Hey folks, over the past few months SharkWerks has been developing/proofing our 3.9L 997GT3RS 500hp engine thanks to our collaboration with our chums over at EVOMS. Those guys keep on going crazy with Turbos so somebody had to deal with the naturally aspirated engines eh? If you’re into dynos, track testing, exhaust sounds, racing et al. this video we put together (the wife using Avid) should have you covered. We’ve collected a plethora of footage over the last few months and in particular wanted to share some of the facets of real-time tuning made available now with the EVOMSit program. Being a curious lad by nature I always wondered why nobody ever really gets to see behind the (iron?) curtain. So what’s the actual process like? And what are the tools involved when it comes to the secretive “black magic” Porsche tuning? A blend of some very expensive equipment (ok and some skill), good hardware and the EVOMSit set up and we think we have some neat results. For those of you with EVOMSit software now you know some of the how and why. The last couple of years have brought forward some major breakthroughs in our little corner of the industry (just look at some of the EVOMS Texas Mile results) and there’s a lot more to come but for now here’s a taste….

Simply amazing . My utmost respect!

 

So guys, what can we do to turn my 997.1 C2S into a monster like that?

 

Sharky -
That car is absolutely beautiful . The effort you placed into making this shows tremendous dedication and time. Combined with Evoms .. you guys rock !!!!

 

My respect to you as well !

You are a great tuner with excellent customer service

The best I've come across !

 

great work...thanks for posting

 

Great work Alex. That RS is a monster

 

Thank you!

hey sin911... well I'm a big fan of keeping the NA engines NA vs forced induction. I think with a light weight flywheel, some good exhaust work, tuning and an intake you can get a edgier car with more character, response and power. Those are the things I would do

Thanks Larry and I know you've had some of the EVOMSit tuning before so now you know a bit about the behind-the-scenes stuff too Most of all hurry up and get a GT3:P

Wow thank you carfan. You guys keep us on our toes and rightly so. The community here is top-notch!

My pleasure (or the wife's!) and we'll keep posting more!

Thanks guys... very kind

Here's another video showing more of the racing:

congratulations, very very good work!!
2 questions:
1- Wich is the price $$, 3.6 to 3.9 engine convertion?
2- Wich is the result of rolling start of 997GT3 RS 3.9 vs 997TT ?
thanks!!!

 

Thank you! Depending on options around 25-27K installed. I haven't done a rolling vs a 997TT but a stock one would get beat for sure. Modded ones well they'd put a beat down on Kermit:P

 

We should drop that engine into my car....

 

I like your thinking! I love NA cars...

I am planning to get LWFW, new Mufflers and Cats, and a little weight reduction...

 

Mmmmmm looks delicious!

I really need to do a track day at Big Willow!

Jason
