Any one know if i purchase a deckled from carrera turbo 997, can i install in my carrera s 2009 997.2?

 

yes you can and I believe it's an easier job compared to 997.1s because you already have an airbox with 2 holes.

 

I did this recently as described on Rennlist at http://rennlist.com/forums/997-forum...on-my-c2s.html

Your airbox will have to be changed in any case since the two intake holes on the 997.2 aren't in the right place to clear the hydraulic cylinders. I keep planning to do a write-up beyond the previously mentioned post and have a lot of photos to go with that, but I still haven't gotten around to it yet.

If you have other specific questions let me know, but please read the Rennlist thread first since it will probably answer many of them.

 

Thank you! so, do you have any estimate that, how much i have to spend in this project if the wing don't include, the stop light, harness, and fan? can i use that i have in my actual deck lid?

 

Message DARTHVADER, he did this same conversion.

 

Petza914 did this as well and was helpful during my car's conversion. I'll dig the information on parts and costs tonight. You will not be able to use anything from your current deck lid, although some have succeeded in getting the fan to work by fabricating brackets. The fan is only about a $120 more (off the top of my head) so I'd just switch it. It also uses 4 bolts instead of 3 on your current fan.

BTW, if you are really going to do this, VividRacing has a sale ($300) on the earlier style Fabspeed 997.2 dual air intake that takes care of the airbox problems you will face, if you have any left. The metal one has an advantage in the case of this conversion: The mounting point for the MAF is more forward and closer to the engine than it is on the carbon fiber one and as a result it the MAF connector clears the Turbo fan housing much better with no worries about it rubbing.

 

By the way, the metal Fabspeed intake for sale on Vividracing doesn't seem to show up on their normal website when searching by model, but it does show up in an emailed ad I happened to received today and the link on that took me there. Here is the link: http://www.vividracing.com/catalog/f...150909599.html

If they happen to have sold out, then the carbon one works too but on my car I had to angle the carbon tube downward quite a bit before tightening and remove the back center cover of the fan so they wouldn't rub together. I recorded a video with my phone in the engine compartment when I closed the lid and could see them making contact on the carbon version and easily clearing on the metal version.

 

My dealer was willing to roughly price match the prices I found on the Gaudin Porsche site. If yours won't do the same, you could order them here:http://www.gaudinporscheparts.com/pa...iagram=6936535 You can also use this site to find prices for other parts. Not all of the parts needed show up on this diagram but there are others there that show them.

Here are some of the key prices, I show both retail and the discounted price I paid:

• Fan ($148.53 / $126.25) - Shown as #18 in the above diagram and includes the rubber grommets and spacers but not the bolts - They are four of those at a couple of bucks each.
• Cable loom ($158.05 / $134.34)
• 2 Rubber buffers ($14.40 / $12.96) - the two adjustable bumpers, they are a little firmer than the ones on your lid to better handle the weight of the wing I'd guess
• In-Spoiler center brake light ($118.66 / $100.86)

As Petza advised when I was doing this, you do not need to add the extra shock on the lid (Turbo lids have two) since the single one we already have holds it just fine. You can also use the hinges you already have.

The turbo lid I got includes all of the hydraulics. You want to find one with those since those parts are pricey. It also came with the plastic two air ducts. You'll want these since they dump the air back right on top of the Fabspeed air filters.

When ordering the brake light, be sure to get the right one. See the thread here for more about that: https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...ml#post4212091

 

Thank you so much for all your info!!!
But i have the last question! I think this deck lid dont include the harness, do you think that i have to buy one? And what is an average in price?
Thank you!!!

 

The wiring harness is listed in my prior post as "cable loom" (Porsche's term in their parts listing).

 

Sorry! Thank you for all your information!!!
