3.2 Carrera to 3.4 Carrera - Josh, NSW
After my initial conversation, I knew Michael was the expert to rebuild my Carrera’s engine. His has a passion for air cooled 911s, a deep understanding of what’s required to do the job properly, a broad network of parts suppliers and recommended smart options in order to build the engine I wanted. During the rebuild process Michael kept me superbly informed every step of the way. He provided updates via videos, calls and emails. I ended up with an awesome performing and sounding engine that puts a massive smile on my face every time I plant my right foot. Michael is THE engine guru, the best at what he does. Check out his You Tube channel and you’ll see that he lives and breathes air cooled Porsches.”

3.2 Carrera - Peter, Brisbane
Mike proved to be a no nonsense, enthusiast who prided himself on detailed technical knowledge, attention to detail, and as importantly, listened to my ongoing questions and concerns.... I was invited to observe revealed components to discuss options, and provided with numerous pertinent photographs and videos of both revelations and assembly progress, which enhanced confidence and my education. His detailed written reports will prove very useful in future. Overall, a satisfying experience, but much less expensive than vague quotations provided elsewhere.
Indeed so satisfying that I will continue seeking Mike’s expertise for important more technical maintenance tasks beyond the routine.
I have no hesitation in recommending any owner of a Porsche air cooled engine to liaise with Mike, should serious engine work be contemplated.

I found Michael through social media never having had a formal face to face meet and still have not met Mike due to Covid. That said all our dealings have been transparent with full honesty. I recommend Mike as a fair and honest business person without any shadow of doubt; if Mike accepts the project he commits and takes his roll seriously and wholeheartedly.
Mike has been exceptional throughout the process and very patient. I went into this totally green... absolutely no idea. Car was shipped from interstate and returned in better condition with Mike also tweaking other minor adjustments. We started discussing a standard build for a 3.0L but then my O.C.D. and greed took over. Mike’s help and advice all along the way was priceless very resourceful particularly to acquire parts for best value and how to achieve bang for buck - great work Mike.
Mike keeps full record at all critical points and I was able to stay up to date by also following his social media updates and regular email updates. His up to date correspondence was without question excellent with great photo records & explanatory videos. Also owe a special thanks to old mate in the USA, William Knight of Knightrace who also provided valuable advice & support to achieve our goal.
My intention was to build a responsive street car with potential to track but primarily for street fun. The final result is better than expected, a 3.5L with long stroke and excellent torque through the rev range. Great work Mike, bravo, standing ovation, well done, super happy, thanks for your dedication to achieve the brief. I highly recommend Michael D’Silva for personalised and tailored air-cooled engine building without exception. 10 out of 10. Very pleased - Angelo R. - Sydney
