@@cyrilperroud1130 that's awesome to hear! Yes a conventional gasket is used on the exhaust side on these. I'm sure Pauter would be happy to machine an oring groove in the exhaust flange if we requested it. Be sure to watch the next video in this series. I go over the strength of the different alloys vs temperatures. There's some surprises in there for sure!

Just when you think you got it.... I say otherwise.

Sweet!

@@kidnplaye4630 is there anything in particular I can help with?

Yes, but be sure to put the nozzle on the outlet tank. You never want to fill the intercooler with meth.. It'd be a bomb waiting to go off! Meth inj does have a purpose and functionality and when done right. It cools very well and raises the octane and only consumes when in boost. Otherwise you drive on normal fuel when you don't need it.

Yes :). We also have many mini jigs where we produce headers, exhausts, intercoolers, ypipes and all kinds of goodies for 996tt and 997.1tt. Even 991.1/991.2tt xpipe exhausts :). What are you after?

Thanks!

Lol, thanks :) I thought the POV of the boring head was pretty different, so I had fun with it :)

@@protomotive Are you at all nervous machining these expensive cases or can you just do it in your sleep? LOL

@@joebolognio5508 The liability is high, yes. This particular one was a brand new 4.0 Gt3 case from Porsche with brand new liner carriers. And having to work with 0% defect rate should make anyone nervous!

@@protomotive Very impressive!! Well done!!

Yeah definitely one of those underappreciated jobs for sure!

@@HORUS9 the tpc kit has been a great option for a nice cost. There's another kit made in the UK by ern or something like that. It's similar in cost to the tpc kit but a twin turbo system. We tune a lot of cars for both kits. But haven't bothered with making a system for the boxster since there's not only those but many shops custom fabbing systems for them already. So check them out and give us a shout when you're ready to tune!

@@protomotive thanks a bunch !!

@@HORUS9 you're welcome.. It was mrn not ern sorry. Here's a link. The tuning isn't great for the US cars. Maybe good there. www.mrnracetechnologies.com/

@@protomotive I've spoken MRN before.... They only deal with the 3.4 DFI engines and mine is a bit older so TPC is basically the best option.

@@HORUS9 hmm. The MRN cars I've tuned were all 987.1 Caymans. Non dfi cars. Basically your car just a cayman vs boxster. Yeah, here it is. 987.1 version www.mrnracetechnologies.com/product-page/987-1-twin-turbo-conversion-usa. But the tpc kit may be more readily available. Actually I can get them for you if you'd like. I am a dealer for them :)

I should hope so! 😊

Great show!

😂 Yes, thouest intercooler ist most grand! 😎

For sure. We should probably make a full video about it!

Lol, right? Then send it back out into the battlefield!

@@protomotive the true hillbilly way 🤣

@@sammybalamby Well, we are in Arkansas! I hear Banjo's playing in the back woods sometimes, lol :)

@@sammybalamby Well at least Arkansas FINALLY got a Porsche dealership :) Just opened in Little Rock. We are catching up!

Lol, yeah... And those are little guys compared to a lot of the turbos we run these days!

@@protomotive 🐌🤯

@@sammybalamby 😂🤣

@@toddknighton Lol, a single gt3794 like we ran on the orange GT2 produces as much as a pair of those gt2860rs!

There are definitely a few annoyances with the Abs/Psm system on the 996tt. My personal car was doing a strange thing where it would tend to lock up the front right tire in cold weather right in the middle of a corner. That turned out to be the Yaw sensor in front of the shifter. No errors... On the track, the PSM tends to lock up when part throttling out of high speed corners. There's a hack for that where people install a switch to disable the yaw sensor once you're started up. it won't flag any errors, keeps the Abs on, but disables the PSM which is cool. The better way to go is to install a GT2 or Motorsports ABS unit and remove the psm. With that done, I can code out the PSM from the ecu and all is happy again. So, there's a few tips for ya :)

@@protomotive my yaw sensor was doing a lot of random shit on my Autel diagnostic

@@protomotive Fabulous info, do you have a link?

@@sidewayssam this is from Planet 9 forum. Actually the "wiring work" is really easy. Not harder than hard wiring a radar detector. Just locate the Yaw sensor under the carpet on the hump, by the drivers right shin. Cut the ground wire (brn/yel) and install a rocker switch between the two ends of the ground wire. When you want PSM OFF, turn the switch OFF. When you want PSM ON, turn the switch ON, and cycle the ignition. I soldered in longer wires an installed the switch on the trim panel under the parking brake. This trim panel is really cheap and simple to replace. Plus the switch is easy to reach. On the street or in the rain, I have it ON. On the track, in the dry, I ALWAYS have it OFF. actual link: www.planet-9.com/threads/psm-on-or-off.27747/page-3

@@sidewayssam Mine never flagged an error for it, but replacing it solved the issue I was having. I did find a Non-PSm ABS I was going to swap out, but never seem to get the time to tackle that one.

Lol, Sorry? Yeah, there's just soooo much you can do with them :) They're an outstanding car to purchase for a baseline since they can grow with you.

Just showing off my Cat like Reflexes! :)

@@protomotive i think keenan has better reflexes than a cat!

@@sammybalamby Lol, no joke! I had to record him catching his toy in super slow mo and it almost looks like normal speed!

