Thanks Mike.How's your car doing?Is it still a 700?

 

My car is great. Still at GT700/big TB/Stock internals. The evomsit software made a huge difference after a multi year saga of CELs from the other software provider. I wish these new 800 packages were ready to go when I had my car down there last spring. I think the new, yet to be released, 800 packages sound very interesting. Can't wait to see how both your car and Ben's car turn out. Two very different endeavors, but the spectrum of possibilities sounds promising.

 

Just wanted to give everyone an update on what is going on with this project.As some of you know already if you have read this thread we made 820 AWHP with the previous setup and we were tearing it down to install a custom grind set of intake and exhaust cams in an effort to make a little more power.As some of you guys already know modding is contagious,so while Evoms was developing the camshafts,Todd Zuccone and John Brey of Evoms went to work on developing a larger head stud to enable us to run more boost reliably.Now we were in for a lot more power!These studs are the Holy Grail.After thorough testing (these studs were tested in just about every configuration and thread contour until the best combo was achieved)these studs have nearly double the clamping force of the stock studs.Just to give you guys an idea of the difference these studs have made, Evoms is able to now torque the heads to 80 lb ft as compared to 42-45 lb ft with the stock or A.R.P. studs with out any crankcase distortion.This is serious.Anyone thinking of doing a motor build needs these.Evoms feels there will be no problem running 30lbs of boost or more reliably!It will probably see more in testing.Gone are the days of running 1.5 bar.

Some other additions below are the GT3RS crank and intermediate shaft along with the bigger rods.We did this because of where this car is headed power wise and rpm wise.In order to compliment the addition of the new camshafts operating range we felt that this was a must in order to sleep at night.8000+rpm here we come!Everything has been balanced, machined,and prepped.It is in the assembly phase and we should have some good dyno numbers for you guys next week at this time.

I would just like to publically thank Todd Z ,John Brey and all the Evoms guys for all the effort they have put into my car trying to make it the baddest 996 turbo on the planet.

 

Those are some beautiful pics of the internals. It almost makes me cry to think they'll soon be covered with oil and dirt and such. Thanks for sharing pics of your build.

 

I wan't to/need to do a build like that some day. Thanks for sharing and making my dreams farther and farther away...

 

Fantastic Joe, Talk about blazing a trail, might as well do it in style like you have. Incredible photos. I want some of those 12mm head studs...Cha Ching

Mike, it is getting even better than I had hoped for!

Ben

 

Awsome Joe. thanks for breaking ground. You too Ben. Things are looking up!

MIke

 

Looks great.

 

So far so good. Can't wait for the final results.

 

Joe I am in NY if you ever want to meet up, would love to see the beats !
