be my pleasure to share this rider or my previous ones further.

But Enough about Me, How about you?

Okay, there are many ways to enjoy your Porsche ownership as a member of the Orange Coast Region. I would like this time around to mention the “perennials” on our club calendar. That is events that are repeated and held multiple times per year in usually the same location. Most of these involve something to eat so you see few starving Orange Coasters out there.

Beginning the month we have our “Breakfast Club”, held at “Original Mikes” in Santa Ana. I have mentioned this before, but every month the parking lot is usually full of almost every Porsche model you can think of. We have in the past pulled upwards of 80 cars on any one morning. It is a very friendly crowd, despite the early hour for a Saturday, and, in any case, strong coffee is a few steps away. It is a great

Book Review Story by Bruce Herrington

RACE AND TRACKDAY DRIVING TECHNIQUES

by David Hornsey, published by Veloce Publishing, Dorset, England.

‘Ordinary’ Porsche drivers should not be intimidated by the title of this book. The cover blurb says that this book provides “In-depth explanations complimented with diagrams and photography to assist all levels from the novice track driver to the seasoned racer.” The novice track day driver or even a would-be autocrosser can learn from this book.

It is an easy, well-illustrated read, and starts out with very basic information.

and couched in terms of real world applicability.

This author discusses traction in terms of a ‘budget’ of ten points, which seems more comprehensible than the traditional ‘Traction Circle’ approach.

Consisting of eleven chapters, including Further Skills and Techniques which deals with Handbrake Turns, J Turns and Drifting, the book begins with an Introduction explaining the key terms used. This is part of the focus on the ‘novice track driver’. Of particular interest is the fact that this book specifically acknowledges a pet peeve of this reviewer - the term “apex” as used in motorsport, is a misnomer of the apex of a curve, which is fixed by geometry.

Only a ‘clipping point’ can be moved to ‘early’ or ‘late’.

The more advanced sections of the book discuss, among other things, the workings of traction control systems, their assets and liabilities on the track.

There is even a chapter on how to establish (or at least try for) a career in motorracing, and one on physical fitness specific to handling a race car. The 11th chapter, on handbrake turns, J-turns, establishing and maintaining a drift, etc., is interesting, but probably of little practical value to most readers. Notably absent is the discussion, made famous

by Denis Jenkinson in “The Racing Driver”, of how to ‘correct’ a spin into a 180 degree turn, without leaving one’s lane and intruding onto the path of passing traffic (race or street).

There is Porsche content in this book – many of the explanations of optimum seating position and foot work use a Porsche Cayman for illustration, and a variety of Porsches are shown in the ontrack illustrations..

A key component of DRIVING TECHNIQUES is its presentation of “The Ten Rules of Circuit Driving”.

These rules are every bit as applicable to Autocross, and yes ‘street’ driving, as to driving on a race circuit. They are all presented clearly and concisely, 10 PANDO | March 2016

For the American reader, the down side of this book is that the largest chapter, by far, deals with very specific, turn by turn driving instructions for 15 race tracks in England. Somehow, this reviewer has always been taken by the name Druids, for a corner (double apex, it turns out) at Oulton Park. It feels great to at last to understand how to drive it. It is also interesting to read about driving St

Mary’s at Goodwood, because that is where Stirling Moss had the accident that effectively ended his Formula 1 career. Of academic interest to those who have heard/read of these tracks and the famous/infamous named corners, this guidance is of real value only to one intending to go vintage racing on those tracks.

DRIVING TECHNIQUES consists of 128 pages, of which some are reserved for “notes” and some are devoted to advertising for the publishing company.

The ‘meat’ is in 118 8x9-3/4 inch, well illustrated, softbound, pages (plus index). Great for the novice driver, the experienced driver will have to work at it a bit to see the general applicability of the advanced techniques described in the specific context of various named corners on British race tracks.

The Type 64, 1939 Berlin-to-Rome car

ONCE IS NOT ENOUGH Story and Photos by Rob Alen 12 PANDO | March 2016

The late 1970s saw the production-based 935 race car

Have you everbeen to the Porsche Museum in Stuggart? Even if you have, been, you need to go again. It is not a static museum. The cars are moved and changed, and special exhibits are organized during the year.

The museum is a balance of historic production cars and famous Porsche race cars.

A spotlight car is the Type 64. It was developed in the late 1930s for the Berlin to Rome race, that never materialized.

The car established the Porsche design vernacular: curving fenders, tight cabin, engine in the rear all for aerodynamic effect.

On display are early production cars from the 356 era and the first of the 911s, or, more accurately for the time, the 901.

It is the race cars that give Porsche its reputation. There is the Formula One car Dan Gurney drove in 1962 to win the French Grand Prix. It was Porsche’s only F1 victory as a constructor. How tiny and spindly it is.

There are the long tails and the short tails.

And, of course, the 917s with the cabin forward design. Hard to imagine sitting in its simple, rustic looking interior, like that of an early space craft, blasting at 200+mph down the Mulsanne.

The Porsche assembly plant is across from the Museum

#64 908 long tail, Le Mans runner-up in 1969

March 2016 | PANDO 13

The numbers just roll on: the 935s, 956s, 962s. There are interactive displays that demonstrate Porsche’s drive for lightness and speed.

The Museum is easy to get to from central Stuttgart by S-Bahn. It is located across the traffic circle from the assembly plant for sports cars and engines. Tours of the production plant are available but reservations are required (factorytours@ porsche.de). Admission to the museum is free for Porsche Club members with membership ID. Details are on the website www.porsche.com/museum/en.

