Then make it work with the added boost permanently instead of teasing for 10 seconds. Either do it right or don't do it all. So what will happen when aftermarket chips come out raising boost?

 

I think that the hp number is not what is important here. Lets wait to see how the power curve comes into play. Having 550hp at a high RPM but being poor down low might not make the car move like a car that has 480hp but a perfect power curve.

 

I think it is an interesting insight into the thermal dynamics of the 997tt engine. Porsche engineers are very careful to measure the tempurature of everything during product development, yet chose to limit the high boost operation for 10 seconds. Obviously, something is getting HOT here, otherwise it would have been longer, or continuous. Unless its due to the variable turbos (I have heard the problem is high EGT's with them), there is something that cannot take continuous high boost operation due to heat............. I wonder if the same limitation applies to 996tt motors, with tuners never running long enough during 1/4, etc to overheat, but actually running a motor that cannot take high boost for long.............

Yea seriously, are they comparing to a damm cabrio?!? LOL!

 

I'm still convinced they stole my paint and wheel scheme.

 

I think that the '04-'05 Coupes were in the low 3500lb range... I think.

 

Normal Aspiration is my foretay. I could careless about bar or psi. I'd rather care about a.) liner power b.) nice dyno curve c.) CFM, not PSI d.) horsepower. Rave all you want about "bar", it doesn't tell you **** and you look pathetic making asumptions based on bar at this time.

 

That's what Porsche published.

The 997 Turbo will definitely weigh less than that...no spare tire alone reduces the weight ~30 lbs.

 

I belive my 2003 Evo 8 did the same as far as boost department in stock form, it would boost to 19psi at low RPM and would tapper off to 16psi at high RPM.

 

Well spelling sure doesn't appear to be your "foretay." And from your post, neither is comprehending the written word. If you are so adamant about NA, don't post your noise in the turbocharged subforum. You have had good contributions elsewhere, but you are acting like a Troll.

Respectfully,

That was a little bit different. The EVO's 16G turbo couldn't hold high boost at redline (higher rpms) because of the flow rate, not because of an ECU-controlled protection system.

 

So, you could care less?

Ah, yes, the always classical turn the table response because I can't support a counter argument so I will scrutinize spelling.

 

I can think of a few things, Dock, that would help us '01-'02 owners:
- remove spare/jack/hardware
- remove rear wiper
- remove rear seats/seat belts
- replace power seats with GT3 seats or equally light track seats

Those changes, alone, would account for a good bit of weight.

 

That would be some few horsepower figures over the 996TT which is never bad.
What i do not like IMO is that the placing of the foglights are very much lessening the sportscars front look. There should have made it a bit more muscular looking than what we have been seeing lately. Lets hope they get it better when it is ready for production.
