Can a STOCK 996TT Motor Put Down 800-900RWHP?
#31
I think Chad was trying to show that Torque does bend Rods. I see them as being bent also.
#32
Looks like they are ALL bent. At what TQ level did this happen, on what dyno, and what kind of numbers were run at the time this happened?
#34
I think it's safe to say that Turbo Mike does not run that much boost 99% of the time.
These dyno numbers sell turbo kits, but in reality most of these cars are putting down 500-600 WHP in day to day use.
Ask anyone who has built cars exceeding 700 engine HP if they run THAT much boost all the time and if they consider their car to be reliable at these levels. Most will answer NO.
Not trolling or hating just stating facts.

Yes that's true for every car on this forum. We go to the dyno and see what we can put down. We go to Mexico Runs and see who we can beat. We go to drag races and see what time we get. We go to TX Mile and see what MPH we achieve. We go out to dinner and don't boost more than 0.2bar getting there. Turbos have a HP potential rating, we just wanna see someone close to using it all on a stock motor.

For prosperity......
They were not only bent but also twisted.

and there are of course a lot more variables that go into bending rods than peak tq numbers....
#39
Chad- what fuel was being used when this happened? What were the HP/Torque numbers on that engine at that time?
#40
800 rwhp is possible provided the tuning and fuel are spot on. it is going to take some ***** and $$$ to try for 900 rwhp. sledgehammer made 850 rwhp on stock internals but this was a 997 turbo. it would probably make 900 rwhp but there is no way i would run it at that power level all the time.

One cannot compete boost for boost against 997 tt... it is way more efficient...

I agree though that a 997 is cheaper to mod to decent hp levels compared to a 996....

I'd like to see someone spend the money and put a SPI 800 package on a 996...so far to my knowledge they are all on 997's. Tim replaces everything you mention above (of course leaves the heads stock), so hard to say how close the performance would be, but I bet it would be pretty close.

Yea, I hear about them too, but I'd like to see the same dyno/conditions, same tuning and parts....I've seen some hp differences too....but too many variables to draw real conclusions....