The 935 “Moby Dick”

The espresso cafe on the first floor looks into the restoration workshop and Christophorus restaurant, on the upper floor, is more formal and is open in the evening.

Also in Stuttgart is MOTORWORLD, adjacent to an old airfield in Boblingen.

High-line car dealers, collector cars, lifestyle clothing stores, and the V8 Hotel are in the large hanger-like building. It is a good afternoon of fun.

Of course, there is the museum for that other car company based in Stuttgart.

Vacation planning starts soon. Put the Porsche Museum on your list, even if 14 PANDO | March 2016

Photo tip of the Month

Exposure Settings Part III Story and Photos by Mike Knudsen Last month, I wrote about how to use lots of depth of field (DOF) to get everything nice and sharp. This month, we’re going to see how limiting DOF can help focus the viewer’s eyes, eliminating distracting elements when framing won’t work.

First, the three rules for reducing DOF. DOF shrinks with: • Longer focal lengths • Bigger apertures (i.e. smaller f-numbers) • Moving closer to the subject Remember how to use framing to get everything in the photo you want and nothing you don’t? Well, that works fine for the up-down and left-right dimensions. But what about the frontback direction? This would be something in front of or behind your subject that you’d like to exclude. Framing won’t work without losing something you do want. But DOF can. Take a look at Figure 1.

Figure 1 – San Diego Safari Park

That bald eagle was rescued and now lives at the park because it’s unable to fly. It lives in an aviary with a chain link fence around it. I wanted to photograph him, but certainly didn’t want the fence in the photo. By using a very limited DOF the fence disappears even though I shot straight through it. The settings here are 400mm, f/7.1, 1/400th sec. DOF less than a foot. The fence is simply so far out of the focal plane that it disappears.

Now, look at Figure 2.

Figure 2

March 2016 | PANDO 17

Figure 3 – Riley Wilderness Park

I wanted the couple to be nice and sharp, naturally, but not the background. In this case, the background was some trees and houses, and I really didn’t want them drawing attention away from the couple. So, here again, I wanted only enough DOF to get them sharp. The settings here are 142mm, f/2.8, 1/80 sec.

So, DOF was about a foot or two. One more – Figure 3.

This deer would normally blend in with its surroundings, and make it much harder to see. But by using a limited DOF, I could easily separate it from its background. The settings here are 400mm, f/8, 1/400th sec. So, DOF was about 2 feet.

The key in all of this is to put as much distance as you can between your subject and the things you want to make disappear. Then use the longest focal length and the biggest aperture combination you can. That will put them

18 PANDO | March 2016

as far out of the focal plane as possible.

Do it right, and they just disappear.

Here again is the online DOF calculator (http://www.dofmaster.com/dofjs.html) to help.

This little series of articles has been about helping make photos you send to Pando a little better by paying attention to a few basics. Do these things and you’ll send better photos, no matter what camera you use.

If you want to keep learning, there are some great resources.

• Free online courses are available at the B&H Photo (http://www. bhphotovideo.com) and Adorama ( h t t p : / / w w w. a d o r a m a . c o m ) websites.

• If you’re ready to invest a little, KelbyOne (http://kelbyone.com) and Steele Training (http://www. steeletraining.com) have some very good online subscription courses on many specific topics. I have used all

of the above, and always gotten a lot out of them.

Be sure to check out Kelby’s weekly program called “The Grid”. You can subscribe on Youtube for free, and once a month he does real critiques of subscriber submitted photos.

One last resource is 500PX (https://500px.com). Go there to see examples of what a really great photo should look like. Whether it’s flowers, architecture, portraits or whatever, 500px will give you plenty of great examples to compare with your own work.

Finally, I want to thank the Pando staff, especially Garey and Kristen, for the opportunity to share my passion for photography with you all. Although the column is going away, I’m not.

So, email me anytime with questions.

Lastly, remember, the best camera in the world is the one you have with you.

Good shooting!

AUTO-X CORNER

Five Steps to Faster Times Article by Greg Noss, Photo by Mike Knudsen

I like talking to people, and in a recent conversation with Michael Oest, I learned that, generally, people approach autocross from two distinctly different philosophies. Mine which is to start slower and dial things up until you just push over the limit, or Michael’s which is to drive as fast as possible and dial things back until you get to the limit.

I’m not sure which way is better, as Michael turns in some exceptionally fast times. However, I am going to touch on a couple critical components of what you need in order to improve your times regardless of which philosophy you subscribe to.

In either case you need to be able to review your lap and identify where you think you need to change your speed or your line.

Step 1 - Consistency

One of the most critical steps to getting faster that most drivers overlook is consistency. You need to be able to put your car on the same line lap after lap. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, take a couple laps with someone who is consistently fast and you will quickly recognize the line they take around the course varies very little from lap to lap.

They always brake at the same place, they set up their car in the same place, and they always go through each section at about the same speed. Without establishing a baseline to work from as a reference, it is impossible to know for

sure if braking 10 feet earlier allowed you to exit a corner faster or keep a tighter line through a specific section. If you can’t consistently turn laps within 2 tenths of a second, focus on consistency before you start trying to go faster.

Establish reference points so you can clearly determine how changes to your braking points, turn in points, driving line and acceleration points are affecting your times. When you finish your lap, you can review each section and know what you did differently that affected your lap time. When you ride with a really fast driver, they can immediately tell you if they were off line, or if they entered a corner too fast. If you ride with me, I usually talk to myself even when I have passengers.

refine the best line through a corner or where you want to turn in on a specific corner. Use the track walk to setup your reference points. When you walk the track, stand on the track where you want to be when you are driving then stop and look ahead. If you know you need to really late apex a certain turn, find a visual reference looking down the course and tell yourself, “I want to turn when this cone (probably one closer to you) and that cone (the apex cone for the next corner) line up.” If you are consistent at using reference points. it becomes much easier to know if the change you made on your last lap made you faster or slower.

