how to tell narrow body from wide body 996
Ok 1999 996 non turbo is this a narrow body
|
In 996's.....Turbos and C4S are widebody.
|
Let's not forget the GT3 is also narrow body
|
I think they have 4cm difference...
|
Widebody:-
2001-2005 Turbo, Turbo S 2002-2005 C4S 2002-2005 GT2 is 996 GT3 RS Widebody? |
So is the turbo and c4s the same chassis

Ok so are you able to swap a 996 tt moter in a c4s
|
yes, i looked for it too and everybody told me that a C4s cannot be converted to TT.
So either sell the C4s and spend 10-12K more to get a 996TT or buy aftermarket conversion turbos from another company |
You could swap an LS7 into it ......if you have enough time and money.hilarious

Putting a GT1 Block in a Carrera would cost so much you might as well buy a turbo or GT2. Would probably be cheaper. |

Nope. They made them widebodies on the 997, but the 996 RS is a narrow body.

LOL. I didn't realize the engine, tranny, and some minor aerodynamic features only account for 5% of the car. hilarious
