Will this car ever be driven on pump gas?

 

If the engine management is Motec, then Shane will be one., Motronics, Knighton., Link, bring someone from New Zeland.,cheers.

 

I don't believe so.

 

Neil Harvey of Performance Developments has the Link side covered. Todd Knighten will be working together with Neil. Need someone with turbo/nitrous experience for tuning the nitrous.

 

Hmm that makes the numbers harder to guess.

 

The fuel that will be used is 120 octane, not to mention the head temperatures are close to 800 degrees lower than other 996tt motors due to ceramic coated combustion chambers, exhaust ports, valves, piston domes along with dual monster liner oilers and oil res under cylinder domes feed through rifle drilled rods/wrist pins ...... yes we will have some radical timing to play with. The Pulsed CD system is designed to spark with the ethanol fuel all the way down the liners to just prior to BDC.

 

I give up on guessing the power level, If I remember right I asked you if you were going to be running E98 which is 120 octane. I think you said you were using a different kind of fuel than that?

 

The only thing on top of the E98 is the 250 shot of progressive nitrous.

 

Oh maybe I asked if you were using E85 and you then told me E98.

 

Chad, besides HD rods, what else was done to prevent the case from falling apart?

 

OK ....... another source out of the bag. This company makes a lot stronger parts (including cases) to take these motors up to 5.0 liters. Liners up to 112 mm and cranks up to 84.0 mm. The cases are a bit different (dimension/design wise) ....... much stronger. The name of the company is Koro. They are in Germany. Their website in currently under construction. www.koro.de

One of the biggest issues with these monster motors is your piston speed or piston to rod ratio. Your really don't want it much under 1.6. The stock Porsche is about 1.64. The only way to keep it up there is to lengthen the rods. A stock rod is about 126 mm. It is almost impossible to make them any longer than 130 mm with a stock deck height and once you raise the deck height you open a whole new can of worms with things like timing chain length. etc.

 

I spoke today with Neil @ Performance Developments, the motor is just about finished. It looks like about two more days.

 

And we are all looking forward to reading about it.
It has been a long wait, but I feel that reading/seeing some videos of the end result will be a grand finale

 

We had explored E85, however @ 104 octane the boost would be limited to well below our designed 2.8 bar. The good thing is we can pass the smog sniff test along with operate at lower boost levels with E85. We then considered E95, however availability is all but non existent in our area of operation. We have discovered E85 with an Aquamist injecting system with a certain mixture will provide a fuel with a 124 octane rating.

This is what we will be using for our engine dyno tuning.

 

The only way we can source E98 locally is by buying it by the barrel.

Let us know when the motor lives.
