Hello. I'm Dennis from Tucson, AZ and a proud owner of a 2003 Porsche 996 Turbo. I have a few cosmetic mods: Smoked lenses, All out on the stereo, and Upgraded wheels....About to do the exhaust drill-out mod I read about on here. LOL That's how I found this forum. I also own a 300ZXTT that I have been building for about 7 years. Up to 532RWHP and 544TQ on a toluene home brew gas mix. a little over 400HP on 91 octane. I have had my Porsche for a few months and itching to get more power as always. This looks like an active forum and I hope to be an active member here.

 

Welcome to the board

 

Welcome, another AZ native. If you make it up to the Phoenix area sometime, let us know.

 

I go up to Phoenix all the time with my Z-club...ProjectZ32 and hang out at the pavilions on sat nights. We have monthly meets there. I have been on the lookout for some Porsche people, but see more Lambo's and Ferrari's than Porsche's. I would love to get some locals to start going to the Sat night shows so I can meet some of you guys. I would love to learn more about this awesome machine. Anyone else on here from AZ?

Mine is the red Z with the mesh wheels in the link below. ProjectZ32 got 1st at Nissan nationals, I was in a feature in Zcar magazine. I want more action with the Porsche group too!!!

HI,Welcome....It sounds like we can all use some of that home brew gas mix on here,,can I buy some from you first??...lol.....OR better yet test it in your Porsche and give us the results first....lol.....You will enjoy this site...

 

I read an article written by a Porsche tech that made me try the toluene mix. It has 114 octane and is an amazing knock preventative. I can boost to 25psi on my 300zxTT with this mix. It will not hurt your cats or fuel lines under 40% mix. Been using it for many years in my Z car. Here is a quick link to some info about it. Sorry Cali...banned in your state. I have been using it in my 996TT for a few months. It will prevent timing pull when its 115 degrees out here. I will not drive my turbo charged cars w/o it.

First of all, Welcome! Second, where did you pick up your Z? I used to own a red Z32 TT and loved it but sold it eventually...Good to see they are still going strong!

 

Wellcome BOOSTTT if you like to mode cars you're at the right place.Those guys here break your wallet very fast and ease

 

post pics of your car please

 

I will never ever sell my Z. It has amazing potential for little cost. My buddy has over 800HP in his and I have seen over 1000HP on these. Upgrades are VERY cheap compared to the Porsche. I'm a little stunned how much things cost on the Porsche, but this has always been my dream car and I will likely have her forever. I'm not afraid to push my Z all out because parts are cheap. I will be much more gentle on my 996TT. Man, a full tune is only 100 bucks for the Z after a 450 dollar computer upgrade. I can run 5 different fuel maps with just a selector switch, 100 bucks per map. I'm just a little concerned now though because Nissan just stopped making OEM parts for these 20-year-old cars about 6 months ago. Amazing they made the VG30DETT engine and tranny at the factory for over 20 years! I don't want to come across all about the 300ZXTT, but that has consumed the last 7 or so years of my life. I did have a 1987 Carrera prior to the Z, but the heat here in AZ was killing it. I had to sell her, and I still get teary remembering the image of someone else driving her away. I am more financially stable now, so the Z and 996 will stay for good. My Fx45 is my daily driver. I'm hoping to see some innovators out there start fabricating good 996 parts at a more reasonable cost eventually. I hope to learn as much as possible about my 996. I have so many friends in the car building biz. I'm sure we can find some fabricators out there who can get results w/o the extreme costs.
