By Design - John Bray 991TTS Motor Build
As you all know I had oil issues with my car when I ran the Mojave Mile there was so much oil that it blew back into the cylinders where it acted like fuel and melted a couple of plugs, **** happens really fast at 200+mph. So I trailered the car to Sams shop, ( Actually his house ) then it went to his shop. Sam called up John Bray and shipped the motor to Evo-Spec to dismantle and make sure everthing there were no major issues, after John had it apart Sam/John and myself came up with a plan. You will all be glad to here the HP and Torque my car was putting out the stock rods were straight as an arrow. Here is what we came up with to beef up the bottom end to withstand 1,100whp ( because you never know when you might need a little extra power ) Carrillo rods and 12mm Head studs. On the Power side we went with Stage 2 cams and a CNC port job on the heads along with Inconel valves. I am still going to use VTG's turbos so see what kind of power we can make, Were not going to get to much more on the VTG's as they are pretty much maxed. Should I Decide to ditch the vtg's then the Cams and head work will really pay dividends. Motor should be back next week, Here are probably the first pictures you will see of the 991 TTS motor.
Just wanted to say thanks again to Sambo for pulling all this off and being there when he was needed.

Milaad was there with me for 6 hours trying to figure out what was going on. When I tried to reflash the tune the battery went dead so the car was stuck in limbo land, and we couldnt even get the car in neutral to push on the trailer. My wife went to the auto parts store and came back with a new battery then we were able to reflash and got the car back to where we could get it into Neutral.

Cheers Mark! While we were in there it was kind of a no-brainer to beef up the 3.8. Guys Mark is an extremely dedicated and experienced racer. We are going to clinch some serious records out here even if they are snatched from yourself LOL abs it's my pleasure to support you buddy. We are friends first and foremost so I can't wait to get back out there with you!
I've got to say also the camaraderie is just top level with members here. I have spoken to Milaad a few times and he such a nice guy. A total enthusiast who showed great support that day. Thanks from both of us!
I've known John at EvoSpec for many years but never had the pleasure of working directly with him. The guy is so professional and on point. He values customer service and quality just as much as I do and he builds the most powerful engines out there for our cars. I think this is the beginning of a beautiful thing. We have a few other projects going on so get ready for some awesome collaborations from us on this platform and others.
Mark, I think we will have your engine next week and it gives me just enough time to button up a few big projects and get you back on the rack. We've been draining all of that oil and cleaning everything up so we can put it back together for you. We should probably also get back on the dyno and see how we do. She should be stronger even on the same exact set up with that extra head flow. And it's nice to know that we can take it to the next level easily because I know you're going to want to!

Tip: When you re-install the engine and PDK, make sure you do the full PDK re-adaptation procedure with a PIWIS. Not only the programming part, but also the road driving sequence. Any time communication with the PDK is cut off, you have to go through this all over again otherwise you'll end up with all sorts of PDK drivability issues and fault codes that will mess with the car.
