I´m thinking about if its possible to go from AWD > 2WD on the 996 turbo
Anyone done it?
What do you have to do?
How much weight does it save?
What will the reliabilty be afterwards?
Will the transmission stand for 500-650HP?
Any other ups or downs?

I do not rember that you have a 996 turbo, but maybe you are asking for a friend..

 

Hi Richard :-)
Let say that I´m asking for a friend for the time being :-)

/Pete

 

I understand, i know this was way out of your leage...

 

Haha allways as friendly.. :-)
Maybe a can come buy your shop someday discussing an idea I have maybe you are interested in a sponsorship? :-)

Maybe it´s out of my league maybe it´s not.. ;-)

As you know, you got what you deserve, SMR faster then puppan in SS..

You are welcome by so we can discus our P-cars, maybe we can take a pizza some day, patrik and some other p car owner can join us..

 

Sure, pizza sounds good! :-)

And by the way cheeting on the new asfalt with a ricer can´t be compared to my old run that was made in the mud ;-)
I will forever be the fastest 2wd car on R-tires on the old asfalt... ;-)

Wow!!! I knew Northern Europe countries were "cold...ish" but thats ICE cold!

P.S. Many have done this 2wd mod without much hassle with the increased bonus of keeping the PSM, some of them come to this forum...

 

If you want to just try 2WD ,just undo the drive coupling .

Are all you Swedish guys this friendly ? !!!!!!!!!

Wow, cant get a word in edge wise with all the male bonding!!! The answer is do a search people are always talking about it...short answer buy a GT2.....not worth it......drivetrain problems.....weight is about 150lb savings....just my 2 cents but many have done it and are happy with it!!!
Ok you guys can get a room now!!

 

I think you guys missunderstod us, i know puppan from before, and i have nothing more then love for him, but he has always been slower then me and he has hard to take that..

 

relax, just a little humor!!

 

I know :-)

Rickard is only sad because he mostly working with "Ricers"... haha...
He knows that I'm the fastest! ;-)

I did a search but dident really understand if it was any reliability problems with the gearbox after removing the Fwd?
Can somone explain what PSM stands for?
Dosent the TT have a Limited slip differential in the rear end?
Will a GT3 supercup gearbox fitt the TT is it the same mountings?

/Pete

 

PSM=Porsche Stability Managment.

996 TT doesn't have a LSD in the back so if you go two wheel drive, you might think of putting an LSD in there.

Don't know about a GT3 supercup fitting the 996 turbo.
