    How about 420whp sti ra box and a ej257. July is the delivery date of the kit not sure hope to be on the road for txs2k15

     

    I knew you were talking about it but i didnt know you pulled the trigger!!! Did you get an 818S or an 818R? I can't wait to ride in this beast once its here/together!!!

    The guy has to take his front bumper off just to pull into/out of the damn carwash and still got stuck... Shit that low is just retarded, and those rear wheels look dumb as hell.

     

    Why would you want something that low thats static and has to be driven like that? Must be a horrible ride, get stuck on everything etc.

     

    Id just bag the thing and call it a day.

    The "Rotsun", check. Turbo off a diesel, check. Autocross at goodguys, check.

     

    Decent episode but would of liked to see what kind of times that car could of done on the 1/4.

    Interesting... So it seems Precision turbos are just copys and parts of other turbos put into one... Seems like it would almost be better to get a Garrett over a Precision and get a billet wheel for it.

     

    Well for there older units at least, until they started designing there own turbo.

    I just cant wait till they find the plane or figure out what REALLY happened. So many possible WHAT IF's and scenarios make it nearly impossible to try and believe any one theory or anything that one person has posted.

    Beautiful manifold man... just awesome. Can't wait to hear what kind of power it makes whenever you hear back from the customer! Also wonder how the spool is on that. Also surprised they had you build that beautiful manifold but didnt make him some custom downpipes for the setup...

     

    Do you prefer using T4/T6 etc. type flanges or V-Banding the manifolds? I feel like a V-Band would be easier and more efficient.

    Rolling Anti-Lag is awesome. Someday people will be like "Whats brake boosting you speak of?" and they'll have no clue since everything then will have Traction Control, Stability, Magnetic Ride (Or something like it), Anti-Lag, Rolling Anti-Lag, other shit thats unheard of yet, and this will be on your cheap sports cars lol

     

    Also I thought all new cars built after a certain year (Cant remember) had to close the throttle once the brake was applied due to the Toyota incidents

  25. Opinions on this car?

    The Turbo version of the 997 series featured the same 3.6 L twin-turbocharged engine as the 996 Turbo, but this time it developed 480 PS (353 kW; 473 bhp) and 620 N·m (457 lb·ft) of torque. This was in part due to the 997's VTG (variable turbine geometry), which essentially combines the low-rev boost and quick responses of a small turbocharger with the high-rev power of a larger turbocharger. As well as producing more power and flexibility, the new turbocharger improved fuel consumption over the 996 Turbo. With these performance upgrades, it accelerates to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.7 seconds (with the manual transmission) and reaches a top speed of 310 km/h (193 mph). However, these are official figures and Porsche is notable for being conservative about their power and performance ratings. Motor Trend magazine has clocked the 997 Turbo's 0–60 mph time in 3.2 seconds with the Tiptronic transmission. Jeremy Clarkson on his "Thriller" DVD, showed that on a de-restricted stretch of autobahn with just the right downwards gradient, the car maxed out 200 mph (320 km/h). The optional Sports Chrono overboost package increases torque to 680 N·m (500 lb·ft) for short periods (maximum 10 seconds) but over a narrower rev range.

     

    The 997 Turbo features a new all-wheel-drive system, similar to the one found on the Porsche Cayenne. Featuring PTM (Porsche Traction Management) the new system incorporates a clutch-based system which varies the amount of torque to the wheels to avoid tyre slippage. This, according to Porsche, aids traction and the handling by redirecting the torque to control oversteer or understeer, thus resulting in far more neutral handling, as well as greatly improved performance in all weather conditions (as opposed to older AWD system which gave the Turbo stability under hard acceleration). However, in the facelifted 911 Turbo, launched in August 2009,[23] the PTM system has now been tweaked to give more a more rearward power bias. The new 911 Turbo also has paddle shifters for the PDK double-clutch gearbox for the first time.[23] The new 911 turbo uses a completely different engine. The previous water-cooled turbos (996 and 997) measured 3600cc and were based on the so-called Mezger motor that powered numerous race cars. The new engine measures 3800cc and was first developed for the new carrera that was launched in 2008. The variable-vane twin turbochargers have also been extensively reworked to increase responsiveness, and the intercooler and fuel system have been uprated. It develops 493 bhp which is 20 bhp more than the previous model.[23] The steering wheel also houses a display showing when Sport, Sport Plus and launch control have been selected through the optional Sport Chrono package.[23] Porsche claims the new 911 turbo will go from 0 to 100 kilometres per hour (0 to 62 mph) in 3.4 seconds and reach a top-speed of 312 kilometres per hour (194 mph). However, several tests done by Auto-Magazines and impartial testers have revealed that the 0–100 km/h acceleration-time is generally as low as 2.9 seconds.

     

    Styling wise, as with the 996 Turbo the car featured more distinctive styling cues over the Carreras, one of the more distinctive elements the front LED driving/parking/indicator lights mounted on a horizontal bar across the air intakes. The traditional rear wing is a variation of the 996 bi-plane unit.

     

    A new 911 Turbo S has been announced by Porsche for production in 2010. This is, in essence, a fully optioned Porsche 911 Turbo. It has a PDK gearbox, sport exhausts, and other such options as standard. It also comes with re engineered turbos to give an extra 30 horsepower to a total of 523 hp. A 2010 911 Turbo S was tested 0–60 in 2.7 seconds with the PDK transmission by Car and Driver magazine. Road & Track tested the 911 Turbo S and achieved a 0–60 time of 2.6 seconds. The 911 Turbo S can reach a top-speed of 315 kilometres per hour (196 mph).

     

    All pulled from wiki about the 997 Turbo from the 997 Series (2005-2012)

     

    Is this true? Is the 997 Turbo S really that fast? And even though they keep talking PDK PDK PDK can he get a 6 speed Turbo S?