Step 2 - References

Learn to listen to what the car is telling you. Most of the time you can hear it, but you can always feel it, if the car is under steering and plowing through the corners you can usually hear the front tires squealin. A little is ok, a lot is not.

You should be able to sit in any car, as a driver or passenger, and be able to tell if the car is under steering or over steering. Once you determine what the car is doing, you need to figure out why. If you are not sure ask one of our instructors to take a ride with you or drive your car, as most of them can steer you in the right direction. Tire pressures can dramatically influence the handling of your car, so take a day to figure out what pressures are the best for your car, your tires, and your driving style. Get

Autocross is unique in that it usually takes place in large flat areas without a lot of points to use for reference aside from the cones. On a track, there are usually brake markers and curbing that give you hard reference points. However, even in that environment, I see drivers struggle to establish consistent laps simply because they don’t know how to use reference points. Fixing this is usually as easy as pointing out a specific point or group of cones that you are going to use to say, “I want to be here or I want to brake 10 feet before the gate (two cones on the right and two on the left).” Reference points for braking, turn in, and acceleration are invaluable when you are trying to

your tires right, then listen to the car.

Tire tuning and handling are a topic for another article.

Step 4 -Talk to people

Evaluate the track. Look at areas where you could do something a little different, and ask other people for some ideas on things to try. Try to do most of your experimenting during practice runs and fine tune during timed runs. During our December autocross, there was a lot of discussion whether to go right or left on the first slalom. A lot of the fast, higher powered cars on race tires were going right, the entry and slalom were faster but it made the entry to the left at the end real slow. I had been going left all morning. After going right, the entry was faster, by a lot, but my times were slower by nearly a second.

After analyzing the line after two runs, I determined by going right my corner exit speed out of the tight left hander at

the end was significantly slower and the wide gearing on second, in my Cayman S put me too low in the power band to make up the lost speed on the exit.

Trying to downshift to first unsettled the car too much and made things even worse. The GT3’s have a much narrower gearing and more power so they could pull out of the hole much faster with less impact on their overall time. Frequently, having another driver ride with you and give you their input can be invaluable.

Sometimes a suggestion as simple as using a different gear in a particular section can drop your times by a half a second or more.

Step 5 - Analyze

Draw out a map and review it after each run or get an app like Harry’s lap timer or Track Addict that records telemetry data like G-Forces, Speed, Braking and Acceleration. A map or an app will help you determine where you are consistent,

and look for areas you may be able to go faster, maybe add a little throttle input, where you can trail brake to increase your overall average speed through a section. We are visual by nature, so having a map to look at can help you visualize how you can change your line through a specific section. A map is also very helpful when someone else is trying to explain to you how they would do something at a specific spot on the track.

Apps are extremely useful at the end of the day when you can load all the runs on your computer and overlay all the runs and compare them to your times.

Start this year out right and watch your times drop. Develop consistency, learn to create reference points, learn to listen to your car, experiment, and analyze your results and times. Most of all, spend time behind the wheel. If you feel like you’re stuck and can’t go any faster, ask any of our instructors they will be happy to help you.

AUTO-X SERIES AWARDS PARTY Story by Chris Barrington, Photos by Paul Novotne

On January 30th, Walter’s Porsche of Riverside hosted, for the eigth conseuctive year, the 2015 Walter’s Porsche Autocross Series Awards Party.

The turnout was great, as drivers and guests came to reflect on the 2015 Autocross season and celebrate victories with the award winners. As always, the selection of food and beverages provided

by Walter’s was outstanding.

Ed McRae, Walter’s Porsche General Manager, welcomed the group. Ed spoke about the great relationship between the dealership and their PCA ‘partner’, the Orange Coast Region. He also thanked Club members for their business over the years. Walter’s is looking forward with enthusiasm to their ninth year of PCA-OCR Sponsorship in 2016.

Lisa Taylor and Walter Kienle share a laugh

Ed then introduced Walter Kienle, the ‘Walter’ in Walter’s. Walter recounted how the Kienle’s got into the Porsche business and that the business is very much a family affair. Steve Kienle added his perspective from the ‘second March 2016 | PANDO 23

generation’. For those who don’t know, Walter’s is nearing completion on a new ‘world-class’ Porsche facility nearby, adjacent to the 91 freeway in Riverside.

I, for one, can’t wait to see even more Porsches on display at the 2016 awards ceremony in their fantastic new facility!

Next, Bob Scheussler presented a Sponsor’s Trophy to Walter & Steve thanking them for their long term support. Sponsor jackets were awarded to Walter’s employees in recognition of their individual contributions to the Walter’s/PCA-OCR relationship.

AX Event Sponsor awards were then presented to businesses that sponsored AX events throughout the season. Event Sponsors help to subsidize the cost of monthly AX events and frequently provide lunches and soft drinks. The Orange Coast Region is very lucky to have a number of outstanding Event Sponsors – all of the 2015 Event Sponsors are repeat sponsors over several years, some even do multiple events in a single year! These sponsors are (listed alphabetically): • Autowerkes • Bill Brewster Porsche

Specialists • Cape Auto Repair • Fairview Mortgage Capital • Flying L Racing • GMG Motorsports • Largent & Associates • Racing Lifestyle Two other important sponsors recognized for supporting our 2015 Driving Events program, in addition general Club activities were: our Website Sponsor, OmniPlatform, owned by Drew Jorgenson, located in Riverside, and our Graphics Sponsor, Studio Z Advertising & Design, owned by John Ortiz, located in Las Vegas. Support provided by all of our Sponsors is greatly appreciated and is a critical element in continuing our outstanding AX program.

