I love how build threads get hyped up then all of it sudden it goes completely quiet. It usually mean the car blew up or have a lot of problems.

 

Umm...not sure what you're talking about. This car was completed, updated in another thread by the owner, and has since been sold.

Actually it was back in our shop a few weeks ago for an oil change and still runs strong as ever!

 

Link please!

 

Reviving an old thread.

I'm starting to consider a 3.8L conversion on my 997.1 GT2RS clone. I have pretty much everything Champion WRT externals (intercoolers, turbos, etc.), running a custom COBB tune.
Odd thing is, I'm pretty sure I have the 68mm VTG Champion turbos, however you guys only sell the 65mm turbos for the 997.1 now. Odd.

Are you guys offering this as a full 3.8L conversion kit? Can you PM me costs?
Obviously I'm shopping around for price, power and reliability - who would you recommend as a second choice, EVOMS?

 

Doing the same 3.8 build myself right now gt2 turbos with 68m mm wheels

 

Cool! Have you decided on a supplier for the 3.8L build?

 

BBI is doing it

 

I'm sure it will be awesome but why are you sticking with vtgs? I love vtgs but after going Xona I don't see any significant advantage to vtgs, and since you're building your engine you could definitely unleash some decent non-vtgs without worrying about your rods etc....

 

Always wondered on these larger turbos / bore out builds

Are they mostly for drag racing or can you keep drivabilty for track use / with close to stock power curve?

 

I track my built 997 turbo bored out to 3.8. But I'm using enhanced GT2 VTG turbos. No issues at the track. Puts down and handles the power very well. Have to be very conscious on how much throttle your pushing out of the turns but can obliterate almost anything in the straights. This additional horsepower and track usage certainly requires more attention to your suspension setup. Which I've just recently enhanced to handle better. Knock on wood but car performs flawlessly.
