Most important thing is HOW THOSE POINIES RUNhilarious

We've seen proves of those bolt ons with 700-800-1000 runing great times...You can put 3.8-4.0 liter kit and which ever heads you want and still wont run those times...

TIMES speak for themselves...not even talking about DYNO numbers...

Hey Dan! how's the project coming along? I've heard of Vivid since they had their Mitsu Evos, That said, I back Dan to deal with whatever obstacle he has to in order to achieve is goal of 800HP! Now show us more pix! :-)

Porsche_911 Feb 19, 2009 05:16 PM

Regardless if it's ponies or horses. I want them as long as it's in huge amount. hilarious

porche997turbo Feb 21, 2009 06:55 AM

very interesting project, looks like your doing a great job, looking forward to seeing it done.

vividracing Feb 21, 2009 11:08 AM

Well there are many reasons to go with actual Garrett turbos instead of these hybrid setups. Ultimately, faster spool, greater power, and the ability to have a huge turbo setup :) But with a non bolt on turbo comes issues. Garrett turbos require the use of oil and waterlines. But unlike the 996TT, taking the stock oil line out of the block is not that easy. The factory 997TT turbo is also water cooled, but those Germans created an oddity push fitting. So we have to do the unthinkable. Convert a German to AMURICAN!

Since the Garrett turbo requires standard American fittings for the oil lines and waterlines, we cut the fittings off each line and then metal soldered on new AN fittings which will then connect to the appropriate banjo bolt or fitting to go to the turbo. Slow process, I know. But in the end, this will become a complete bolt on Garrett Turbo Kit for installation.

All that is left now is for super fabricator Jason to finish the top Ypipe and connect all the dots. Once that is done, we will put everything together and see if it fires up without leaking :) Now there will probably be a GAZILLION check engine lights, but that is ok. Once we know everything is good, the clutch will be pulled and sent to ClutchMasters to be beefed up. While that is done, the pipes will go to powdercoat and get jigged. Then master ECU tuner Scott from Softronic will make this thing rip out 800 HP to the crank. Oh yeah, will have to install a Greddy EBC too :)

Stay tuned and keep watching at www.vividracing.com/forums/project-997tt

vividracing Feb 25, 2009 10:03 AM

Closer... closer... closer. Trust me it is killing me! But Jason our master fabricator is kicking ass! He will have the Ypipe completed today to work with our Carbon Fiber Air Intake or the OEM intake and factory boost hoses. We wanted to keep all parts modular. You can also see the intercoolers are in place and the new oil and water lines are attached. Soon!
