Hey everyone my friend just picked up a midnight blue GT3 and is thinking of doing some basic engine mods. He asked me to find out what mods to get and I knew you guys would have some advice. All input is very much appreciated!!

-Jason

 

for starters:
BNC filter ( direct swap)
RS Fly wheel
RS Clutch
RS Preasure plate
RSR Cracnk Case Breather

Thats it not much to do on these cars on the engine side. To try to chip the care is almost a risk some one has done it with UNICHIP but in my opinion not worht the risk

 

Manthey has a nice system.

 

just don't ruin the motor with a turbo or super charger kit...

 

Manthey power kit..

 

Just email me and I'd be happy to help out,, weve got these cars going pretty good

Cargraphics power kit is a very nice way to go indeed...

I would concentrate on setting the car up first and foremost and then worry about power............. But hey thats my .02 cents....

Either way would be happy to help..

 

Pretty much sums it up!! How much of an effect do the mentioned bolt ons have exactly, much noticeable gains or not really?!? (To the clutch and so on)

 

i've read on rennlist that a 4.00:1 ring and pinion is a worthwhile mod, since the gt3 has long gearing but its powerband is naturally shifted towards the top-end. the stock gearing is long, especially from the 1-2 shift, i believe 1st ends at 46 and 2nd at 82. shifting from 1-2 places you in the midrange where power is not as adequate as it could be with optimized gearing.

 

HI from Joe @ Fabspeed Motorsports

The other guys have made some nice suggestions. I like the lightweight flywheel, suspension set-up properly and crankcase breather too.

The GT3 is so very quiet that you cant hear the engine. Given that Fabspeed Motorsports has dyno developed and street/track tested and offers the following parts in super quality T 304Stainless steel mirror show polished.

Farnbacher Lolles Racing in Connecticut or Dan Jacobs Automotive have installed our systems in you area.

GT3 MaxFlow mufflers with or without tips
GT3 Maxflo muffler bypass pipes
GT3 headers with merge collectors 1 piece mandrel bent
GT3 sports racing catalytic converters
GT3 catalytic converter bypass/replacement pipes
BMC F1 GT3 airfilter

All the above parts are in stock @ great prices. Ultimate quality better than anything. For example 1 piece C.N.C. mnadrel bent tubing for headers and all pipes. Nothing is all welded up from multiple single pieces/sections of stainless tubing like all other companies/tuners. Significantly better exhaust flow and strenght is the benefit- unfortunately a $250,000.00 automated CNC mandrel bender MUST be bought!
Components can be combined into a package. Dyno data and detailed photos and explanations are on our website.

Have a great day

My understanding is that a shorter ring and pinion gear still does not resolve the wide gap in spacing within the first 3 gears, especially between 1st and 2nd. Further, the shorter r and p are subject to more wear and thus more frequent replacement. There does not appear to be a real short cut outside of revised gearing at considerably more expense.

 

good information, i stand corrected.

 

We also offer a shorther gear set for 3rd 4th and 5th gears.

Would seriously aid in the accelaration of the car... And keeps it in the sweet spot at the track..

You are correct the ring and pinions do wear quicker...

 

Fabryce,

What is your recommended solution to the wide gap between 1st and 2nd gear? Also, do you have a recommendation regarding the issue of necessary frequent alignments due to the eccentrics on the stock GT3 continually being moved? This can be quite tiresome after only a couple thousand miles on a new alignment. I hear some recommend cup mono ball parts in the rear. Thanks.

 

your website says you paid 400,000 for the bender!!! LOL!!!!
that thing is depreciating like crazy!

 

Joe, I've got your muffler bypass pipes and love them. One problem though, the heat gives the tips a tarnished look. I've used metal polish on them to clean them up some, but they'll never look like new again. Any ideas, or is it just something I'll have to live with?

Thanks.
