03-turbo911,

I will try to contact Manthey through e-mail and see if he will share any information about the Posi Traction percentages. However, I'm afraid I'm committed to the 40-60 unit because I already have it. I do understand Porsche Motorsports makes three units. Each with a different percentage.

 

I spoke with Rob @ S Car Go today. We currently have all the major parts with one exception. The EVOMS intake/injector blocks from the throttle body to the heads. I spoke with Todd @ EVOMS a few days ago and he says this part will be shipped on January 3rd. The motor should start coming together pretty fast now.

We do have one other thing we are looking into. The head studs. Up to now we we looking at the higher grade head studs sold by EVOMS. I believe Todd @ EVOMS has proven his studs will take boost levels of 1.7-1.8 bar. We are also looking at the idea of making slightly larger head studs also made of a higher grade metal.

The idea is to make a stud 2 mm wider. The heads have the room, however we are measuring and checking the case to determine if it will accept the larger studs. Should have an answer next week. This mod has been performed on older Porsche racing cases. Does anyone have any experience with using larger head studs on the 996tt case/GT3 or turbo heads? If larger studs could be used, this would definitely help hold down the heads when pushng higher boost levels.

 

Next week the motor will be mocked up with the new cams to determine how much the Woosner pistons will need to be fly cut. Once this is determined the pistons will be sent out for this machine work.

When they are returned, the pistons, valve springs, turbo hot side housings and the headers will be sent to High Performance Coating.

The final assembly of the motor should start around January 21st.

 

Good luck.

 

LSD?

 

No Zippy, here is the LSD.


The mystery part is part of the drivetrain on an awd car.

I guess it was named in my honor.

Greg,

No, they are not from Cartridge or are they? I believe they are from S Car Go Racing. I will have to explore this a little more. Can you get me a little information on Cartridge.

 

cjv,

Sure, I'd love to give you a detailed report on Cartridge and all of their wonderful, exotic products...only, I can't. This fella named Robert is very secretive and I think you know somebody (not me) who can get that info for you. I do know that a lot of their parts might be found on certain ALMS and Grand-AM 911s.

If you guys didn't think I was crazy before ............ you will definitely know I am now. Recently we bought a new older style 996tt case. It was aligned bored, shuffle pinned and boat tailed. Well, we decided not to use the case after all. We purchased a new "ribbed" or "reinforced" style 996tt case. Going to send it out to be aligned bored, shuffle pinned and then we are going to boat tail it. This will probably set us back two weeks. Porsche reinforced these cases for a reason. With the power we are going to be making, we just didn't want to take any chances.

Will post some additional pics soon to show both cases when the work is finished.

In addition we received the intake from EVOMS today. Pics to follow soon.

 

Is this the Cartridge out of England who makes many F1 parts?
