Brett,
Good to see you on this forum.

 

Nice ride!

 

Nice slug. Beautiful 993!

 

sweet car

 

Beautiful car, I would love to hear it and see a video

 

Incredible how with a turbo that big, you don't feel lag

Great work there

 

What are of Ohio do you hail from? Im guessing the northeast?

 

Very beautiful car, that stand alone wiring looks like a huge amount of work.

 

Thanks again for all the kind words guys. I plan on making an entertaining vid with my buddies Duc 1098 when the weather gets better around here.

If you look at the dyno chart I posted, you can see it has a very linear power curve: https://teamspeed.com/forums/porsche...tml#post133767

So it's not so much of a lag-then-go type spoolup. It's more of a NA type powerband that just really pulls harder and harder as you rev higher. It was actually perfect for the road course when I had it out for a DE day.

This type of power curve is caused by a few things, including the specific turbo I picked along with the way the wastegate is plumbed. But mostly it is because this is still a high compression NA motor running low boost. So the off-to-on boost transition isn't as dramatic, and the car isn't sluggish at all without boost.

Thanks. It certainly takes a bit of work, and it's not for the inexperienced, but it really wasn't too bad. Since I built a jumper harness for it, I didn't have to spend hours cramped in the back seat trying to splice and solder wires. Rather, I built the entire jumper harness on a bench, and then just plugged it into the factory harness after mounting the AEM ECU. I don't mind doing wiring work anyway, it's much better then doing something like a clutch job anyday.
