Recommended Posts

A buddy decided to step up his HP. The goal for this car is around 1000 HP (825 WHP). I'm hoping to have it completed in 1 week.

 

GT3076 turbos

Custom Headers

Switzer Exhaust

2.5" Y-pipe

IPD plenum

82 GT3 Tbody

1200cc Injectors

AWE intercoolers

Sachs 764 clutch/LWFW

GT2 Slave conversion

 

Here's the status after day 1:

Holly Shyte! You guys don't mess around! All these mods are on the standard 997.1TT Mezger engine case? How much HP will the Mezger engine handle without self destruction...curious? I thought it was around 800HP.

The Mezger "completely stock" will take 1000 HP (Tuned properly of course). I put down 855 WHP for 1 year with zero signs of stress on the engine. After 1000 HP, the rods and head studs need to be upgraded. The rest of the engine is good to 1200 HP. After that, I recommend new pistons/liners. The stock heads will rev to 7500 RPM, but above that need new springs.

 

I'll be pushing 1500-1600 HP with a stock case.

Absolutely beautiful build!!! (Jeckle and Hyde) ...still a daily driver and capable of slaying most anything (expect for black 997TT convertables) on the road!!

Like others before me, I cant wait to see this on the street! A few questions:

- do you need to run a special fuel?

- are the turbos watercooled?

- planning on doing the "Texas Mile"?

I struggled tracking down a cranking issue for the past 2 days. It turns out it was the tune for the Cobb Accessport. Hours wasted, but glad it's resolved. Electrical issues can be tough to hunt down.

 

This car is running on pump gas / Methanol injection. The owner will fill up at the pumps like any car, and every 2nd or 3rd fill will have to top up the Methanol in his frunk.

 

These turbos are water cooled. I used 2 factory lines with adapters on the turbos and 2 custom made water lines.

 

I don't think this car will do the Texas Mile. He just wanted to step up his power and got a deal he couldn't refuse on the parts & labour ;) I'd be interested in taking my car to a couple 1/2 mile events to see how it would do.

He picked up this car today. It was the first time it saw the road since the build. Absolutely beautiful. Starts/runs/drives exactly like it did stock. I'll have to upload some pics/exhaust clips as this post is useless without them :)

As mentioned earlier, we took this beast on it's first 'cruise' yesterday. The build is simply HUGE, and to see it done in a week??...crazy!

The cars sounds just ferocious and yet runs like it did before any mods!! (very Porsche like;)
