My sympathy for your ordeal, but one car out of hundreds modified does not constitute as data...it is just anecdotal.

 

Thanks for that.......you think my "data" comes just from my own car ? I didn't realise my credibilty with you was so shallow ?

It is up to individuals to decide about the rods issue, DK and Switzer talk about their experience and I give a slightly different view through 21 years of being immersed in Porsche tuning..... I think we have got somewhere and I have accepted that saying 850NM as a limit cannot be definitive due to dyno numbers and usage....

 

Toby, you take things all too seriously. If I thought that your credibility was a problem, I would have said something like "you lied..." LOL...just kidding.

 

I've got 10,000 miles of 600+ hp under my belt with no problems and I drive my car enthusiastically to say the least. Infact the current turbos are being replaced and will bump my power to around 750bhp. All stock internals with no fear of damage. It's all about the Tuner.

 

Yes..that is why we are running all our Switzer car here to TOP END at least twice a week over a summer...did over 13 k miles on SPI 750 without anyprobs and car is making over 830NM for sure...

We beat many EURO tuners...you know ??? they still cant catch up...

 

Dont believe 9FF...all their cars broke here....

BEST 1/4 time on thier 70k EURO 800 HP 997 TT with built enine was high 10s or low 11s...then borke down...nothing but problems...

Other EURO tuned 997 TT with GT2 TURBOs with TIPs also lost and engine last week...

Futhermore we beat 9FF thier GT2 705HP amd 925 NM with our SPI 750 bolt on kit many times...roling start...there are vids to prove that....


Here is the real world ROAD RACE TESTs...all the time plus we drive the everyday... Over 13k miles with mod on Porsche...racing 2-3 times a week at least, going to tracks and so on...so far soo goood 0-100 in 2.8 0-200 in 8.7, 0-300 I think will be very high 19 or low 20...

We beat all EURO tuned 997 TT here....Here you can be see best result btw SPI 750 and 9FF 705 an d925 NM GT2 and EDO Competition 650 997 TT

NO WORDs, NO NUMBERs...NO BS....you can see everything with your eyes...look at the our vid there as well...and you can see what happens...


NOW GT2 guy that was beated is getting 1000 HP upgrade by 9FF....and another 997 TT TipS is getting 950 HP kit.... Both will be ready before SPRING next YEAR and I will RUN with them with my new project cr... that is getting built NOW...




More to come stay TUNED !!!

 

sounds like reputable european tuners such as 9ff are losing their engines even with internals. there is no guarantee that your engine will last any longer with internals. GT Rus has a car now with over 13K miles of hard miles on it. eventually, all motors will fail, but people talk like you will be lucky to make it over a weekend on a road course. let's give credit when credit is due.

 

I've already said a bit about 9ff, not sure who they are reputable with ? They don't build race engines just bling street cars with explodamotors...

I guess you don't know the history of "internals" AKA rods ? It was when the 993GT2 race cars started hitting 800NM that rod failures were becoming a problem, The GT2 had a "reinforced" version of the standard 993tt rod (see below) but that still bent (my early model '96 993tt had the GT2 rods and bent them !)



The solution came from Carrillo whose fantastic product completely cured this problem and has been used successfully ever since by racers.

The problem with vendors on forums is that punters never get to hear of problems like (poor running on normal fuel - I know in one UK mag a guy rode shotgun in a 800hpGTR and said it felt the same as his stock one - fuel was blamed....!!), only competitors failures (like the 9ff breakdowns - and why is the guy going back to them for 1000hp when his existing one broke ?). Having said that if the above is true and everything is running sweetly for sure credit where credit is due....

 

I believe the tuner plays a huge role when it comes to reliability.

On a side note, I just stumbled on this movie where the GTR P800 was getting work done on the side of the street. What went wrong?

YouTube - Nissan GT-R Switzer P800 remont 2

 

One off the hoses came off...nothing major....After we over boosted the car....It was tuned and tested at lower boost that we set and runned the car that night...so this had to be fixed on street...nothing major...

LAST weekends this exact GTR P800 has shown FASTEST 1 mile of 26.9 and 10.418 in 1/4 !!! Owner is super happy !!!
