For those of you who have already "outgrown" your EVOMS superchargers

996TT Motor on Ebay

 

now that would be one hell of a project....

 

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't that seller have a questionable history among the P-car community?

 

i believe so...not recommending anyone buy off ebay (hell i don't think i would..especially since he doesn't seem to take paypal/visa)...

but thikn about it: the 996TT motor is a direct drop in (especially if you have E-Gas) and ive seen used motors/tranny combos for as low as 20-25 grand canadian. add an aftermarket ECU and stuff and you're looking at what ? 30 g's?

chip it, exhaust get the motor upto like 550-600HP in a really lightweight, and RWD C2, and you'd have a bullit!

 

don't you need special tranny, etc. to support the TT power?

 

^ yeah..turbo tranny

 

I have a motor from an 2003 car with less than 5K miles on it. Has the wiring harness and only needs a DME. If someone is seriously considering to install this motror in their NA 996, I will step up and help out with the project.

Remember, you have to change the tranny as well.

greek, send me the info and price on this because i was considering doing this swap later on.

 

E-mail sent.

This would not be a hell of a project. It would be the project from Hell

 

Not really. It depends on who is doing the install and what kind of experience they have with " special " Porsche projects. When the ground work is well planned, i.e. all parts for install, additional modifications to car, it doesn't turn out so bad.

Or you could sell your C2 and take your money plus 30 g's and buy a used TT.

 

your not trading in your wife when you want bigger....skinnier you know whats??? Are you??? So if your baby needs a bigger engine....more power...you give it that!!

Ofcourse I am being sarcastic...I would trade mine in and put the money in a TT.....doesn't the turbo also has different shocks?? and other TT specific parts and setups??

 

^ shocks and whatnot can be adapted (revalved pss9's) and ubermensch, if i can sell my car and parts for 60 something grand, i will put a diposit on the GT3 RS or a 996GT2. i really really don't fell like going to a 4WD.

But for those who have bought a 996 C2 for cheap enuff, a turbo engine swap may be a cost effective and crazy project worth doing.

 

Would there be any market to sell a 996 C2TT though?