Also, recognized for continuing support of our 2015 Driving Events program, was one of our past presidents, Chris Duva and his company, RMS Answers,

located in Wilmington, North Carolina.

Chris maintains the ‘Results’ for AX on our website.

Chris Barrington, a 2015 AX Co-Chair, presented the Championship Jackets and Trophies to the 2015 AX award winners.

A full list of award winners can be seen in the accompanying table on the following page. Chris also presented Don Chapman, the outgoing AX Co-Chair, an award in recognition of his service co-chairing the AX events. We will miss Don as he joins the expanding ranks of Emeriti that include Steve Eguina, Jim Harris, Bob Scheussler, James Buck, Greg Lush, Christine Newcomer, Craig Adams & Chuck Bartolon.

Lisa Taylor and John Landgraf having a good time

Eric Budai, Chief Driving Instructor, presented the Instructor of the Year Award to Adriano “AB” Bortolin, who is a graduate of the OCR Control Clinic as well as the PCA-OCR Instructor Program. Thank you and congratulations “AB!” The ‘need-for-speed’ crowd was speculating on the recipient of the Top Gun Award, which recognizes the driver with the highest score for the season using the BRI (Bench Racing Index). It was a tight race between Michael Oest, Kurt Ressler, and Erik Hagendijk, but the award went to Erik Hagendijk by a nose. Congrats Erik on the impressive drives this year!

The 2015 Autocross Events Team was recognized for their hard work throughout the year. The Club could not have a driving program without efforts of the AX Team and the volunteer Instructors.

Thanks to all Sponsors, Volunteers and Drivers for a great 2015 AX season! You are the reason our Autocross program continues to get better every year. We look forward to seeing you all at the Walter’s PCA-OCR Driving Events in 2016!

It’s a full house at OCR’s Annual Brunch (Tustin Ranch Golf Clubhouse)

Hope You Had a Great Time Story by C.L. Jarusek, Photos by Paul Novotne With rain the day before and a forecast of possible rain on January 10th, the prospects of having our Porsches out in the rain were very good. The same thing happened last year, and we had a constant natural car wash in 2015. We still had a very good time last year, regardless of the rain. Upon waking up for this year’s Annual Meeting and Brunch, I looked outside and saw a beautiful day. Thank you, Mother Nature.

As in last year, the venue was the Tustin Ranch Golf Clubhouse. The sun was shining nicely and golfers were out on the course within view. Gloria Moore had name tags made out to give to the 144 registered members and guests.

Check in was handled by Nancy Troast, Monica Asbury and myself. Once folks were checked in, they were able to find a place to sit and enjoy the food and complimentary champagne or orange juice. With an announced starting time of 11am, there was time for everyone to visit with old friends and make new ones.

Once the start of the Brunch was announced, everyone went in to the 30 PANDO | March 2016

buffet area and had an assortment of fruit, breads, seafood, carved meat, eggs and omelets and side dishes. It was a delicious buffet, and the food was plentiful, so as usual, I overloaded my plate with shrimp, lox and bagels, oysters, bacon and sausage and all the accompaniments. As per usual, I wasn’t able to completely finish my plate, but went back for that sweetness I so desired. The champagne was good and with Nancy being my designated driver, a smart thing to do when at a champagne buffet, I enjoyed it.

After everyone had either finished or was in the process of devouring the final bites of food, Greg Lush “called” the meeting to order and introduced the advertisers and sponsors who were present. We were happy to see Ed McRae and family and the owner of Walter’s Porsche, Walter Kienle, and his wife with us. Walter was introduced by Ed and recognized for his story of coming to the United States from Germany and joining the U.S. Army during the Korean War. I respect all veterans, being one myself. Also present was Michelle Larsson of Circle Porsche, who had to leave early to go sell some more Porsches. I was happy to see many people that I seldom get to see, including Ted Hisada and his wife, who were dressed very elegantly. They had been in Japan for two years and are back on the OCR scene. Also present was Los Angeles Region President Brianna Becker, checking out how the southern neighbors are doing. Remember, when you are a PCA member you are welcome at almost all other Regional events, even out-of-state.

Not only is the food great, but the view was spectacular

After the introductions were completed, Monica Asbury announced the new Officers for the 2016/2017 term.

The position of Vice President was contested by myself and Chuck Bartolon. With the help of going through Fairhaven Members listen as New Board Members are Announced

is that it is a local area charity. The Semper Fi Fund gives mostly to USMC locally to us at Camp Pendleton.

The final action necessary for our event was the completion of the Silent Auction, which benefits our Club charity, the Semper Fi Fund. Many don’t know that much about the Semper Fi Fund, but the Board elected a few years ago to donate to the Semper Fi because much more money goes to the troops than the more publicized Wounded Warrior Fund.

The money that is used to promote and advertise the Wounded Warrior Fund is a higher percentage than what is used for the Semper Fi Fund. Both are good charities, but we feel we could do more for the amount of money we give by selecting the Semper Fi Fund. Also one of the requirements for our donations

Peggy Huddleston, our Charity Director, did a great job in obtaining the Silent Auction items. If you have ever knocked on business’s doors looking for items they would like to donate, you will appreciate the task she took on. We were able to come up with some great items, such as baskets containing an assortment of goodies, including a sculpture of a Porsche on the snow in ski country.

