We are using the 996tt ECU with a modified GT3 program. The 996tt ABS is being replaced with the Cup ABS and the PSM is gone.

All the old lines are coming out. Hell, the return line is so small with the pumps we are using they created a 82 pound back pressure. Yes, the rails are being replaced.

 

No more PSM... The way you're doing it does sound neat. CUP car ABS controller, GT3 ECU ok.. now I'm starting to get it

With the 40s.. what sort of boost are you planning on running? MAX that is...

 

The motor is designed for 2.2 bar. With the extra displacement, heads/plenum flow and cams, 1.3 bar should give us about 1150 hp @ the crank.

 

2.2bar will be absolutely insane (ask me how I know lol) on any GT 30plus turbo set up. Nuts. I'm guessing you won't be running it that high much but if/when you do give me a hollar.. 1.3bar will be a lot nicer on the head studs/gasket. You're staying AWD right?

 

In addition to the above, the heads are grooved and metal o-ringed. Yes, we are staying with the awd.

 

Good stuff. My next build will be -oringed in similar fashion.. I love my hight boost too much

 

Thats almost 300 more horsepower than my car at the same boost level!!




Finish her so I can take her off your hands!!

 

Alex,

You tried buying her about 2-1/2 years ago with an offer of $225,000.00. You going to try again?

 

First lets see how she stands up against my turbo (Supra) and the 996..... Like the saying goes..first we crawl...then we walk....

PS> I am only interested with the GT40R's....since I think that is the perfect combo for a 3.8liter!!! The GT30R's would not be a comparison and would not produce nearly enough power for my appetite....

Can't wait to see the Dyno numbers (with the GT40R's) !!!

 

Wow, rumors are spreading already. Is she really a 3.8? I'll admit to the 102 mm ductile barrels.

As for the turbo's. We are setting her up for both. Todd K says the GT40R's wouldn't be the ticket for tracks like LS or Infineron. He says the ticket there would be the GT30R's. There is no doubt the GT40R's will be the ticket for your type of appetite. It will be interesting if she will stay can stay on the ground in a straight line with the GT40R's and the NOS. We are going to install a fuel cell for Nevada Open Road Races and I can't think of a better driver than you to open her up.

 

I would be honored to set records with KA...

 

Alex,

What type of tires do you think should be used for a top speed run? I'm not even going to say how many hp we expect with the GT40's, 150 shot of NOS, 2.2 bar, 8600 rpm's and gearing because most will only laugh ............. but 262 mph is possible.

 

CJV.. with crazy speeds like that won't you need to get radical with aerodynamics? Sorta like 9ff does?

 

sharkster,

I really don't know. That's why I'll insure her and let my crazy test driver see if and when she starts to feel light. Heck, the aerodynamics may keep her well below that speed. With the total motor package and GT40R's/150 Shot NOS the 9ff power will be pale by comparison. My guess is the car will start to become unstable at some point. I believe Alex with his experience will know when the car is approaching it's limit. I'm not a fan of the 9ff look and have no intention of trying to go their route.

 

Me neither! I thought it looked way offf... Power-wise it'd kick the 9ff one into the dust for sure (I think all of us would heh) but they did build that thing for top speed runs. I'd say at least go out to Bonneville then