The TSB was on the 3.8 and 4.0 GT3 engine case freeze plugs, but is relevant to the 996tt/997.1TT engine cases as well. It was showing how to properly stake the freeze plugs in place to keep them from blowing out randomly. It was showing the large one by the bell housing on the bottom of the case, and the other large one inside the bellhousing. When you purchase a new engine case, they've learned the hard way and do stake them properly. I searched for it for a while and can't seem to locate it. When it turns back up, I'll shoot it over to you. It was originally sent to me by our distributor in the UK, NineExcellence. Ken may have it floating around.

Lol, yeah, tongue tied.

you got it eventually :p

@@sammybalamby yeah....

No, the drill for the 12mm studs perfectly clears the original hole. For the 7/16" head stud kits we use timeserts since the difference isn't great enough to allow perfect threads. But the 12mm threads come out beautiful and don't require the extra work on timeserts. :) BTW, never use helicoil! Timeserts are nice. Helicoils come out and don't add any strength.

With you as well!

Lol, yeah, only the US cars have a clutch switch. Apparently Porsche doesn't trust us silly Americans to not drive our car through the wall. Or the lawsuits they had early on forced the issue. Since all my cars have clutch switch disabled, it's just a force of habit to be sure they're always in neutral before starting.

Yes the k16s hit a wall in the low 600whp levels with big compressors where we've run k2471s up to 900 crank hp! We talk about that in our other video series as well :)

Thank you! We're glad you're enjoying them and learning at the same time :). 😊

Combined with great editing ❤️

We're working on it!

Me too!

Awesome! Goal achieved :). Part 2 and 3 coming soon for even more fun.

We have yours here waiting for you! :)

So when you upgrade your current problem clutch you have to our dual, you can know how to assemble it :)

Had

@@protomotive oh that’s for sure , great infos , beautifully explained how it goes together and it work . Thank you

@@yllwturbo you're very welcome! I'll see about getting to your datalogs tomorrow.

Thank you sir I appreciate it

Lol, yup. You wouldn't believe how many calls we get from other shops saying the engine won't Rev over 4k. I'm like, I know exactly what's going on!

You are very welcome. Part 2 and 3 on the way!

Oh that's fantastic that it helped you. There's a few others we didn't cover like intake lifters update and oil gallery plugs but did get most of them! Let us know if we can help you.

Lol, we have 5 in our shop right now. Two more we're helping build in a friend's shop in the NE, and other friends with many! I guess we have access to the majority?

​@@protomotiveold money one percenters

@@scottchelmford7136 lol, sure. But still amazing cars :)

They were well built and are holding up very well to time!

Nice! It's a rare sight these days. Do you like 993 turbos?

@@protomotive I have owned 3 air cooled turbo's 79 82 89 Now on my 2nd 996tt But yes 993 in arena red please

​@@kidnplaye4630 too fun! An arena red 993tt was recently sold to a good client of ours that's now doing a really fun 6 to 700whp build :). Are your 996tt's getting any love? Tuning? Modded or stock? My cobalt blue 996tt is a hoot!

@@protomotive tip was stock x50 6spd full marksi tune

@@kidnplaye4630 nice :). Give us a shout if you'd like to play with them some more. The k24s on the x50 compressors are pretty small and taper back on boost. Some 18g compressors, Injector and pump upgrade can get them quickly up another 100hp :)

Thanks! Shoot me an email or give me yours and I'll get you some ballpark estimates. There's many ways to do these, so we should discuss how you use the car, what fuels you have available etc. :). My email is Sales@protomotive.com

I just emailed you thank you

Awesome! I'll put something together for you when I get into work tomorrow.

@@protomotive thank you so much

@@saynotowrinkles you're very welcome 🙂

Yes with the base cost of the 996 turbo being nice and low that gives you plenty left over for the fun bits!

Lol, these are chump change compared to the ugr lambos and even new Porsches.

Absolutely.

Aha! You get it totally! 🙂. Which one would you build?

Let's do it!

Yeah, too funny!

Thank you. @roadsuntraveled did a full video on it "we found a 1000hp 996tt where you'd least expect it". It's on our channel at www.youtube.com/@protomotive :)

Thank you. And super smooth idle with 1680cc injectors! My tuner did an amazing job 😉

@@protomotive woah, are you running only 6 injectors? thats pretty tight for 1000hp on E, isnt it?

@@TheGreener121 We've run the 1650 and 1680cc injectors on E85 to 1280whp on our Dynapack4000 at 3.8 bar fuel pressure. So they have almost 20% headroom left at only 1000whp. They work well at 5.0 bar as well for a bit more. Then the next step are the 2150/2200cc injectors. They work nice on E85 but are not great on pump gas at idle / drivability stuff. We really like the 1650s since they're dual fuel capable and still idle and drive well even on pump gas :) The 1680s are E85 ONLY. I think it's the MTBE that they don't like, so be careful if you try to run C85 from VP racing since it has MTBE in it and will swell the seals closed. But yeah, I ran out of turbo on this engine well before the fuel system. But I do love the insane boost response and low end torque these make with a pull that never stops from the Gt3 intake :)

You nailed it! 😅

@@protomotive that's feels good to hear that from the Knightons. The badass mega 911 builders🏎

@@gregoryfranks7347 It's awesome to hear from our Viewers and good friends out there as well!