Thanks to all who helped obtaining these items, they are a mainstay of our charity funds. Thank you also to all of the volunteers that not only helped Peggy, but helped with all the tasks involved in the Annual Meeting. Peggy informed me that she received over $4700 on the

32 PANDO | March 2016

receipts of the Silent Auction. Thank you to everyone that made a bid, whether you “won” the article or merely boosted the amount, which ended up getting the item. Also thank you to Jennifer Hinds who collected $106 of plastic bottles to give to the Fund. Jennifer went to the microphone and challenged other OCR members and their children to collect plastic bottles, and to donate the money to boost our charity account.

Two members donated $70 after the presentation. We are on a great start for the Fund, let’s keep it going.

Thank you all for attending and if you could not attend; hopefully you will hear good words about our event and plan on coming next year. Should you have any suggestions, comments, etc. make sure you let me know, so next year can be even better.

My First Tour D’Orange Story and Photo by Dick Sartor January 1, 2016. New Year’s morning – most people are either sleeping in or sleeping it off; but it’s 7:00AM and I’m driving south with a buddy to Aliso Viejo. With the sun shining brightly in my eyes, I’m headed to my first Tour D’ Orange, which I’d heard about at the December Porsches and Pancakes gathering at Woody’s Restaurant in Lido, and then looked up additional information on Facebook.

Not quite knowing what to expect, we soon found out! Thinking we were lost, I turned into a shopping center, saw someone in a traffic vest pointing into a parking lot with rows and rows of every shape and type of car – from exotics to classics, sports cars, pickups, jalopies and even a Dodge Rat Racer all there to enthusiastically cruise the annual Tour D’ Orange. The cars kept coming and easily reached 500+; with lots of people standing around talking, freezing and glancing around for a bathroom and some place to get coffee – it’s hard to imagine a Southern California shopping center with no Starbucks!

There was an announcement that maps and directions would be available at 34 PANDO | March 2016

8:30am with a 9:00am start; however, plans changed when a TV station called saying they’d be late and wanted to see the parking lot full of cars and maybe interview some participants – but, by the time the TV station arrived, the event organizers stil hadn’t distributed maps and everyone was ready to go. Engines were loudly running, people trying to hit the road, and frankly, it was quite a scene with everyone trying to pull out and get going.

Interestingly, the police had also been there and we were able to identify the route – and as you’ll read later…..well, I’ll leave that to later.

Driving along the route, you’d often see either a double line of cars a half mile in front or in back as you drove to Laguna Niguel.

Coming down the Laguna Hills, some cars wouldn’t wait and passed in turn lanes or tried running the side streets. I guess they thought the traffic lights and the normal people driving along were delaying their progress!

Anyway, on some roads it was real clear the police had thought this out,

and I (being a retired motorcycle officer myself) saw at least 6 motor cycle officers had pulled some of the starters over – so when these drivers remember this day, what’ll probably stick in their minds will be that it cost them a few dollars in citations. Also 3 CHP units and 4 other police cars were working radar, so it made the drive a little more interesting.

The route took us through Irvine, Trabuco Canyon and other cities – some of which was nice for sightseeing, however you had to be constantly aware of how some drivers drove - some at high speeds and/or trying to take corners as fast as possible. I’m glad my buddy came along as a navigator since trying to drive the route and read the directions was a little much.

The tour ended around noon at the District in Irvine where food – and more important – bathrooms were available.

The experience was interesting – If I do this next year, I’ll remember to make sure to get enough sleep, wear a warm jacket, bring my own coffee – and not count on an available bathroom on my morning arrival!

Ramblings

Story and Photos by Lee Rice Another Panorama benefit at the 2015 flew past quicker time was a monthly technical tip from than a TurboS on boost!

Chuck Stoddard, who was our National My first technical articles date back to around 1993 or so. I ‘came aboard’ and volunteered to do Pando technical questions and answers. I wanted to help Porsche owners better understand their 911s.

I later formed my ‘mission statement’ of making my columns a primary source for Porsche owners to understand the history and the why’s and how’s behind how Porsches came to be the way they are- on the technical side, anyway. My goal was, and is, to de-mystify some of the more challenging machinery in their cars. I also loved helping owners get involved with their cars. I learned in my own early 911 days, that the PCA-ers who put out the Panorama with stories like: “..My poor broken Porsche, and how I fixed it…”. Those articles really helped us to keep our own Porsches running.

OCR’s Pando also contributed to Panorama’s technical information with our very own tech tips. Many of us looked for those inside stories to better learn our Porsches and the insights from the professionals who worked on them. Another gem we loved were the reprinted factory service Information and Service Bulletins, and especially the Panorama compilation: “Up~Fixin der PORSCHE”. All of this benefited Porsche owners world-wide. Then you realize these stories were all from someone else’s hard learned lessons.

From those stories I was able to read and learn enough to get involved in my own Porsche.

36 PANDO | March 2016

Technical Chairman at the time. I was one to try a lot of those new ideas and upgrades as soon as I could-and then pass them on to my 911 friends. All that was great, as I was getting the benefits of their hard learned lessons, and that is part of my ‘mission’ goal: To pass on as much as I can in a story telling ‘as it happened’ way.

The 911 came from crude beginnings but with time it became one of the most successful “evolution” cars of all time. As the 911 grew, it changed and was made to fit into owner wants and needs. Even so, it has remained true to its concept and design. The 911 of today is still a winning racer on Sunday and those wins means sales on Mondays.

This is what the 911 has been doing for 50 years.

The technical evolution I understand pretty well and have passed on many stories. I was telling every 911 owner I knew how they, too, could improve their own 911 and how they could realize the same results. For me & my own 911, this grew into a continuing upgrade for better engines, trans-axles, suspension, chassis upgrades, electrics, air conditioning, and interior work, all of which I have shared with the membership. One last thing to add. I realize that our club has grown from the 300 members or so we had when I started writing. Many members can’t make all, or even one, event during the month, so for many members their way of paritcipating is through Pando. I try to always keep that I mind…

ASK the MECHANIC

Q:

Are there any other checks you can do for CIS Fuel Injectors besides blow off pressure and Injector leaking check?

A:

YES there is. I recently just added new criteria for checking CIS Fuel Injectors: I had a re-occurrence of the instant firing when starting the engine, instead of the normal 2-3 seconds of cranking and then firing up with no miss firing. This is caused by one (or more) C.I.S. Fuel Injectors partially leaking down, over 3 hours or more.

I removed all my fuel injectors and using an electric engraver, I numbered each injector 1-6 and I also number etched all my spare injectors so as not to get any mixed up. Then, I replaced my small hand pump CIS Injector pressure gauge with a new larger pressure gauge (from McMaster Carr, Santa Fe Springs, CA.) and installed it on my hand pump injector tester. I needed to see more precisely what each injector’s blowpressure was and to log each one.

Blow-Off Test specification were (2.5 – 3.6 BAR) [36-52PSI]. This I did for each of the new injectors, and all were within the specifications. I then checked and logged all my spare 18 injectors as well.

Then I decided to see what the injector’s pressure is when it STOPPED INJECTING FUEL. I found among my 6 new injectors that I had a variance of 9 psi between injectors and a small difference of volume of injected fuel between injectors. This was surprising as the factory WSM does not mention this at all.

I replaced two of the new injectors with spares that tested at the highest pressure and closest volume of injecting fuel.

And, so far -90 days now, I have had perfect starts.

My 930 Story Continued

In the January issue of Pando, I left off telling about the all important VALVE JOB after earlier discussing the bolton upgrades for a 930 Turbo. I have written many a detailed explanation of repairs and modifications for the

911/930 Turbos, but back to the critical valve job and machine shop work, I have written about this before and do not want to take up space again. So IF anyone is interested you can send me an e-mail and I can send you my more in depth information about upgrading for the internals of the 930 Turbo engine.

Other than that the 930 Turbo’s valve job, and this applies to all 911s, this is a major opportunity to ensure long-life of your engine, add to it’s value, and also enhance or change the character of your 911-930’s engine.

I know that any 40,-70,000 mile Turbo that has not had a “valve job” is looking at a $5-8,000 dollar expense, and if not done before a sale of your precious 911930, that would likely lead to having to negotiate >$8,000-12,000< off the asking price. (It always costs more later on).

Now, lets suppose your Turbo engine is apart at the machine shop and at this point, with all the necessary upgrades done, you have a need for just a bit more… First, the oil system.

Pump

The 3.0L Turbo oil pump is great for a 911 or SC but the turbo needs to upgrade to a later 3.3-3.6 liter oil pump and matching drive shaft. This insures more cooling oil and better circulation of foil in the engine. Upgrade to larger piston oil squirters with the new oil pump as well.

Cam Drive

New chains, new ramps and upgrade to the Carrera tensioners and late (1983-) left and right tensioner supports. Chain wheels for wear and replacement. *TIP* Valve rockers arms: check rocker bushings for wear and check the adjuster screws for ease of complete removal from the rocker. Many are very difficult to remove because they are stretched from overtightening the

adjusting jam nut. While some are almost impossible to remove, they must be removed and either re-threaded or replaced along with all new jam nuts.

New jam nuts are inexpensive. When these adjusters are stretched, it is almost impossible to accurately adjust your valve clearance. This is the time to make it right. Also check rocker shafts for wear and scoring.

Engine assembly

I follow the latest procedure from the 993 Werk Shop Manual, especially noting the crankcase o-ring seals and sealant application and assembly procedure.

Some procedures have changed. What is next?

Earlier, I described the importance of improving the air flow or “breathing” for a turbo engine. The available bolton upgrades with improved Headers/ Heat Exchangers, Turbochargers, High Flow Mufflers are straight forward and the only thing I should clarify is the selection of a turbocharger. The old 1975-1989 “3LDZ” turbo is a good one but an old design that should be replaced for quicker throttle response and power.

The standard 1992-’94 K27-7200 turbocharger ( 930.123.003.02) is one of the best all around for reliability, quicker throttle response, and power, because of its more advanced compressor design and smaller turbine section. I’ve used these on stock 3.0 Liter Turbos to upgraded 3.4 Liter Turbos- all with excellent results.

However, if during the “Valve Job” you have upgraded to an improved cam, such as a 911 SC or 964 cam, larger intake ports of at least 38-40 mm, a different turbocharger is in order, like the K29/27, or the Garrett GT35R ballbearing turbocharger. *TIP Most after-market Header/Heat Exchanger kits provide a turbocharger oil sump tank. I have not seen any with a turbo oil tank vent on them. This has worked ok for the 3LDZ, K27-7006, March 2016 | PANDO 37

K27-7200, but the newer turbochargers like K27 GTX11.11, Garrett GT35R, and some Hybrid K27-29s must have at least a ¼” vent line. Otherwise, oil will blow through the turbine burning the seals and then exit the turbine in huge white cumulus clouds!

needed for most applications. We have one of these “IMSA” Intercoolers on my brother’s built 3.4 Leight- weight 930 and it does make good power on boost, but it is a tighter fit as the intercooler core and its end tanks are thicker (higher).

