my 997 TT runs fine. no issues.
I am planning on modifying the 997 TT engine. make more power....
meanwhile, I do have a 996 non turbo engine sitting in the garage. Can I fit 997 TT crank, forged rods and pistons and 997 TT heads into the 996 non turbo engine and keep it as a second spare engine in case my 997 TT engine fails?

as the Gasman said, the 996 engine is the wet-sump 9A1 derivative (Boxster/996) motor known for multiple failure modes. The 993/996/997tt motors are the dry sump Mezger GT1 derivative motors. There is no interchangeability between the two lines. The blocks are of a completely different shape and geometry

Hey Man,I figured that the owner of a 1100 hp bmw that does 60-130 in 5 is not going to want to go slow....Are those figures for real man?I am glad of rear engine and 4 wheel drive and I have less than 600bhp.

I understand completely-a friend of mine has his Ferrari 458 in the workshop right now,having a 328 engine conversion.The twin clutch gear box with the paddles has to go,but he didn't like that aspect of the car anyway.It's not that hard a conversion,actually,the main problem being the installation of the clutch pedal itself and deletion of the "fly by wire" throttle and installing a throttle cable and making good the steering wheel once the paddles have been removed with the grinder.Another friend of mine has his Citation Business Jet in the hangar for a twin piston engine conversion.Now,that is more of a challenge,but he believes the miles per gallon gains will be worthwhile.We'll see.........

. If this guy seriously wants to save fuel he should just go the whole hog and convert the damn thing into a glider.And if he owns a Porsche just yank the engine and go fred flintstone style...cut a hole in the floor pan and use his feet

yes real, go to the 6speedonline's official 60-130 list and you will see twinturbom3 as the name.
I am trying to make a sub 5.0 run, wish me luck.
