🏷️ Basic Information Identification Make: Porsche Model: 911 Generation Generation Designation: G-Series Codes Internal Chassis Code: 911 (G-Series) 👋 Introduction Market Position Positioning: The Porsche 911 (G-Series) represents a significant evolution of the iconic 911, bridging the gap between the early impact bumper models and the later G50 transmission cars. It's a cornerstone for enthusiasts and collectors of air-cooled Porsche vehicles. Competitive Analysis Competition: During its production run, the 911 competed with other luxury and performance sports cars of the era, including models from Ferrari, Lamborghini, Jaguar, and Aston Martin, often setting benchmarks for handling and driver engagement. Key Features Vehicle Highlights: Renowned for its rear-engine layout, exceptional handling, distinctive styling, and the iconic air-cooled flat-six engine. The G-Series introduced the impact bumper system and saw continuous refinement of the drivetrain and chassis. 📋 Manual Details Coverage Areas Covered Model Years: 1972-1983 Covered Models Variants: All 911 variants from 1972-1983 (e.g., 911, 911S, Carrera, Carrera RS, 930 Turbo, Targa, Cabriolet where applicable within the period) Page Count Estimated Page Count: Detailed page count not provided, but expected to be extensive for a complete workshop manual covering over a decade of production.

Binding Type Binding: N/A (Digital Download) Paper Type Paper Type: N/A (Digital Download) ⚙️ Engine Specifications Primary Engine Engine Type: Air-cooled, naturally aspirated, horizontally opposed (flat) six-cylinder (M930/M64 series, though M64 denotes later 3.0 SC/Carrera and 3.2 Carrera). Engine Variants Engine Displacements: 2.7L, 3.0L, 3.2L. Specific displacements include 2687cc (911/83, 911S), 2994cc (911/83, 930, 911 SC), 3164cc (911 Carrera 3.2). Performance Horsepower Range: Approximately 150 hp (early 2.7) to 231 hp (Carrera 3.2). Turbocharged variants (930 Turbo) produced significantly more power. Torque Range: Varies by engine variant, typically from around 230 Nm to 280+ Nm. Fuel System Fuel Delivery: Carbureted (e.g., Solex, Zenith for early models), Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection (CIS - Continuous Injection System) for 911 SC and Carrera 3.2 models. Ignition System Ignition Type: Distributor-based, breaker-point or electronic ignition depending on the year and model variant. Cooling System Cooling Type: Air-cooled via a central fan, with extensive oil cooling through a front-mounted oil cooler. Lubrication System Oil Circulation: Dry-sump lubrication with a separate oil tank (typically located in the front luggage compartment for early models, integrated for later ones). 🔧 Transmission Standard Transmission Type: 5-speed manual transaxle (e.g., 915 gearbox). Early 1972 models might have a 4-speed manual option. Optional Optional Transmission: Tiptronic automatic transmission was not available during this G-Series period. Sportomatic (semi-automatic) was available in earlier years, but less common by the mid-70s. Features Gearbox Notes: The 915 gearbox is known for its distinct shift pattern and requiring a deliberate driver input. Later models (from 1987 onwards, outside this manual's scope) introduced the G50 gearbox. Fluid Specification Transmission Fluid: Typically SAE 90 or 80W-90 GL-5 gear oil. Specific viscosity may vary by year and operating temperature. Refer to manual for exact spec. 📐 Dimensions Exterior Length: Varies slightly by year and model. Approx. 4235 mm (166.7 in) for early models, increasing slightly for later impact bumper cars. Width: Approx. 1670 mm (65.7 in) for early models, wider for 'S' and Turbo variants. Height: Approx. 1280 mm (50.4 in). Weights Curb Weight: Approximately 1080 kg to 1200 kg (2380 lbs to 2645 lbs) depending on model and specifications. Wheelbase: 2271 mm (89.4 in). Track Width Front: Approx. 1372 mm (54.0 in). Track Width Rear: Approx. 1340 mm (52.8 in). 🛡️ Safety Features Ratings Crash Testing Era: Modern crash testing standards were nascent. Vehicles of this era were not subjected to the...