The fan housing mounted ignition transformer (coil) must be relocated.

Intercoolers

Intercoolers make a big difference in turbo performance and I have used many intercoolers, including the Garretson intercooler, RUF BTR Intercooler, 930 TurboS intercooler, and the C-2 intercooler (1992-’94). I’ve also used some of those so called “Monster Intercoolers,” and I’ve also used and some hybrid types as well.

My favorite intercooler for cost, value, reliability, ease of installation and service is the factory C-2 Turbo (199238 PANDO | March 2016

The C-2 intercooler from the 19911994 3.3 Liter & 3.6 Liter engines, is unique to the C-2 turbo, but it can fit any 1978 to 1989 turbo engine –with some upgrades. Also, all the parts are listed in current PET parts catalog and all parts are still available.

There is also a very rare and expensive factory C-2 Racing Intercooler from the IMSA “Super Car” series. This intercooler was, I believe, manufactured

by ANDIAL & Brumos Porsche in the 1990s. This is for serious racing with long high power runs or endurance events. This especially applies when full boost over 1.0 BAR (2.0 BAR-absolute) will be used. It is a unique looking, almost “monster” intercooler, but not

One of the most important things to remember with flow dynamics is that SIZE is not as important as smooth or ‘free-flowing’ air flow. The C-2 Intercooler alone did more to improve horsepower on the 1992 3.3L turbo engine from it’s earlier 1989 version of 282 HP to 320 HP, just from the cooler boosted air that also flows smoother.

Any time air flow moves over, around, through obstructions, or restrictions, it generates turbulence and heat. The better intercoolers flow as free of restriction

as possible and the C-2 intercooler is as good as any ever got. One last issue; the C-2 intercooler requires the Air Conditioning CONDENSER to be relocated, as it is not only in the way of air coming into the rear deck/wing to cool the intercooler but it also expels hot air into the engine. So the condenser is moved out from under the engine deck/wing and repositioned up front in the left wheel well, replacing the little used headlight washer bottle and using the condenser there with a 12 volt fan-just like the C-2/4 and 993s do, or you can install a Kuhle® (aftermarket) condenser with a 12 Volt fan in the left rear wheel well -which I have installed on some cars myself and it makes the A/C work better than it ever did before.

This upgrade will have you and your engine running much cooler as well.

I have used, but no longer use the “monster intercoolers” which I think came from the “bigger is better” thinking.

I found that this is rarely true and then only in special near racing conditions.

It takes time to re-fill boost pressure in those monster intercoolers every time you lift, shift, and throttle again. So a larger monster intercooler must refill its monster size each and every time. This only makes ‘boost lag’ worse. It makes no sense except on long straight-a-ways (Le Mans) or long straights on road runs, like The Silver State, or some very long Arizona or Nevada roads.

Fuel Enrichment

Stock 930 Turbos come with adequate fuel enrichment for STOCK engines only. If you upgrade for power and increase the air flow, the Mechanical CIS or the 1986- O2 sensing Jetronic CIS, can only increase fuel enrichment, marginally. You do not want to think about increasing boost pressure above 0.9 BAR (1.9 ABSOLUTE) until you have improved fuel enrichment. I reworked and modified the Turbo C.P.R. (Control Pressure Regulator) for greater fuel volume on acceleration and boost,.

I discovered with turbos just how much

turbo engines love more fuel. Where a non boosted engine would cough and sputter, Turbos love it. The end result is you feel the increase of power as your right foot goes down. This also makes instant heat for boost to build up quicker, as the increase of heat spins the turbine-compressor sooner, faster, and harder! Like aircraft piston engines that run very rich fuel mixtures at take off, extra fuel enrichment was used to avoid detonation and overheating the engine.

This fuel mixture called “Auto-Rich” is a very rich mixture almost making black smoke out the exhaust on full take-off power. So, to be safe, in the early 930 turbo days, we tuned our 930s to run somewhat like the airplanes on takeoff, which was now for us on full boost.

This was done to guard against burned pistons, burned and “holed” cylinders, broken rings, and overheated damaged turbochargers! And enrichment gave quicker acceleration boost, came up sooner, and the engine pulled harder than before.

The factory Work Shop Manual specifies fuel mixtures set to 3.0 - 4.0 % C.O. at idle, and it does this to have the engine run in the more normal Air/Fuel Ratio of 14.5:1 in the cruise driving range. This is because of the use of a mismatched large CIS Air Meter from a 6.9 Liter V-8 in the 1970’s. Porsche was intending to build only a limited number of “Turbos” to qualify for racing, and what they thought would be a very limited number of production models. But the huge air meter they used makes for very sloppy air flow/fuel metering!

The standard 3.0-4.0 % C.O. specification for tuning almost makes the engine cough from running over rich at low rpm -idle. These specifications could cause fuel ‘washing’ of oil off the cylinders and also black sooty spark plugs –especially with the use of very cold heat range spark plugs specified in the early days. HOWEVER, if you adjust for a good idle-low rpm A/FR you will end up with a lean mixture in cruise or power and on-boost you can almost

guarantee to burn cylinders, heads, valves etc etc.

So you are stuck with that over rich 3-4% A/FR on the early & RoW Turbos.

With this mixture the A.I.S.‘s air pump burns the over rich exhaust nicely and gives just a tiny measure of quicker boost. Without that air pump you would NEVER pass a smog check. These factory specifications didn’t do much for fuel consumption either, but it has kept the turbo engine legal and alive.

The USA Turbo engine from the 1986 model year and on (930/68) came with newer emission systems that included the addition of a small ecu to the CIS fuel injection system, called CIS Jetronic.

