scorch

Before we start I had the car built a while back and encountered issues after issues. So the car already had a lot of work done in the form of the following:

Evospec 4.0 Full Build motor

Xxxx turbo kit

Xxxx fuel system

Syvecs S7

991.2 trans
So here we are… Scorch Build V2.0

First and foremost this is not a bashing post or anything like that so I won't mention people/shops etc.. Just letting my people know where I've been, my experience and where I'm going. This project started over 2 years ago… where we encountered a few setbacks including one that took 2 years to figure out and resolve. This issue was centered around the car not being able to perform a clutch relearn, I'll spare you the details and skip to the end. The clutch itself was out of spec and was part of a bad batch from Dodson amongst other things.

When I first set out to do this build my plan was to build a 1500hp monster, between one thing to another now we’re here. I was not completely satisfied with the car so I began to tear it down and formulate a plan where I am more involved because as everyone knows I like to do most of my work where possible as then everything is exactly how I want it to be.

I will begin posting some pics of the differences between products I'm moving away from and moving towards. This is not meant for bashing or calling another product inferior but as it goes in a niche market I don't see much information on products as shops like to keep their recipe secrets.
I will be breaking this build up into different more detailed sections for everyone to be able to follow along and maybe have discussions about.

Part 1 - Intake Manifold

Part 2 - Hotside Turbos, Manifolds, & Exhaust

Part 3 - Intercoolers and IC piping

Part 1 - Intake Manifold

So after starting to dial in the send it map we encountered some issues with one of the DI injectors.. Not a big deal removing the intake manifold and swap it out. Once I got in there it was the last straw for me and I decided to pull everything from the previous build and start over.




Pictures of the manifold that was on the car.

Whether it be NA or FI air likes an uninterrupted path and balance between banks (equal length runners etc.) These engines are extremely picky about these things and back pressure on the other side.





















The replacement
Bydesign Billet Intake secondary injectors and direct port nitrous/meth nozzles



Bydesign Billet Plenum



Equal length and properly tuned manifold



Airflow loves smooth transitions and tuned runners. doesn't matter if NA or FI.





All together

Wow. A picture is worth a thousand words!

Did you remove the manifold with the engine still in? Did you lower it at all.

scorch

Agreed.
Yes I did, I just loosened up the rear subframe bolts a little but nothing crazy.

Nice build. Keep the pics and info. comin!

Finally good to see another build thread that's basically on par with mine. One thing that does stand out vs mine would be the Evospec billet block. I was talking to John about it but he said it was far away. Would love to see more info on that when the time comes

Thanks! Will do
Thanks! Love your build and attention to detail! Yea I have a lot bigger turbos, GT3 heads which are a game changer and the billet block which first batch will arrive soon. My goal is well north of 1600rwhp

What kind of fuel?

BMS

What size turbos if you don't mind me asking?

It's going to be an epic build Bud. Happy to be a part of it and I look forward to working with the whole team helping you meet your goals. Onwards and upwards!

A quick question, are you able to talk with John from EvoSpec I am waiting for some pistons and parts for over 6 months and he does not return my calls, e-mail...

If I had a welder on staff that produced a piece like your original manifold, I would have fired him on the spot - that was atrocious work.

Now, that new By Design one, is a piece of art in comparison.

Looks like it's going to be a quick car...

AIM Performance

sure is... strange design overall.

Drawn up on the back of a napkin is my thought.

any and all of these combinations e85/e98/c16

105s

The Best Porsche Team in the WORLD!

I'll see what i can do.

Yea more surprising is the "elite" shop it came from.. You too can have one fro $8500



now you're just being modest

As a Mod, one must be impartial and non judgemental.

Still, between you and me, I think the napkin was a waste...
