997 GT3/RS Performance Mod Thread******

[Ritesh]

Wow - great thread.

Sadly, I am completely stock for now.

[GTS-R]

In chronological order:
Cargraphic front radiator screens
997 GT3 carbon seats
Champion RS98 wheels
GT3 cup front lip
Sharkwerks exhaust bypass

Don't regret any of them.

I am running the FVD headers and race exhaust. This a mod that nobody gave it any respect. I really get a kick from it because no system has made more horsepower and torque.
Right now with headers and software the car has made 392 rwhp (460 bhp). This is without a 3.8L or greater conversion. There will be more with software modification.

Someone mentioned running 325 rear tires but I ca not see that. How my suspension is set up they won't fit. I am running Dymags presently but the chronic leak is pissing me off.

I have provided dyno graphs in the past but I know nobody gives a sh!t about FVD.

Cheers gentlemen,

Ranger

GT3 Ranger, I've been looking at the FVD upgrades. I'm glad you provided input.

Thats great Dyno number, but 392whp in a gt3 wont be 460hp (thats 18% drivetrain loss) i believe thats tooo much especially that the engine is in the rear.

Those aero mods look very interesting. Will these be available to RS owners as well? Saw on your website that there will be a 400mm Ceramic Brake kit? Any solid specs and pics of it? When will it be available? There is a 380mm kit (which I'm assuming is the regular Brembo GT kit. (like the yellow ones on your GT3) What is the 370mm kit?

Any news on your Titanium Supercup exhaust with RSR tips? Looks loud!

Thanks!

Hey WildBill if you'd like more info about the FVD headers and exhaust system let me know. I can PM details, pics, videos and dyno graphs etc...
This system shaves off 42 lbs from the rear. No other manufacturer makes as much power and the midrange gains in rwhp and rw torque are outrageous.
The sound is sweet but to go even more crazy lately I've been thinking of adding the Sharkwerke's center by-pass set up. The problem I'm afraid is the law will not have a sense of humor about the exhaust note. It wound even take a few more lbs off.
I only know of one other 6speed member who runs the FVD headers. He went for them based on my comments of the system and he loves them.
They come with 200 cell cats built to the collectors.

brn-997tt, the numbers I gave are based on 15% DT loss. Check the math .
Some have considered it as low as 10% but I feel that's to low. The actual DT loss maybe between 12 - 15%.

Let me know if you have any interest.

Cheers,
Ranger

tell me about the law, American car is okay for being loud, not us. Hahaha I want a N1 apex I on my car, but they will eventually pull me over.

A few pics of the GT3. Many features underneath. The most difficult mod to obtain was the titanium lugs from Poggipollini. Useless waste of $1K but you can say you have them.

With Cup suspension components and the settings as they are I could not run a 325 in the rear without rubbing. I do not want to raise the ride height. Present set up is aggressive and awesome on the track.

My thanks to the guys at Champion Motorsport for all their work. They have taken great care of the GT3.
There will be more software work to be done to improve hp production.

Cheers,
Ranger

Ranger.....

I did check my math and 15% of 392whp is 450hp not 460hp....

Cheers....
