I know this topic has been discussed to death, but I'm trying to find out where everyone has purchased their GT2 conversion kits. I have read multiple threads on this forum concerning the failed accumulator/slave problems. It appears that most agree that the GT2 conversion is worth the extra money in parts. In my particular problem, the clutch is hard to push in on cold start and I noticed that the pentosin fluid started to leak in the front.

Is it best to buy this as a kit or to buy parts separately? Any information for anyone who has done this is greatly appreciated. I was going to just replace with factory Porsche parts, but it seems that the GT2 conversion is the way to go.

Does anyone know if there are additional parts that need to be changed in addition to the parts in a kit? I have read that some use the EVOMS kit. Any others out there? Thanks

 

You are correct - GT2 conversion and be done. John or Chad at Speed Tech have the kits.

 

GT2 is the only way to go. Just got a new clutch and had the GT2 conversion done, made a world of difference.

Now for the gt3 shift console conversion

Go GT2. Now's the time.

 

If your gearbox is out then a better way to do it is to drill and tap your tranny case and install OEM GT2 parts just like Porsche designed it. You end up saving about $500 by not having to buy the bracket which will offset the labor. No issues with slave rod lengths either. No matter how you do it, make sure your shop disassembles the power steering pump and removes the drive coupler otherwise you will have undue strain on the pump along with possibly some noise. If you want to truly do it like OEM then install a GT2 power steering pump and GT2 reservoir allowing you to remove all existing hydraulic lines in the process. It's what I did and then sold all the removed parts on the site thus recouping a large portion of the cost on the GT2 parts. No matter how you do it, its a great mod.

 

Plus one do the mod, really worth it. If your mechanically inclined you can build the kit for under $500
I posted instructions on how to do it. You can find it by doing a search. "Gt2 mod plus instructions" need to be mechanically inclined but totally doable. If your not mechanical buy one of speedtechs kits and get it installed. You won't be sorry.

 

I'd love to drive a GT2 converted car back to back with a stock car with the helper spring removed.

I do know (from 1st hand experience) you can change the clutch and slave for stock in about 3.5-4 hours, plus a small amount of time to remove that helper spring. Not sure how long it takes to install the GT2 conversion.
