I've seen pretty much everything done to a cayman... ever. And that is not a kit, its a one off build. I've spoken to Patritti while he was over at BBI building a wide body turbo-cab, he is a great guy.

That being said, I am more interested in function (actual aero) that has good design, rather than just something that looks good.

Betim is the best.

BBI modified my Porsche. Can't say enough good things.

JCay,..
You may want to think about doing something to allow for bigger rubber. That is a real limitation for the bigger HP TPC turbo Caymans being tracked hard. They need bigger tires!

I think you already know all of the possibilities.

Best of Luck!!

Yes indeed - It's on the drawing board

Okay, so for the record... This project is going to take a fair amount of time. More than I originally anticipated. I would rather do it correctly than do it quickly. Good parts take time to research, source, manufacture and fabricate. I guestimate about 4-5 months.


That said, here are some new pictures;

As I mentioned before, the new parts have arrived. These piston's were sourced from a European company that is heavily involved in Formula 1.

Here is the 4L kit with the optional motorsports high-lift exhaust cam.


Another view of the same:


Now, for reference on exactly how much of a difference the 3.6L is to the 4.0L here is the stock piston inside the 4.0L sleeve:


Here is another of the new piston on the stock sleeve:



Oh... and if anyone wants to sponsor me (a measly 100k) i'll put this Individual Throttle Body on the motor. This is one throttle body per cylinder!!


Here are my shiny new 380mm Brembos (350's are going on the rear):



More soon... hopefully.

I'll say it again, incredible build! You are taking this very seriously and it shows. Can't wait to see the next steps.
