What did you do to your 996TT today?
I have always had some kind of warning or clue that a hydraulic component was rapidly heading south. Not this time! Waiting on a flatbed tow now...
The only time I needed a flatbed; I was driving, went to shift and clutch just went right to floor. Something was able to hit the underside, left rear and ripped the clutch hardline. I replaced with a braided stainless line up to the left front wheel well.
Exactly! what a pal suggested might have happened. I can only hope that's "all" it is!

Yeah it felt like it wanted to keep going too I haven't ran it up that high on the dyno yet so I cant say for sure but it didn't feel like it was running out of steam at all, the more it revved the more it wanted but 8400 is the limit for now and redline will be set a couple hundred rpm lower until we get an idea of how the engine is wearing with the extra rpm that I have over the other 4.0s. The time trial/max power map will rev out as far as it keeps making power, but I'll limit it on the lower power maps for longevity. I needed to record some data in the upper rev ranges and test some functions before heading back to dyno to finish up the mapping.

So, when you built this one, you went with the GT3 crank and intermediate shaft?
I see John tears his down every couple of hundred hours (or less?), what is longevity to you in this application?
I'm so jealous, I want one of those so bad.

Same refresh intervals most likely, but 180-200 track hours is a lot of time. We've got lot of extra sensors to monitor engine health on mine so should have a good idea of when it needs a refresh before anything catastrophic happens, plus inspecting oil/filters at change intervals.

SO these are basically turbo'd GT3 motors?
8500 is like a 4 banger!!!

Yeah I think the only difference in my engine and pwdrhound's current one is my GT3 heads/cams/valvetrain, GT3 intake manifold/plenum, and I have Pauter rods instead of Carrillos.
