Thanks for the encouragement guys. I will work hard at delivering some thing really special.

EOBF no question, I agree with what your saying. Thanks

 

That looks awesome!

 

Hassaan, Man, I have never liked those blaze orange highlights on a car until I saw yours. It looks great. Is there anyplace where you have featured your Cayman? I'd like to learn more about it.

 

Is this for gen 1 or gen 2 caymans or both?

 

Looking at your site - I am very excited by your work, it looks brilliant. Subscribing to the thread now in hope that one day you will produce something suited to 2.5l 986 engines.

Can you tell us more about your experiences?

Any dyno testing on your car would be eaten up with great interest.

Thanks

 

I support anyone that trys something new for our Caymans !!!
we are all following with great anticipation IMA Motorsport and I personally would like to welcome you to The Cayman/Boxster forum

Rome wasnt built overnight .But it was built with great sucess.

 

Looking forward to this kit.
Quick question, are you planning to make some more parts for engine internal? Or is there anything available in the market? I'm a bit worry if I track my car hard with turbo upgrade.

 

I apologize to he who contacted me privately for not being able to reply as I got this message "To be able to send PMs your post count must be 15 or greater. You currently have 4 posts."

Thank you for your kind words, you just brightened my morning. The paint job was done at my local Porsche dealer. The door emblems were custom-made in Hawaii. The job went as I wanted except that the quality of wheels' paint wasn't really good. I plan to have them redone or replaced in the future. Here are few pictures of her:

nice, can't wait to see what this thing pushes.

Wow, very nice.

How about the interior and perhaps the engine. Has it been dyno'd? Must have been to make the side label claim stick. Also, what are the acceleration times and all.

It looks farily flat over there. Do you get to open her up much or are you hampered by law enforcement?

 

I thought you might have gotten the blaze orange wheels directly from the factory.

We all have to pay our dues by posting enough to get access to features on 6-speed. I remember wnat a pain it was waiting for permissions.

 

I can finally sit down for a couple of minutes and respond to some questions and nice remarks from some of you. Work has been pretty stressful as I have my hands in 20 things and unfortunately we are not a big force of people that I can have someone doing posts and chatting online. I had been machining rods for the turbo engine that we are assembling.

So anyhow wanted to say thanks to the following guys for checking in and subscribing as well as your kind remarks. It takes a lot of effort and patience to do something like this and it means a lot to us at IMA Motorsport that people appreciate what we are doing. It should be an awesome piece when we are done with it. Thanks to:

A few questions I wanted to answer also to air doc and wwjd.

Currently the emphasize is on the Gen 1 as soon as i can get a gen 2 car in here to test fit everything then that would be a done deal as well. Only obstacle with Gen 2 is the software because of the DFI. Not there yet but will be moving towards that.

As for internal parts, you should be able to utilize it the way it is without too much concern. If you are considering it as an exclusive track car when the engine gets tired and needs refresh then you can update a few parts if you wanted to. You might want to consider lowering the compression at that point so you can run more boost. Just an idea.

Going back and getting to Ken's post. I hope you understand the way that we are getting our figures, not smoking crack
When you run your engine in NA fashion you have at WOT 1 atmosphere in the intake or 1 bar absolute. If you think of it in a % fashion you will see what I meant about the 40%. Now take your 330 horsepower Cayman R and throw another atmosphere in to it you should be able to double the power of that engine assuming that it can tolerate that amount of boost. That is a 100% increase in air volume over NA. So it stands to reason the doubling of the power. That is 1 bar of boost. Now run .5 bar(7 psi) and you should see a 50% improvement, .4 bar(6 psi) should net a 40% over what ever you started with, in this case:
330 add 40% (132) and that equals 462 flywheel. General rule of thumb of 15% lose and that should net 392 at the tire.
It's simple math, nobody get offended please. That is why I claim and proven in more than 1 application this calculation. Every engine is different but what I have worked with has given at least that and a bit more in some cases.
As for the turbo lag, there is none that you can feel. Hard to believe I know but that is the truth. When you drive the car it feels like a very torquey engine with excellent response at the bottom end. Hope we are disappointing anyone with that, I would think it is a good thing. The exhaust is all taken care off. Need to remove the factory muffler and install what we would provide. It should have a nice sound just like the 996 and 997 cars we have done so far.
Brakes are always a good thing and there are some nice options for taking care of that. I put some really nice racing Brembo calipers on a car with 15" rotors in the front and 14" in the rear.Spent some money on all of that but it really made a huge difference.

Have to go for now it's 720 pm and need to continue on some work!

 

Am I correct in assuming that this is for Gen 1 987's and not the first 986's?

Someone expressed interest in TT for a 2.7L or a 2.5L. Seems like a lot of work to me and that one can only cover so many applications--unless they want to work past 7:30 PM every night.

 

Very nice, I'm glad to see more people looking at the platform and offering options. Competition is always good to see and drives innovations, and it's great to be able to improve on an already great car like the cayman.

Just some basic question out of cuiosity. What does the Cayman CFM in stock form, and what type of CFM are you pushing with the projected setup. Also, are you able to release what turbo's are being utilized to see a compressor/flow map of it. I think done properly, a TT setup could do exactly as you're saying. Little to no lag.

Thanks for the time, and keep the pics/posts/info coming!

Also, any projected pricing, or at least what all the kit will include. I know the TPC includes programing, full exhaust, IC and several other components as well I believe. Not trying to put you up against them, but they would be direct competition if this becomes a public release of a product. So just nice to compare in a friendly fashion.
