Thanks Matt.
Rick called me this morning to let me know the 2.5 is out of the car. The oil was loaded with coolant....and metal. I thought the smoke coming out had a steam component to it and now I know. It did.

Jerry, you can't really ever leave 944spec...too much fun, just like the mafia:

..."every time I think im out they keep pulling me back in!...."

JerryW

Yup - once the hook is in we don't let you go ! Are you coming to Porsches at the Point ? We've got Norm, Jim Foxx and Buzzetti all coming up

J richard

I was wanting to but I'm going to be running the cup at Rennsport the week prior (Yea unmuffled at laguna, cry me a river right?)... I'm only allowed so much fun, and then I have to go back to work and pay for it...I did just open a SoCal office so running with you guys is on my list!

Rick DeMan

Well, it's done and on the way to MMC for a little fun..!!

Install was clean and tidy, got all the good stuff added, X51 pan, New IMS, AOS, and a proper clutch.

Dyno results were 258HP at the wheels on my Dyna Pack!!!! Thats gonna be one fast Kitty..!!

Enjoy Dave..!

Rick, what was the cause of death of the 2.5?...

Brian A.

Dave, put me down as a test driver for the new kitty. 258rwhp.....

See you at NHMS in two weeks!

Jay Gratton

I will be happy to help you break it in Dave!

Coochas

Thanks Brian and Jay.
We're experiencing some growing pains but Rick is working on it. The new power is really nice and the higher 7300 rpm redline makes the gears nicely taller.
The car is unfortunately ingesting oil under higher g loads. We tried setting a lower oil level and changing the new AOS to a new one with no luck. Rick has the car in his shop and is looking into a few other things.

Matt Romanowski

Bummer there are some teething problems, but I'm sure Rick will get it worked out. Then it's all fun from there on! Are you coming to NHMS with the Lion?

Coochas

Irene is a kitty not a lion. Oh, the car.
We won't miss the NCR season finale and the associated pig roast. Mmmmm, pig. If the Pawxster isn't right by that time we'll drive the Mini or the 997. We'll be there!

Dave, are you using a cup AOS or the standard oem one?

Rick DeMan

Cup AOS?? Are you refering to the Porsche Motorsport AOS designed for the Cayman?? If so, thats a second design and does not fit the 99-2001 3.4 motors..
Correct me if you know otherwise...

jdistefa

^ Yup, that's the one.

My guys at the shop suggested finangling/macgyvering a fit if possible... but you'll know better than I what's possible

chsu74

"redridge" modified the cup AOS to fit into a 3.4L. It can be done but not plug and play.
