Anyone have any suggestions for a 3.4 engine for my 996. I just blew mine up at Watkins Glen this weekend. Looking for a quality rebuilt. Or I may just part out the rest of the car.
Any help would be appreciated.

I posted a question at 6speed.
The Dyno pull was on a stand & not rear wheel HP, correct?

Dan Jacobs had one for sale.

Why did it blow up?

I've got a truck leaving from Ontario Canada in a couple of days if you decide to go our route :-)

NO, this dyno chart shows the results of a chassis dyno test of a Duplicate engine installed in a Boxster which has more restrictive DME tuning,exhaust, intake manifold & aircleaner housing than a 996. To compensate for horsepower loss thru drivetrain to rear wheels add approx. 15% + 10% if installed in 996 chassis. Engine output is simular to a oem 996 3.6


I don't know of anyone that can dyno a M96/7 Porsche engine out of the car.
I have been to Porsche Motorsports & watched them dyno test GT3 engines, but they had zero interest in adapting the dyno for M96/7 engine testing or talking about them for that matter.

Right here.. You saw it when you attended my class.

I'm going through the same process right now, and selected a builder by recommendation/reputation.

Have you diagnosed your motor? Are the crank and case (core) in good shape? Do you have a budget? Are you pressed for time?

Byprodriver

Sorry Jake I should have known better! but you are usually quoting chassis dyno spec's & I was 20 min. late to class the 1st day & missed your shop tour.

Flat6 Innovations

Yep, you were late and missed a lot!

I quote chassis dyno numbers as thats the comparative with what everyone else states in reference to these engines. Here we have two engine dynes and a chassis dyno, engine dynes are generally only used for R&D where we want to reduce variables as much as possible.

To set the engine up in the test cell takes 1.5 days longer than it does to install it into a car, so its not uncommon for an engine to reside on the R&D dyno for 3-4 months at a time while we carry out development.

Well, wording means everything, those are good numbers!

Byprodriver

Yes, I'm glad you asked for clarification. The Torque produced by this engine modification is fantastic, especially with butt dyno testing!

Sale price with out engine?
Put a LS3 in it?
