I knew we should have changed the damn coolant reservoir when the engine was out, but we didn't. Lesson learned and a new one is on the way from Porsche, got a lot to do next week and some customers cars in the way, hopefully I can get everything done in time to get her out on the track.

Just got our track wheels in from CCW. John set us up with his latest in the Corsair lineup the C2K. I originally saw these at the PRI show and thought they would be a great addition to the project both functionally and aesthetically. We placed the order on Monday and had them on Wednesday. Toyo supplied their R888 tires in a 235/40zr18 and 315/30ZR18 fitment, more agressive tires will be available to us using these wheels in the future when we convert to RWD and go with a more agressive track alignment. For now this setup should offer a great improvement for the additional power we plan on making.

We had the car out this weekend at a local car show Cars for the Cure in Lake Mary, FL. We just got the car running in time and also installed our new KW Suspension. We've got a few details left to finish such as a final tune by Tony @ EPL and a corner balance and alignment. We've also got a GMG Rollbar and Status racing seats on the way to help keep things safe when we're out on the track. The car was very well received at the jam packed show, and looks very aggressive with it's new lowered stance, gt2 front end, and MA Shaw track wing setup. I'm anxious to get things wrapped up in the next few weeks so we can begin testing the car for TX2K9 in March.
got to admit these cars are damn near identical, cant wait to get to a track together!!!

Should be fun, I'll admit we've built ours to be more of a straight line competitor, but given the modifications she should also fair very well on the road course. I'm really anxious to try the Motec out with track mapping for data acquisition in the future to get a better idea, speed based boost control could make the back straight at Sebring a lot of fun with 650-700hp on tap lol.

After a few busy weeks we finally got a chance to get Project 996tt on the dyno for some initial tuning with our new K24/18G+ kit. After a few busy weeks in the shop working on customers cars and a short weight for a few final missing parts we strapped her on our in-house dynojet in RWD format to begin tuning and get some power to the ground.
We've slowly been turning up the boost on the car and dialing in the tune with the help of Tony Chick from EPL's using their new dealer flash tool. The flashing has been flawless and the process of uploading a new file to the car takes mere minutes. We've seen great results so far at lower boost levels and will be turning the boost up a couple ticks in the next week or two to get even more power out of the setup. Using our new fuel system is working great and ad 1.31 bar we where only at 55% duty cycle on the injectors, so we have plenty of room to go for more boost, we'll likely stop at 1.4-1.5bar on race fuel as this should be a good point for hard usage on the stock engine.
First Pass on low boost (1.15 bar):
60' 1.729
330 4.889
1/8 7.404
MPH 100.83
1000 9.535
1/4 11.293
MPH 126.79
Second Pass with a bit more boost (1.31 bar)
60' 1.882
330 4.957
1/8 7.306
MPH 105.99
1000 9.344
1/4 11.051
MPH 130.34
We’ll be doing a bit more tuning this week, hopefully turning the wick up for a bit more power. Chris Green @ USP Motorsports is sending a set of his intercoolers for us to use on the car, that should help keep the intake temperatures down as the boost gets turned up. Now that we’ve gone quicker than 11.5X twice, the track has also requested we install a roll bar. We’re going to take some time to install our GMG cage and new Status seats and try to get rid of some more dead weight in the interior. Progress is always a good thing and with a near 10 second pass on only our 2nd pass, I’m quite happy with where we’re heading.
