Actually you asked about engine work. If there is an existing warranty on the kit, RAC can send you the replacement parts or you send them the ECU.

I thought a 996 turbo could be used for a turbo Cayman ballpark pricing too but not as a choice either.

 

I am not a fan of single turbo solutions.

I think Ivan's modest pressure twin turbo solution superior to the TPC for daily driving; however, I have not investigated either fully. While I prefer stock Porsche, my SUV is at EVOMS right now getting tuned.

We are expecting 3-5 more MPG and more than 92 HP with more than 100 TQ.

 

Price on this out yet?

 

Are there any surging or compressor stall issues with that intake setup? I would think regardless of using a blow through MAF sensor setup or running speed density that individual intake pipes or equal length intake piping to each turbo with a 2-1 merger would be a bit less troublesome not to mention more efficient. On my other car I had issues with unequal length intake from the filter to the turbos and from the turbos to the intercooler. Even with a pressure equalization tube it still never fixed the issue and I eventually scrapped the twin turbo setup for a big single turbo since there would never be those kind of problems with only one intake pipe and one intercooler pipe.

 

Just not at the same time

 

awesome! This will be great for autocross! I have seen TPC equipped car struggle in low RPMs we often see in ax competitions. Twin turbo kit with focus on low end is perfect.

 

Am waiting on a new Boxster S with the 3.4 liter, will you have thi application for that format? A 400+ HP mid engine open air would be a hoot!

 

There is benefit to a twin set up over single. We have set up and prototyped one Cayman only so far. Working on a Boxster next month. There is really no new ground to break with our system. The components are good proven parts in may other applications aside of ours. I have those turbos running on 5 other cars trouble free.
The connections from the air filter to the intake are different just because we are using Carbon tubing and silicone couplers.
Software is good and have not had a glitch with any of the other set ups we have done.
There is no surging or issues with the turbos the way that they are installed and how the air gets distributed to them.
We would like for others to get our system as they will not be disappointed.

The car that we did initially is for sell. The owner who was in Khandahar locating Bin Laden commissioned us to do this for him. While there he did some other things that he spent too much of his money and when he got back needed to liquidate assets, unfortunately the Cayman, Ferrari and Z06 Vette were put on the chopping block. Call RAC and ask them about how the car drives, he was very impressed and happy with the car.

Thanks for posting and watching

 

this is just awesome

 

G'day Ivan,

Thanks for posting details of the Cayman... very exciting project!

I spoke to you a while back and understand that this turbo has a simple screw adjuster to control how "closed" the vanes are as boost is first starting to build and then they will "open" up automatically as boost builds.

I was just wondering, since it seems that boost/torque peaks rather high (at around 4800rpm) for a vgt setup, how were the vanes adjusted... were they adjusted more towards the "open" rather than the "closed" end of the spectrum? What was the reason for being adjusted this way, was it to prevent boost/torque building too quickly to control traction and enhance drivability or for some other reason?

Thanks again,
Scott

 

The car's on eBay now for ~$40k BIN.

 

Yup, that's the one!

 

Very cool.

 

Can you make a version of this kit that actually has some lag?

Some people like boost... I actually like the whole no-boost-no-boost-no-boost-WaaaAAAAaaaa-BOOST feeling )

No really, I am being serious, its why I prefer the older 911 Turbo's compared to the 996 turbo... Boost is awesome, but only when you can feel it come in.

 

Not wanting to speak on behalf of anyone, but if I understand the system and your question correctly, the turbo vanes can be adjusted to be more like a conventional turbo if you wish to delay the onset of boost.

If you look at the last video in this link:

http://aerocharger.com/videos.php

especially from around 7:30, it is very well explained... they actually have one stripped down and show how the adjustable rod alters the vanes.

Very cool turbo... can't wait to get one (or two)!
