One of the best write-ups I've seen on TS. Thanks for sharing, Dan! Kudos to both Sharkwerks and EVOMS for putting together this awesome package. Keep up the great work, guys!

Like how Sharky is the wanker ;p
Seriously our pleasure and we're so darned excited so it's just fun to show this stuff and the process. The EVO guys are the same way- just plain car geeks and they'll never hide anything

And the wanker, well what else can one expect eh?!

Doh that's a real shame We're going to be hosting this locally on our site too so hopefully you can see that too. Have you tried different PC's?

Two questions though, Porsche stated 3.8l would be the limit of reliable displacement for the GT1-block, how should that be interpreted?

I see you're running on 91 octane and 93 octane, are octane levels always this low in the US? In Europe you can at least get 98 octane and 100 octane is often available too... Or does it have something to do with different octane reading (RON vs. AKI), in that case "your" 93 would equal "our" 97-98 RON?

Just curious

Edit: Wiki to the rescue
Good one on Wiki re: gas... And great question on the theoretical/safe limits. Porsche is right when they say the 3.8 is the max even with steel liners but that's because the use Mahle. The technology/metalurgy of the kit we're using is actually something that F1, Rally and other race teams have been using/proving for years. So it's not OEM in terms of mass production but it's very expensive by comparison but the steel liners are very durable/strong.

Next year who knows... 4.2 stroked lol?

Hey AudiRS, wow.. thank you for saying that. We really are proud of how things turned out (as is EVOMS) and the best part now is giving every single person we can find that's a Porsche-nut, a demo ride! Tough life

Here's James starting her up for the first time with the 3.9. I think this was right around 11 PM that night. Sorry for the phone-quality video.

Here's a few pix/updates guys on the two 997 GT3's we're building... one is a white 2008 and the other a silver 2007.

Out she comes:



Guys we should all take a lesson here... This clutch has seen 37,000 "hard" (and I mean that) miles yet look at the condition


Rear main seal? Not so good... hence we're replacing all of the cars we do these motors on (or indeed LWF's) with the 996GT3 one instead.


Over to the white one... out she comes too:


A pair of very expensive motors...


The higher mileage motor did have a lot of "dirt" and other fun stuff to clean off (along with the harnesses and other parts):



Out come the cams...


Not bad for 37K? Actually pretty darn clean/amazing...


Those Ti rods are soooo light:



Fast fwd many steps And in go the EVOMS head studs...


Ze liners...


The white one is also getting the TechArt noselift kit installed (just like on kermit):


for the rear...


Ze front...
