Updates

Spec Stage 3 Clutch and Flywheel is currently getting installed this week with the K24 turbos with 18G wheel and upgraded wastegates. We are still waiting for the 997 TT intake ducting to arrive from Germany as well as the 997 TT intercooler brackets.

The Racers Group also just sent out their beefier drop links to replace the broken JIC ones. My estimate is the car should be ready to deliver back to 3C in 1-2 weeks for the rear bumper installation. After a color sand and buff the car should be ready.

First thing after delivery will be a trip to a Dyno to see how much power the car is putting down. I hope to be in the 500-520 RWHP range.

Thanks to everyone who has followed this build thread. The last 6 months of the build process have been tedious and stressing but the final product will be well worth it.

I need to thank all the sponsors who believed in this project from the start and have supplied their expertise, products, hours of labor to help me realize my vision.

Thanks to 3C Body, Auto Talent, Spec Clutch, Agency Power, Evolution Motorsports, Brembo, Protomotive, BASF Paint, MA Carbon, Vivid Racing, The Racers Group, 996 Wings, GMG Racing, Techart and CEC.

 

The final details and adjustments are taking the longest. Car is still currently at Auto Talent. I have been waiting on the factory 997 turbo air ducts to arrive from Germany. They have been on special order for 2 months. I just picked up a set of 1.2 bar wastegates yesterday for the K24 turbos from Speed Gallery. Its a never ending process. I keep on finding more and more things to purchase for the car. Right now I am thinking of purchasing the 75mm throttle body and 75mm IPD plenum.

After all the engine work the car will be strapped on a dyno to see what kind of power it is putting down. I am hoping 520-540 to the wheels which would be around 600 flywheel HP. Then its back to 3C to install the new 993 vented style hood, install the Techart Rear Bumper and color sand the entire car. I don't think I will have the actual car back to drive until mid to late April.

Auto talent is currently installing or has installed.

That looks like it was tons of work but damn does it look good.

 

looking nice man.. i hope she puts down the numbers your looking for..

 

Subscribed. Lots of blood and sweet went into this man. I know first hand how much work is involved in doing something like this. Awesome.

 

I might have missed it earlier, what are the other mods planned for with regards to interior, wheels, and especially brakes?

Gorgious work to date! Love that color!

Thx for sharing. Very impressive!

 

Just got word from Sam at Auto Talent all performance mods will be finished by next week.

 

Vince when we putting the 650 kit in?

 

Im asking this question becasue I am thinking of installing the cargraphic 997GT3 extra wider fenders and thinking how much extra i will get...
Does the 997TT have a wider track at the front because of its wheel setup and not suspension? I assume the fenders are wider.

I just checked 996TT stock wheel and its 8J ET50 and 997TT is 8.5J ET56, my calcs says the outer wheel is the same?? But I know the track is wider 1465mm v 1490mm. I guess im missing something??
