This is a great upgrade. You will need to remove a gear from the PS pump that prevents it from continuing to pump to a hydraulic clutch slave that no longer exists. Also, make sure you flush the clutch hydraulic lines with liberal amounts of brake fluid before you put in the new master. Otherwise leftover Pentosin will eat the rubber seals in the new master. Mine failed quickly after install, not sure if it was Pentosin or just a defect but I had to put in a new slave. I would not have another Porsche without this upgrade....

 

(bought this piece + the other stuff too)

Thx Don, looks like a very solid piece. Now it needs to go in.

 

Where to get the plugs?

Went through this manual, nowhere it says to drop the tranny - does that mean it is not necessary, or just self-explanatory that it has to be done in order to reach all places?

 

I think you can do it without dropping the tranny, but the plug for the pressure line is at a break that is where the engine and "bellhousing" meet, and it's way too tight for my paws to get in, even with water lines, axle shifted, etc. I'm sure it can be done tranny on, but I've been saving mine to do with the clutch this Winter.
It's not a difficult mod. Just tight spaces which make really frustrating.

 

Good info, I appreciate this input. So in other words prob a good thing to do during LSD install which a race shop will assist me with. Just eager to get the power assist system out of the car, so annoying - and my clutch spring creaks like an old door, drives me nuts.

 

I just bought the $989 conversion kit from EVOMS and although I requested instructions and was told I would get them, nothing showed up by email or in the box. Obviously couldn't do it without the installation instructions and the files in this thread.

Thinking about doing this mod too. When I leave my car for a day or two the car will not go into gear until I pump the clutch 5-10 times. Is this because there is air in the system? Sometimes the clutch gets stuck and I have to bring it up?
I changed accumalator about 6 months ago.

 

I am not sure about your symptoms, but I think they have been discussed in this forum. I had the classic symptoms of the overflowing Pentosin reservoir in the front trunk that led me to either doing stock replacement of slave/accumulator or going the GT2 route. I'm doing the GT2 conversion.

Mike, I would be doing the same exact thing if I were you.
Mine, just might be air but still considering the slave conversion.

 

I just bought their kit also. Rod emailed me the instructions on a zip file. pm me your email address and I'll forward it to you.

 

Thanks Jimmy got it.

 

Thanks. I can't PM yet, but soon I will have posted the fact that I can't PM, I'll have 15 posts and I will be able to PM.
I'm at kraftwerk911@hotmail.com

 

I'm trying to source the parts for the conversion as well and I saw this too.
It says the FTE is an oem supplier to porsche but there is a price difference. Does anyone know if there is actually a difference in quality or just porsche name that's jacking up the price? Thanks in advance

 

I have bought a genuine GT2 slave and the OEM one that came in EVOMS kit. I assume EVOMS bought/sold the OEM version. The body and hydraulics were identical. The genuine one came with the rod as shown in Pelican's picture. The rod is too short for the conversion - it has to be replaced with the stock 996tt one.

EVOMS modified the slave cyl by tapping one of the mounting flange holes for the bolt that holds it to their bracket. This hole needs to be tapped squarely, or there will be stress on the slave cyl housing.

I did not use the slave cyl that came with the EVOMS kit, although, I did pressure test it hydraulically with a bench-top rig. It is threaded and ready to be mounted to the bracket. If you are interested in purchasing it and some of the other conversion pieces, let me know.

 

I wrote full instructions, prices and were I got them from to build and install yor own kit. Saves yourself $550 bucks just do a forum search. Under Thread: Built and installed my own gt2 mod kit with instructions
All the info you would need is there
