There was certainly something the factory didn't like about the standard non balancer pulley in the 3.8 with a triple belt.
This is very interesting and intriguing…
I have a 993 CUP engine that has a GT3R crankshaft ( a non tapered nose) with a 993 RS single pulley (993.102.050.40).
As I will keep my AC I need to buy a new crankshaft crank pulley with 2 or 3 sheaves. Or a serpentine fan belt kit from Clewett Engineering. None of them has a pulley that is dampened (HARMONIC DAMPER) like the 964 and 993Cup, 993 RSR.
I have the dual mass flywheel but was thinking of installing a RS lightweight flywheel (LWF) in the future. Or?
What is my best alternative?
1. Clewett serpentine belt Kit (http://www.clewett.com/index.php?mai...roducts_id=135)
2. 993 RS w/AC (993.102.050.41)
3. Have my GT3R crankshaft machined to a tapered nose and install the 964 pulley, 964.102.151.00, (harmonic damper 3 sheave)

It's a puzzle all right virtually every 993Cup I've seen has the 3 sheave crank pulley.
But there have been one or 2 w/o. Similarly I have seen one 964 Cup that should have the 3 pulley but instead has the RS single pulley, I spoke w/ the owner and his mechanic both swore that it was a stock 964Cup except for the pulley, he has since changed it back to the pure stock form for PCA racing in GTC1

Still have the cat?
That's very similar to mine, mine has turbo mufflers and no cat though & SW chip w/ custom programming. Also measured at the rear wheel. If I apply a 15% correction it come to 326hp@6500, actual at the wheel is 283hp on a Dynapak

What I have found is that % gains from motor upgrades will be the same on different dynos, even if the numbers are different. I had this with a 9m 993 +2 engine package for a customer in Australia recently who's chosen rolling road gave numbers 15% lower than expected. Solved the problem by testing a standard 993Vr on the same dyno and finding that it was also 15% down but still showed the 17% relative gain that we predicted. As ever, don't get hung up on the numbers, just focus on the delta that you measure.

So, I put my '92 Cup on a Dynojet chassis dyno and it recorded 251 HP or about a 21 HP "loss" compared to the brake dyno numbers.
Interesting thing here is I just built a 3.8 with 1995 non-varioram intake, stock 1995 port sizes, '96 varioram valve sizes and Schrick mechanical rocker cams, custom Mahle pistons to go with GT3 130 mm Ti rod bottom end using an 8 pound GT3 RS 4.0 flywheel .
This engine recorded 290 HP on the same dyno and using same corrections and using the identical 993 G50/32 6-speed gearbox I had in the 964 for its dyno runs
So, adding in the loss of the gearbox I would guess 310 HP on a brake dyno for my 3.8 which seems pretty consistent here.

X51 Question, Does Anyone Know ??
Was there any 1994-1995. 993. 3.8. 4WD. Non Turbo. 6 Speed. Non Varioram, RS, RSR, CUP & GT or GT2 993 made with slim bodies for racing ?
I'm interested because I have an X51 993 1995 Carrera 4 Non Varioram Slim body.
