I figured that if we don't get to 475 you guys wouldn't want to talk to me anymore?!?? P.S. You have a 997.2 GTS too?! Hold onto that thing! That's one of the most underestimated track cars around!
Lol! 475 HP at the crank in a GT4 would be absolutely amazing IMO. Crazy fast!
Love the GTS!
Lol..i bet. Rest assured, we have done 3 X51 Power Kit 981 swaps already and for 2 years I drove with an X51 intake manifold in my 981 street car. Ask ChrisF - He and Stephen were in my shop and saw my modified intake manifold. Of course they are sworn to secrecy but they can at least attest to the fact that it exists, has been modified and already fits. We don't play 3 card monte here!
What kind of modification work do you have to do to get the X51 manifold to fit?
The week we have all been waiting for (myself mostly) is finally upon us. Today we are removing the GT4 motor from our car. The 3.99L bits are here along with the Cargraphic GT4 race manifolds, Cargraphic 12lb. lightweight flywheel, sprung hub clutch disc, ported 991 cylinder heads, X51 intake manifold, K&N filters and anything else of which i can think to bolt to this monstrosity! I will be posting photos, making comments and following up with a dyno run.
"Add Lightness" Ounces = Pounds, Pounds kill Performance, the lightweight flywheel is legit!
Why is that guy YELLING?!? not to get off topic but it would be possible. Obviously with the new turbos coming out, the game is changing but the same amount of 3.99L daydreaming that took place for years also has another chapter involving a 997.2 twin turbo drivetrain mated to a short ratio 6-spd 987.2 gearbox. It would have to be a Frankenstein with trunk mounted intercoolers and you would probably melt the shocks with the heat trapped in the engine bay but on paper, it could be done. All it takes is the right customer. It would require a front sway bar from a locomotive and 14" wide rear tires and you wouldn't be moving your slider for a Drift Setup because it would be the ultimate sideways tire smoldering machine. People have built some monster 997 TT cars.
See how easy it is to get off-topic? Don't spool me up!
My neighbors are going to hate me but I'm looking forward to installing these gorgeous works of art given that we helped design them and how much racing success they have given us. It's the best $ you will ever spend!
