Are you really sure that It's a GT3 engine?

What GT3 engine euro specs do you mean? Mk1 (360 HP)? Mk2 (381 HP)?

What about the elctronics? you know... PSM.... and so on...


This is a 996 GT3 Mk1 engine:





you are wrong in the pic showed

That's an M96 motor case with a wet sump. The GT series and TT use a dry sump and don't have the removable sump pan on the bottom. The oil also drains from the oil tank that sits to the back right of the motor. Maybe you have a special modded M96???

Here's a pic of a GT3 motor case. Notice there are 2 case halves that join in the bottom at center, no pan.

Notice that the GT3 dry sump engine is very different to what you showed.
The oil filter is upwards, and yours has the oil filter downwards

There are no resemblances between both engines

No Bull****????

You said that you built this engine...
Someone is wrong. Your accountant told you something very different to reality.
Perhaps he knows everything ion accounts, but nothing about GT3 engines.

Not to bust your nuts, but maybe your accountant is better with numbers than Porsche engines...

Nice C4S - As Ahmet mentioned - it is a M96 motor. It is not a GT3 engine.
Not to be a jerk, but by insisting "no bull**** its a GT3 eurospec engine" and "i know this for a fact that cars got over 10k in software" and "as far as software, i dont have the correct diagnostic equipment to do that", it really just makes us doubt the story...

So, your car clearly doesn't have a GT3 engine, but, we're all sure it's very fast.

I agree with you
I don't understand these kind of phrases ("no bull**** its a GT3 eurospec engine")
