I hear that the current non asperated 911 engine is going to be used in the 2010 TT. If this engine does not have the ability to be modded above 550 hp, will the values on the 996/997tt's with the boxter engine possibly hold value or even go up? This is just what I heard, does anyone know for sure?

 

uhmm how could it be a *TT* without a turbo...

 

um what?

 

who?

 

Yes, per my understanding it will be a twin turbo but based on the current non turbo engine like the current non turbo 911's. This engine or a variant of it is supposed to be used in the 2010 911 tt. I guess Porsche is trying to cut costs and not use the 60k engine we have in the 996/997tt but rather use the lesser expensive 911 engine and turbo charge it. I could be wrong or it could be a rumor but my friend says he read this in autoweek.

 

No dry sump GT1 block and instead use the next gen M96 motor?

 

i would like to see that article .i highly dount that they would boost a motor that was not meant to be boosted..... it would end up costing them more money in the lung run.

 

A91 vs boxter/Metzer 964.

 

Metzger engine. Sorry I had wrong spelling. So what I get from this is the next gen 911 all cars with same eng. I will try post link.

All you do to get a motor ready for boost via turbo or supercharger is change pistons or head chamber size to lower the compression ratio. Once boost is on the compression ratio goes up. There are other things good about the old engines (turbo) but you can turbo almost anything.

 

Like the aircooled vs watercooled discussions, I can imagine the GT1 TT vs A91 TT holy wars happening in a few years.

 

You also need stronger rods to handle boost.

 

next turbo is going to be sometype of a hybrid.

 

no turbo makes no sense, especially when car manufacturers are racing for ways to make more powerful supercars that are more fuel efficient. many new supercars will probably be turbos or sc/ed in the future (reminiscent of the late 80s and early 90s).

 

Agreed. But the block must be able to handle 800 HP+ without cracking to satisfy this crowd.
