With the first kit done and shown off as the best in force induction, we are already on number 2 here. This is a 2003 996 C4S. This is probably one of the cleanest 996 we have seen. With only 22,000 miles, the only power mod is the air intake. Here are the intro shots and stay tuned for the build up. We will be doing the baseline dyno today.

 

Just did the baseline on this car. Again 2003 C4S 6spd with only a air filter for the mods.

 

Nice Numbers for a stock car.

 

The numbers are not really important as the gains. So we know we have a baseline to compare to now

 

Yup, I'm looking forward to seeing the after numbers! Good luck.

 

Here is the yellow carbon kevlar box we are building

 

What this ?

 

Are you refering to the carbon/kevlar piece? This is what sits in the engine bay on top of the intercooler to direct airflow.

 

Here is a new shot of the carbon/kevlar box and intercooler installed. Yummmmm

 

this looks super nice, you will probably be getting a call come winter time.

 

Why wait

 

Cause i want to enjoy the car in the short summer I get up here in the Rockies

 

Now is the time to order

 

Elementary question, since I don't as yet own a 996 or other P-car. I had thought that the turbo motor was different than the NA 996 motor. Does the non-turbo short block & heads require any mods to handle the boost & extra power from the turbo transplant? I ask because I am flagging all sorts of threads for future reference. [mostly Vivid threads ] Thanks. Sorry for the "einsteiger" question.

 

the motors are different, but if you keep the boost low enough on the N/A motor you wont have problems. Hence the reason the boost is only 5.5lbs. With a more efficient turbo your able to get the same power as the turbo model with less boost, also due to stock compression numbers.

But nothing will need to be changed with the setup Vivid is running
