We'll be tearing into engine next weekend so it would be good to toss around ideas and questions here. Engine had OEM 3.6TT pistons fitted but I'm afraid we'll find them toast once we lift of the heads.
This is a buildsheet before latest overhaul:
- 930 body, custom cage, custom front
- 935 uniball plates, Ohlins coilovers in the back
- 930 brakes, scoops in front
- 3.6 N/A engine, custom rods, 3.6TT pistons, hotter than GT EVO cams, twin Garret GT35BB's, big intercooler, twin throttle bodies, 996 GT3 oil pump, twin 930 scavenge pumps.
- G50/52 gearbox, custom PowerhausII gears and Quaife differential (clutch diff was tried but couldn't stand the torque).
This is being done right now:
- Big oil cooler + thermostat in front (car was running small OEM cooler + extra cooler in series and no termostat
)
- Rear wing moved back and up (to make it more efficient)
- front body completly redone to carbon-fibre 935-lookalike flip-front. 996 Xenon front lights to be used.
- Custom 993-looking rear skirt with 993 light-ramp.
- A version of BB2 venturi tunnel (that Jack Olsson experimented with) if we find place to fit it.
- Total overhaul of the engine to cure multiple problems (oil-pressure was never stable but climbed with revs, lot's of blow-by, various leaks, knocking noise etc.)
I'm looking forward some help from Pelicanites when it comes to engine. Right now, we are thinking about replacing OEM 3.6 N/A fan for 3.6TT straigh-bladed fan as it should flow more air. We are unsure if it fits though.
