Evolution of my 996 Turbo
#79
Congrats Joe,
Now wonder my car has taken so long to do, yours has taken priority...naah J/K
My car is coming along just fine, Talked to Todd today and the numbers are looking really good, better than I had thought on pump gas, with a nice flat TQ curve.
EVOMS is doing some really fantastic work these days.
Can't wait to show folks my paultry numbers with my brand new set-up, in comparison to your beast. Good stuff,
Cheers,
Ben

Just wanted to give everyone an update on what is going on with this project.As some of you know already if you have read this thread we made 820 AWHP with the previous setup and we were tearing it down to install a custom grind set of intake and exhaust cams in an effort to make a little more power.As some of you guys already know modding is contagious,so while Evoms was developing the camshafts,Todd Zuccone and John Brey of Evoms went to work on develop a larger head stud to enable us to run more boost reliably.Now we were in for a lot more powerThese studs are the Holy Grail.After thorough testing (these studs were tested in just about every configuration and thread contour until the best combo was achieved)these studs have nearly double the clamping force of the stock studs.Just to give you guys an idea of the difference these studs have made, Evoms is able to now torque the heads to 80 lb ft as compared to 42-45 lb ft with the stock or A.R.P. studs with out any crankase distortion.This is serious.Anyone thinking of doing a motor build needs these.Evoms feels there will be no problem running 30lbs of boost or more reliably!It will probably see more in testing.Gone are the days of running 1.5 bar.
Some other additions below are the GT3RS crank and intermediate shaft along with the bigger rods.We did this because of where this car is headed power wise and rpm wise.In order to compliment the addition of the new camshafts operating range we felt that this was a must in order to sleep at night.8000+rpm here we come!Everything has been balanced, machined,and prepped.It is in the assembly phase and we should have some good dyno numbers for you guys next week at this time.
I would just like to publically thank Todd Z ,John Brey and all the Evoms guys for all the effort they have put into my car trying to make it the baddest 996 turbo on the planet.

very nice component and great project. It makes me wish I still had my 996 turbo. Maybe I should take joetwint's lead and see if evo wants to take on a 997 turbo project like this :-) Anyone know if this will work on the 997 and if evo has done this? Thanks for sharing.

Man Joe those new head studs are beefy! I want a set ASAP when I build my motor!!!
Can't wait to see what she makes! Hopefully you can make it to the mile in October because I want a ride in that beast!
