Just curios to know who else has a TT with a 3.8 liter converstion? I would like to compare my kit to other kits? This is an open forum so please feel free to let me know what you think or care to share. My car is a Protomotive 3.8 liter kit built by Akram. It has Protos full conversion to include gt35 with 3.5 inch inlet ducts, and there y pipe. The car runs great and thus far no problems. I am going back in a week to have the heads, cam, porting done similar to Scott's car. I will be shoting for the 900 to the wheels???? who knows?? I have one video from this weekend which I am passing a Supra? Just to show a comparasion of cars. Sincerely interested to now if there are any other running 996 TT 3.8 liters?
Robert

 

I doubt that there are many like yours, Rob.

Is the 900 all motor, or w/ Nitrous?

Car is definately a freakin monster.

 

who's supra

 

Should be all motor when the new cam and heads are put back in.

 

Akram has the video, he was in the surpra have him send you the video.

 

Here is the huge Y pipe on the car... with the juice.

 

that's gorgeous! do you find that you can run lower PSI and make more power throughout the RPM range? what do your dyno charts look like? I have great interest in a street machine that is both A) crushingly fast and B) capable of living on the street and putting SERIOUS daily-driver-miles on the car without incident.

 

Sincerely
Robert

 

WOW !!!

Texas Mile Here We Come!!

Speed,

You would definately not want a 900 rwhp as a daily driver.

A stage 2 awd would be a better choice.

With all due respect, I’ll believe it when I see it!!!! The following is a dyno graph for a GT700 (before the Hitachi MAF – the new dyno is even more impressive):



Rob, are you really claiming that your car has made 864 RWHP (614 + 250) and 850 RWTQ (600 + 250), with full torque at 4500 RPMS (4300 + 200)? Like I said, I’ll believe it when I see it.

Rob, you have been relentlessly touting your car for several months now, with numerous claims of monumental power and performance, but you consistently refuse to disclose any objective data to support your claims. Moreover, I am informed by several sources that you have consistently misrepresented various issues concerning your car.

My favorite of your nonsensical posts dates back to May 18, when you wrote:

Back in May, you wrote that your car was "finishing in two weeks vs. 12 months" and you went on to describe the “sound” as "a EVOMS eater". However, you conspicuously declined to disclose any power or performance data for your new “EVOMS eater” that you completed in a mere two weeks. Rather, you relied solely on the "sound" of your killer car. At the time, I heard reports that your car was not in fact running and your above post was disingenuous at best, but I bit my tongue and remained silent.

Then, 2.5 months later, we learned that, notwithstanding your “two week completion” pronouncement, your car was not completed even as of July 29: https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/showthread.php?t=92147&page=2 . This thread was particularly insightful for several reasons, beyond the discovery that your May 18 post was disingenuous. You posted a glowing recommendation of your engine builder, Akram:

However, when I subsequently posted that, according to information I learned from several sources, your engine had been plagued by “under-torqued head studs, some sort of bolt being too deep, and blown head gaskets,” your silence was deafening. https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/showpost.php?p=1253202&postcount=33 . Instead, your made the following pronouncement:

As promised, you brought your car to RSI on August 4, but you conveniently kept your car far from the dyno (even though it was a "dyno day"). Thus, we were left to see if you would fulfill your promise to “release all dyno stats at Texas Jam 18 of August” – an event that you publicized with obsessive compulsive intensity. Predictably, you did NOT “release all dyno stats” on August 18, nor at any time since. Meanwhile, I continued to hear stories from various sources that your car was mired with problems, and your posts to the contrary were disingenuous.

Now, in response to a direct inquiry regarding “what your dyno charts look like,” you make the bold claim that your car has recorded 864 RWHP and 850 RWTQ (at 4500 rpms). That’s more HP and TQ than Scott, and more TQ than Mark (I forgot what his HP figure is). With all due respect, I call BS!!! If you had actually made this power, you would have posted your dyno charts faster than a horny adolescent bursts his nut.

POST YOUR DYNO CHART ROB!!! Prove me wrong and I will gladly apologize for questioning your veracity. Otherwise, admit that you have not made the power you claimed in your above post, cease your disingenuous comments about your all-mighty car, and pipe down until you actually produce data to match your hyperbole.

Respectfully,

Craig

Ps: I can certainly sympathize with the headaches inherent in a project of this nature, and I genuinely hope that Rob’s car ultimately runs as good as he claims (I suspect it may when all is said and done). What chaps my hide is Rob’s disingenuous posts, bogus claims, and passive aggressive assault on others that patronize the tuner that refused to work on Rob’s car (for good reason). If you want to see how a gentleman posts about a project of this nature, both before and after dyno results are obtained, sans the hyperbole and sniping, take a look at Scott and JoeTwinT.
