Stock bottom end? Mine is built with TTRS crank, IE rods and JE 9.5:1 pistons. Depending on what you find I may stop and put in cams right away, I’m running an ERF7163 which is similar in size to your G25.

If you run boost by rpm, to make that 350 tq from 3000 rpm and up, i see no problems

I would go bigger in your case. We are limited by stock internals on ours. You won’t have that issue and will be able to utilize the additional flow, especially if you throw cams in.

Probably cams more than turbo, but could be a bit of both.
07k with stock cams and HTA3582R with 0.82 housing at 17.5psi has similar power levels to the dynojet (with a little later spool of course) and also has the torque starting to roll off at 6k rpms.


And then with the boost turned up even more the restriction is much more apparent.

Awesome data points, thanks!

Thanks Mike and Alex. I guess I need to see how much Valve lift will work with my pistons and order a set.

Unless you are planning on a whole lot of tire and potentially aero i wouldn’t hesitate getting a G25-660, just make sure you go .92 housing.
Enjoyed the video so much. Engine is awesome.
Is that even going to be a noticeable drop in torque?
That dyno sheet is perfect for the street.


separate fuel/ ECU circuits & big wires.
Everything stays cool (now)....
968 LS ECU shutoff/ relay delete.

Good that you mention aero. .
Tony G and others have posted numerous times over the years how
at speeds above a certain point, the 944 makes a lot of front lift.
The cars didn't get much wind tunnel testing. The problem wasn't
really addressed until the 968.
i had my 968 at ~163mph before doing front end mods,
and it was was far better at speed compared to my '87 944S.
To say the difference is noticeable is understating it. .


968 aero **** at the end of the clip.....

I contacted cat cams a while ago and saw they had 2 cam profiles for the 07k to suit this application. There is a milder one (part number 7604003) specs (262/259 - 215/211 -11.25mm/10.25mm -0.05mm/0.65mm) if I remember correctly this one was designed for 3000-7000rpm this one should be a drop in fit without needing to machine the cylinders to use vvt. The second one part number 7604004 has a power band designed to be from 4000 to 8000 rpm (specs 270/263 - 223/215 -11.75mm/11.0mm -0.1mm/0.8mm) I was warned that this cam might require machining the pistons up to 3mm for the intake and 1mm for the exhaust. I can't confirm this though because both these cams were designed with the 4cyl fsi engine and the 07k head only. There is no data for the actual valve clearance on either unless someone has dimensions of the stock cam. The cams cost 1295 usd for the cam and 660usd for springs and retainers from iabed

Looks like they list stock specs here:

If you want to use full VVT range then 7604003 (what I'm buying) needs to have 1.52mm cut from the pistons at the intake valves and 7604004 would need even more cut out. Jan at Cat Cams told me with 25psi of boost 7604001 would make 500hp at the crank.

You should make WAY more than that. We were 535 crank on 20 psi with stock cams, assuming a 15% drivetrain loss on the dynojet.

Agreed! I'm curious how much cam it takes to get 340 foot pounds efficiently at 7800-8000 rpm. That would be nuts lol. I can't even imagine how fast the car already is being that light!

Ha! sorry to scare everyone, I miss-typed that one.

Jan said 500lb-ft / 600hp at the crank at 25psi with 7604001.

Does it require any valve clearancing? If not that sounds like the winner for a stock bottom end!
