My car has 50k on the clock and runs great. However, I am craving more power ...so if were to throw one of these bad-boys on, would it be too hard on my motor? Also is it a DIY project, or does it involve a massive ammount of shop hours to install?

 

It willl not be rto hard for your engine. Can be done yourself, but alot of work.

 

I love mine, and it has 40k on her at the moment...

 

My car has 45k on the odometer. The supercharger is fairly tame and conservative at 6psi of boost, but its make a night and day difference. The power is just liked stock, but increased 30-40%. You will also experience no lag, the supercharger is very linear. My favorite mod so far. I also end up with a huge smile on my face after I drive the Porsche.

 

I will second what Drift said. I wouldn't do it as a DIY though. Took my shop about 35 hrs even though it only takes Evo about 15. I've got almost 50k miles on my car and did this about 1 1/2 years ago at 44k. No problems at all. Accelerates like a different car altogether.

Good luck

 

I trusted it so much I put one on my brand new C4S. The power is positively intoxicating. You will love it. I put down 411 HP at the wheels. Thats close to 500 at the crank. SWEET!

I do not recommend doing the mod your self unless you are very competent mechanic. Should take a good mechanic about 20-25 hours to install.

 

I put my SC in with less than a year on the clock. I like it....ALOT!

 

What effect did the SC have on gas mileage?

And is the kit CA smog legal?

John

 

no not smog legal but evoms keeps saying it's in the works

do it only if you have a newer car and don't need to get it smogged for another 5-6 years. i have a '99 so i would have to remove the SC kit evry 2 years for it to pass smog. it supposedly runs clean but it won't pass the visual test. if you know somebody who knows somebody who can turn a blind eye then ...

 

Same profile here Carlos. I'll keep my eyes open but think you're spot on...

 

Have any of you guys do any 0-60 or quarter mile runs yet? Curious to see what a 12K mod does.

 

Ruf replaces engine internal components in any car with > 40K miles, and warranties the engine for 2 yrs. I'd be careful with the boost, nothing is free, added power has a price on the wear/tear of your motor.

 

for 25K you get all that . at that level might as well and do a TT/gt3 engine conversion

 

I'm just saying that the boost may cause a problem on a motor like his with 50k, afterall look what Ruf does for 40k. Just food for thought.

 

ya, makes total sense. i suppose one could do their own "reinforcing" the block/postons, rods, etc., for boost and come out still under 25K but no warranty. but maybe who cares? one could pick up another 996 engine for 6~7K. of course, that is not the point.
