"Safely" upgraded a few things on my vehicle and went with E85 fuel.

Tons of first hand experience with vendors, shops, products people. If you are thinking of doing anything to your car in the South Florida area then feel free to reach out with questions. I'm here to help best that I can and share what worked and didn't work for me.

Special shout outs to Sam@ByDesign, Todd@Protomotive, Porsche West Broward and Dave@Prototech.

 

Nice dyno with a nice fat power band.

What are some details of your mods/build?

 

Almost identical to mine - I am at 635/635 and Todd did the magic on E85 as well.

 

Build details in no particular order:

1. Stock engine
2. ByDesign 68mm VTG turbos
3. Champion Intercoolers
4. Cobb/ID 1300cc Injectors (idle is PERFECT..I am stuck in traffic a lot and this was super important to me)
5. IPD Plenum with GT3 TB
6. Champion Headers
7. Protomotive E85 Tune
8. Do88 Intake pipes
9. BMC Filter
10. Sachs Stage 3 clutch
11. GT2 engine mounts
12. GMG WC-Sport exhaust with 200cell cats

 

That's great man. How much boost did it take to make 651 with that setup?

 

max boost is 21.7psi (1.5bar)

 

nice job

 

what pressure plate is that clutch? 764? is that an AWD dyno?

congrats bro! I remember you were talking about these upgrades like 2 years ago. I'm the dude that bought your old Cobb accessport Lets see if you can beat my PBIR times of 10.6@131mph!. I'm on similar mods but 63.5mm turbos, no meth.

 

Thanks! I know...I know...was waiting for the coolant pipe failure to happen and then next thing I know it became an 8 month ordeal to sort the car out afterwards.

Questions about the clutch can be directed at Sam. All I know is it is a bit more than the "2.5" that is usually marketed.

Please tell me the next time you go to PBIR, I am looking to go and get a run or two in for sure.


The Dyno at AG Autosport is indeed an AWD unit with the proper mechanical link that doesn't fry your diffs. They are known for their Mitsu Evo builds...but lucky for us use the same type of dyno. They will be happy to see more Porsche's make use of the it as their model is good upto 2000hp.

 

2 months realistically, i hurt my neck. you can borrow my vbox if you want, just leave a deposit
