Hello all,
I was perusing the internet earlier and came across a post by BBI that they just released a 4.0 stroker kit for the DFI 9a1 engine in the 997.2 and 991 turbos. Has anyone else heard about this? I'm surprised there weren't any posts about it on the forums.
For them to invest in that R&D, I would imagine they are also working on solutions for the PDK and Fuel system to complement the stroker kit.
I'd be curious if anyone had additional information.

 

They have had the 997.2 motor out from a 997.2/918 Edition at their shop for as long as I have been going there (2013). Betim built a PDK as well that he cut open, upgraded the clutches and welded back together maybe 6 months ago or more. That PDK was going to be tested on a customers car and I'm not sure the status of that. Beyond the built motor and PDK there is fueling as you mentioned but also ECU and TCU tuning. So a lot involved. I need to go there and pick up something this week so I can inquire.

EDIT: See post #16 top of page 2 for update I got from BBI

 

There is a decent amount going on with this project. It should be pretty cool! I have been helping with some of this and will be doing the ECU/TCU tuning. Some cool stuff they have come up with for it

Subscribed for updates. I want a low 9 second reliable street machine. Not a compromised race car on the street.

How about a "Ronin 911"?

 

this is easily acheivable with the 997.2 . Must remind yourselves that we are just getting into deep tuning for this platform. It's still rather new considering we are just seeing aggressive tuning start this year. I believe by the end of 2015 we should have a pretty clear roadmap to 9 sec daily .... at least I hope!

 

Looks like it's going into a white 918 spider.... and the engine is being assembled already

 

 

^ ^ ^ ^ wuz just there a few hours ago

 

Tell me MOAR about this!

 

Well it has been a long project. That car has been at BBI ever since I first started going there in late 2013 with a goal of a motor and pdk build at maybe 1,000 crank HP. Not sure if the motor is back together and whether the built PDK has been put in a car for testing yet. If Mitch/Cobb is doing the ECU and TCU tunes then he probably knows a lot more about the status of each project.

 

Is this the build with the secondary fuel rails with non-DFI injectors?

 

If you stop by, ask Betim about the bbi replacement cats he promised to supply me because they went bad far before they were supposed to and he promised to replace them. I've been on him since January and haven't received them...

 

Betims communication isn't the greatest.

 

that's why he has Len assisting.

 

looks awesome guys!