This works by mechanically adjusting the C.O. to a very lean setting overall ( 0.6% + 0.2% C.O.), and the Jetronic ecu enriches the fuel mixtures during starting, cold running (warm-up), and on acceleration. This works in harmony with the catalytic converter, and it works very well for what it is. However ,it is a sealed, nonadjustable system.

In the late 1990s, I started to experiment with the standard 1978-1994 930& 964 Turbo’s Control Pressure Regulator so it would automatically run richer on initial acceleration, and even more so on boost.

On acceleration, it would instantly richen up to 12.5:1 % Air/Fuel Ratio and stay on the on boost up to redline.

I painstakingly wrote a detailed article and made drawings of how owners and mechanics could do this modification on their cars and had it published in Pandemonium and it was also available on line and printed in other publications -see (TECHNICAL & SAFETY November 2000, 1-6 pages). Later because of the complexities, I made and sold new modified C.P.R.s named “After-Burner” Fuel Enrichment Kits.

This greatly helps to have a more usable normal air/fuel ratio in idle and cruise power and yet enrich for power on boost. This single upgrade enabled March 2016 | PANDO 39

a smooth and stable idle, smooth cruise driving, and on acceleration there is more instant push in the back and on boost it shows 12.5:1 Air/Fuel Ratio on my instruments. After some 20 years it still works well. What’s next?

no where near as strong of a pull……

This observation was done on a 3.2 liter short-stroke single turbo engine.

IGNITION

Air Filter

While the stock 3.0, 3.3, & 3.6 metal Air Filter Housing looks impressively large and it’s filter IS large, the air flow through it is restrictive. With your 930 Turbo Engine’s larger ports, bigger cams, larger flow intercooler and turbocharger, and other upgrades, the restricted air flow of the metal air filter is a problem.

I’ve seen the small cylindrical mesh air filters installed on the CIS Air Meter that look like they came off an old four barrel carburetor, and they actually work better, but they can get clogged quickly with dust, oil fumes, and dirt.

Evolution Motorsports makes a “Turbo Power Flow” Air Filter unit. I have evaluated one of the early prototypes.

Unfortunately, a customer was desperate to buy the prototype and sold it within a few days. I ended up selling nearly every one I put on my own engine, as it really works! For a built turbo engine it is a must. I was skeptical of this air filter at first, but was completely surprised at the instant pick up I experienced, especially

fig 8. Stock on top, compare thickness center. and POWERFLOW.

on the freeway when say cruising at 65, and you have a need for sudden thrust.

Comparing this between a sock metal air filter, even with a new, clean, K&N Element inside it, the difference was dramatic. The Power Flow gave me boost in 4th gear, that then gave hard thrust within 2 seconds, whereas with the stock filter I had to wait, and it was

I have evaluated many ignition systems on the 911 and 930 Turbo, and to this day I like the standard BOSCH 6-pin CDI ignition system. As it is well understood, in addition it is a repairable CDI box, and replacement parts for the ignition distributors are readily available.

• I like the late factory ignition distributors from the 1983- RoW (930/66) or the 1986- USA (930/68) distributors. Advance and boost retard curves are identical only basic ignition timing adjustments are different.

• I also use the 12 volt Bosch blue sport coil. * I never use the original turbo metal braided High Tension ignition cables, as they eventually lead to difficult to trace ignition misfires and blown smog checks!

• I recommend the o.e.m. 1992 factory C-2 turbo ignition cable sets for reliability. I have also used PermaTune® ignition replacement ‘CD’ boxes –which were an o.e.m. (original equipment) on many 911s and 930 Turbos.

Something to note is PermaTunes are much less expensive than the Bosch oem CDI units, however, PermaTune are not repairable.

Editor’s Message Continued From Page 7 first stop to making new friends in the PCA-OCR. We also have the usual “Woody’s BurgerBahn” in Huntington Beach.

This get together is usually the second Thursday of the month. For those of you who don’t know the history, “Woody’s” was a beach fixture in Long Beach for many years..all the way back to the 1950’s. Many hungry beach people have supped at Woody’s over the years.

We can do the same with our Porsche friends.

Ah, and Krispy Kreme donuts enter the picture. At the “Block of Orange” just off the 57 freeway you can descend into donut nirvana and meet up with your Porsche friends at the same time.

These people have the right idea for donut lovers, you walk in the door and odor assails you with lovely alluring

scent… and I dare you to eat just one.

The only thing is, take along some wet naps, otherwise your sticky, grubby little fingers will leave donut tracks all over your Porsche steering wheel.

And lastly, we have the “Porsche & Pancakes” meeting, which is usually the last week of the month down in Newport Beach. Not far from the boat basin you can enjoy two of my most favorite things in one sensory overload, this of course would be “Porsche’s & Pancakes”.

Hang around and kick the tires on some beautiful cars and then head inside for a buttery, syrupy, stack o’ cakes. Oh, I know the squeamish and sporting set will whimper about the calories and diet disaster, but as for me? I’ll do one more lap around the treadmill, thanks all the same.

All three of these do not require reservations, RSVP, or any kind of prenotice. they are open for you on the day and I guarantee you will find some car to look at and someone to talk with about your chariot. These are an easy and pleasurable way to slip into the Orange Coast Clan.

THE PARADE

It’s official, Mrs. Cooper and I are attending the Parade in 2016. As you may know, the national Porsche Club of America gathering will bein Vermont this year. I am so looking forward to this. I have only been to one other and that was the Monterey event way back in 2014. And this time we’ll have “Guy” alongside for some new adventuring.

I hope to see you there!
