Ryan,

The above link doesn't respond.

 

Yes, we believe the problem has been resolved. The solution could break new ground for the street 996tt's with the turbo GT3 motors.

This really had me worried for awhile that we had hit a dead end street.

 

I know that motor mounts have been addressed on these cars. I'm really surprised with all the high hp 996tt's running around out there that the tranny mounts haven't already been addressed by someone.

 

Very cool! I might nab me a set next time I'm in the area and taking stuff out

 

try it again, might have just been a freak thing when you tried it.

It has never once not loaded for me...

 

Very exciting to hear!!

 

We have received our cams, cam housings, gears, etc. today. We started with variable lift intake cams and variable timing. We then tried non variable lift intake cams with variable timing. We settled on non variable lift intake cams and non variable timing. The exhaust cams were designed to marry with the intakes. The lift and duration is to die for. The power range will start around 2,800 rpm's and peak at 8200 rpm's. Idle will be a little rough, however once out of idle she will purrr.

Motor assembly will start very soon. I know we have all heard this before.

 

This thread could serve as a research topic on extraordinary applications of the Porsche Flat-6 engine.

 

This is going to be one unique motor! The thought that went into every little detail of KA is almost staggering.

 

Thanks for the kind words 03-turbo911.

The truth of the matter is we bought two cases, three sets of valves, three sets of rods, two sets of pistons and two sets of cams. This was all due to a learning process "After thought" may be more appropiate in some circumstances.

Rob King at S Car Go Racing is very, very good. It's just we were entering new territory with this motor. In addition, we have received help from four other very talented individuals in the industry. I will mention their names in due time.

 

Comes with the territory if you're exploring new ground. What I like about your project, and what seperates it for me from the others, is that you're leaving no corner unturned. Upgrading everything to handle the power and not cutting corners by saving a few bucks here and there.

 

03-turbo911,

The "new ground" parts on this motor are:

a) 962 Oil Pump
b) GT3R crank utilizing smaller diameter journals and oval berings
c) Inconnel Valves
d) Boat tailed case
e) Ceramic coated piston tops, combustion chambers and exhaust ports
f) Cams which do not utilize variable lift or variable timing. The accuators are being eliminated. The ECU programs will eliminate vario lift and timing.
g) Ductile iron liners for 102 mm CT pistons designed to accomodate 900 turbo hp plus a progressive 250 shot of NOS. Full boost should occur @ 2800 rpm's and run through 8200 rpm's.

We believe we have addressed all the weak spots. We'll find out in a few months. Looking back on what you said ............ with the cams we are now using there is not one stock 996tt part left in the motor from the intercoolers to the exhaust.

 

cjv, that's quite a list and I'm not surprised that you didn't carry over any parts from the 996 turbo. In the last statement, I meant that KA, as a whole, not just the engine. Alot of thought has gone into every little detail.

 

03-turbo911,

I don't believe many people realize items like the intake manifold between the throttle body and the heads, case and head bolts, wrist pins, journal bearings, piston rings, head gaskets,etc have all been examined and new and hopefully better parts manufacturered.

If a Porsche mechanic (most of them anyway) was to open this motor he would probably just shake his head in confusion.

 

The motor is coming along very nicely. Although I can't go into any more details regarding the cams I felt it important to give credit where credit is due. If it wasn't for the help of Loren Beggs, the owner of 911 Design, we would still be looking for an answer. Loren has to be one of the sharpest Porsche guys I have ever had the pleasure of talking to. The Porsche owners in Southern California are very fortunate to have Loren's and 911 Design's talents.
