HP Junkies: What's your dream turbo engine?

[WydRyd]

OK all you HP Junkies, at one point or another, you all would have wondered "What if I could start from scratch? What would I do differently?", right?

Well, here's your chance to share your thoughts and ideas of your dream high-po Turbo monster engine

Thinking out aloud, here's what I would do if I had the chance to do it all over again (maybe in a few more years when the C4S prices comes down):-

993 C4S
3.8L Turbo P&C's @ 8.0:1
GT2-EVO CAMs
Flame Ringed Cylinder -> Head sealing
Shorty TT headers
Twin T3/T04E Hybrid Turbochargers
Twin TiAL 40mm Wastegates w/1.3bar springs
Full length Intercooler
Motec/Autronic Engine Management System (Pressure Sensing)

Mmmm... should be good for ~850 streetable (& trackable) ponies

Hopefully this isn't just limited to aircooling but........... 997S motor to start with. Then some wild cams, arp everything and some pauter rods, 9:1 compression and 1.5 bar of boost (race fuel), single turbo with no muffler, just dump straight out, tial wastegate, latest motec engine management, and 8k rpm minimum redline (gt3 vario cam valve train).

Merv,

You're a psycho.

A guy I know, who is a Porsche Club of Victoria stalwart, used to have a 934. He had two spare engines for this beast, including a 935 mill, which he's still got.

He's selling the 935 engine, which has MFI and the biggest goddamn turbocharger you've ever seen! It's good for 620HP at 1.5bar.

He wants $115,000 AUD for this amazing engine …

Dream turbo engine.. (cue the clouds and ride of the valkyries)

BMW 1.4 litre turbo from Nelson Piquet's Brabham (up to 1400 hp)
Porsche 917/30 from the speed record car
Audi R8 bi-turbo V8 (that thing is a beast and runs forever)
Honda twin turbo from the McLaren car that Senna raced
935 3.2 tt
962 3.2 single turbo (andial built em)
pie in the sky ya think?

964 case and crank. 4 valve 959 water cooled heads, 3.8 p&c's about 8:1 CR, twin garret ceramic ball bearing turbos, short headers, Tial wastegates with solenoid control for continuously adjustable boost, Motec ECU and datalogger. Ti valves, springs and retainers, ceramic coated pistons with dry lube on skirts, knife edged crank yada yada yada.

Oh and two good sized intercoolers feeding into twin plenums with equal length runners.

Now where is my lotto ticket...

LOL @ Matt... well, as they say, once you get the BOOST/HP bug, you're a junky

That IS a serious engine man, but just look at the price! GULP! When I'm eventually finished with my existing 3.3L, EFI'd, Twin plugged, EVO CAM'd setup, I should be seeing that HP level at the rear wheels
