basically same weight as my car.

 

UPDATED

Well, I listed things (thanks to all of you) that I'm firstly gonna do :

RWD Conversion - 71 lbs
Battery - 25 - 30 lbs
GT3 Seats - 60 - 65 lbs
Spare Tire and stuff - 40 lbs
Rear Wiper - 4 lbs
Tilton LWFW And clutch - 35 lbs
Removal of rear seats and stuff - 22 lbs
Subwoofer Removal - 12 lbs
Clutch actuator - 50 lbs
Lightweight Wheels & Tyres - 20 lbs
Straight Pipes - 55 lbs
Front Bumper Supports - 20 lbs
Mechanism for the rear wing that goes up - 30 lbs
GT2 Carbon wing - 15 lbs

Around 430 - 445 lbs loss. That would be pretty close to 3000 lbs

After those, I'll be installing Gt2 carbon body kit parts, brakes, carbon hood, carbon fenders & quarter panels and carbon doors eventually..
Those should save me another 100 - 150 lbs I guess. Time will show

By the way, I've nowhere here to weigh the car, so I gotta ask, I've been reading different things about the stock 996tt weight, some says 3495 lbs, some 3380 some 3340. Which one is true ?

 

Too many people have ONLY lost 70lbs with RWD conversion. Scott must have gotten the special prototype Dif with lead guts!!! j/k Scott...

 

that or maybe your diff was made from cheap Chinese cast aluminum with many voids, hence why it broke

 

That's about my goal as well, but around 540 whp.


If by Scott you mean Divvextreme, I'm pretty sure he corrected that estimate. A regular RWD conversion is only 71 lbs or so. Unless you replace the rest of the diff with something different 120 lbs is impossible. Would be wonderful though!!!

 

Yes, he's the one. I'm sure I read about it yesterday I do not know if he corrected it or not. Maybe he can confirm on that topic

Thanks man

 

Piece o' cake, search is your friend, took me 45 seconds...

how much hp do you have now and what upgrades do you plan on to get there?

 

520 rwhp. I honestly need a back to back RWD AWD test to know the difference in hp. I do not think it will be more than 3-5% difference in whp, IF that much. I could need anywhere from 20-40 whp depending on the difference in hp. But RWD doesn't do it for me so I have to know what the comparable awhp will be. This will be used for competition classing.

On the low end, I think some custom tuning would get it done with some really good IC's, and a few other here and there mods. On the high end I'll have to go hybrid turbos though I really want to stay with K24's.

 

I see what you mean, going back to awd will bring you down to around 500 awhp with current setup. so you want to squeeze approx. 40 awhp more to get the same power as before but with awd. I assume you are trying to accomplish this on pump gas? (93?) definitely interested in what you plan on doing once you decide.

 

does anybody know how much would I save with carbon front fenders and rear quarter panels?

 

My guess... 20 lbs 30 lbs both front fenders. Rear quarters are an integral part of the body. Doable but very expensive to save another 30 to 50 lbs.

 

where do they sell them? I saw some on a gt3 from someone in the forum with holes like vents on the upper part that I havent been able to find where they sell them (front)
