Thinking of doing a 4.0L upgrade to the 3.8
Hey guys


I am thinking of doing a 4.0L upgrade from the standard 3.8L in the Carrera S.


Anyone done this before? I am aware I would need to replace the pistons and sleeves... anything else? Injectors maybe?

There are multiple threads on http://rennlist.com/forums/997-forum-113/ regarding scored pistons and cylinders. You should take a look at them. It is obviously a very expensive, tedious and long procedure and mostly reserved for people who have issues with their 997.1 engines.

This thread is probably one of the most interesting to read. Very instructive:
