has anyone ever put there 993 on the juice? what were the affects? i understand that this can now be safely done on an air cooled engine... Also this is just for the accasional use not very often...

 

My question back to you is, Why do that?

 

why not?

 

I have used NOS on many street cars in the past, most of which were small block Chebbies are were relatively inexpensive to rebuild.

I would never dream of using this on my 993, or any 911 for that matter, unless it had a small block Chevy installed

Yes, NOS can be used safely, once you have verified adequate fuel pressure AT full load. And retard ignition timing by at least 2degrees.

NOS is a rush, but just like drugs, you have to come-down at some point. It just makes your car feel really slow without it.

 

great opinion, that makes a lot of sence...

 

The therapy for withdrawal symptoms is a turbo install

 

Rather than a turbo "install", I'd recommend an "exchange" (sell your car and buy a TT). Makes more sense in the long-run...

 

True when considering resale but for some of us that are into the narrow body, rear wheel drive cars upgrading to a turbo or SC motor is the only way to go.

 

... Then I tried a 75 shot and blew the dam thing Whoops!

Read this thread. I know it's a 996 but still...

For a safer rush (for the engine).... go with a TPC Supercharger install. Very impressive results.

My $0.02 from a very happy Supercharged driver.

 

I totally agree about rear-wheel drive. Sports cars should always be RWD, IMHO. It's quite simple to disconnect the front drive shaft, front diff and halfshafts on a TT. Alot easier than adding Turbo or SC to an N/A car...

 

Mr_Boch can you post some pics of that car...is the fan anodized? Looks pretty spiffy from the distance.

 

Disconnect them yes, but that gives you no advantage as you are not loosing the weight but you are loosing traction. If you want to remove the torque tube you have to change the shifter, shifter box and a few more things.

Go for a turbo engine and sell yours, that is the ultimate, best bang for the buck mod.

 

Is there a price advantage of going this route over having a competent tuner (RUF for example) add the turbo mods to your existing engine and change the internals? I kind of like the idea of keeping my engine as I know where its been . I have seen quotes for the comlete job in the $30k range.

 

Hi Alex
Typically a clean TT engine will cost you around USD20k and you can sell yours for around $12K if I am not mistaken. That's a net of $10k let's say including misc and mounting. You can also get a 500hp TT complete engine for $25-27k in great condition.

Adding strictly turbo system will take you to around $10-12k if properly done, that is without internals. Once you want to think about internals, you are talking $20-25k +. The TT engine has different pistons, heads and a few other things to improve cooling. For $10k for a TT engine you cannot go wrong bang for the buck...assuming you know where the engine came from.

My numbers are estimates, you know better the US market of course.
