Selcuk,

That GT2 is gorgeous.
Don't remember if we have discussed this before but have you done any 60-130mph runs to verify the power?

Is it a 3.8 twin plug?

Hello & Thanks once again Jean..

I am planning to by a drift box this weekend. But I did not measure anything yet.. It ıs not twin plug by the way. And does it really plays a big role while gaining power ??

Wow, that almost looks as good as it did when it left Dallas!

JK, nice ride.

Removing the clear-bra prove to be problematic, The body shop wound up repainting the front lip, front bumper, hood and fenders and blended everything into the doors.

Hi Rob,

I'll pitch in...

Not sure I belong here yet as I've not yet put the car on a dyno. I just had Todd at Protomotive build my turbos to 16/16G spec with an ecu tune and 5bar fpr. Just put the car back on the road last weekend, and put a couple hundred miles on (with no boost) to make sure the seals seat well.

I've only put the hammer down twice now since putting the miles on. I can tell the character of the car has changed. Boost comes on smoothly...the tune seems very street-able.

Even if the crank hp is raised into the low to mid 500s, not sure if I can officially call myself a member of the 500+ club?

I'll be out of town for a week starting tomorrow, but plan to start a thread about the reasoning behind rebuilding perfectly good turbos in the first place when I get back. (started as a check valve install )

The car in question:

^^^^ I recently had Todd do the same to my car. I am very happy with the results as well. I'm in process of more changes...updates to come.

Hey Adam

Your car is lovely, the 630hp claim is as tedious as my pathetic annoyance with it.......

Do a 60-130mph run starting in 3rd and ending in 5th and we can tell you how much hp you have - it will start with a 4 or 5

Very nice pictures above!

How much boost can you run on a stock 993? How much power can a stock motor hold?

adamvandenbos

Your right the 630hp claim is something the photographer added.

TB993tt

I'm just being cantankerous. ignore me, you have done a superb job with your 3.8

TB993tt

more than about 1.1 bar will lead to head leakage, about 520hp can be had with 1.1bar or slightly less with the right blowers.

Air cooled engines can't handle boost like the newer stuff, the heads like to warp with the heat

Thanks. I think maybe running less boost with bigger turbos might be the trick to maybe running 1 bar?...
