great job, how many miles are opn this beast? seems like your doing a ton of preventative maintenance

 

just over 20k. but a lot of stuff i am doing is because the trans is out for the clutch and those parts are fairly inexpensiv. i am planning on keeping this car for a while - so no short cuts.

 

You will be really glad you got the turbo inlet piping! It really helps in the upper rpms and gives a better turbo whine too...
Looks like you are doing everything right!

 

I hope so - it made sense to do it at this time. Car is done, Im going to get it tonight

Picking up my car and dropping off my friends ESS VT-600 E92 M3 for Aquamist HFS-3 Install.

 

I smell a race. Enjoy it.

 

Hehe it's ben done already

I keep forgetting to put the videos up...

 

congrats looks good man how much did the inlet piping run ya?

 

thanks for your nice picture, really nice turbo

 

great work..since your next to my house feel free to swing by or let me know when you're there and I'll swing by

 

sick car man! i love 996tt's, me, you and blockhed she have a meet somtime. i dont think im to far from jersey

 

hey Adam - i was up there last night. picked up my car and dropped off my friends ESS M3. i'll be up that way late next weekm, you should def swing by the shop.

 

nice build

 

Drove the car the past couple days and I'm definetly excited about the mods.

First of all the inlet pipes are amazing, my K24s spool much much much faster and pull much harder up top. You can be at 3-3.5k in 3rd and when you floor the boost gauge instatly goes from 0.0 to 1.0 then to 1.2 bar. I had my WGs tightened before, but no I am gonna loosen them back up because I hit too much boost.

The ClutchMasters Stage 3 clutch and GT2 Master/Slave combo are stiff. Very stiff. I drove the E92 M3 up to the shop and getting into my car from the M3 was just...wow. Stiff pedal lol. The clutch grabs smooth, definetly OEM-like engagement just grippier. The engagement is always in the same spot, unlike OEM slave setup. So far I have not experienced any chatter, gladly I went with a new OEM flywheel.

Gbox detent really adds some flavor to the feel of the shifter. OEM 997 SSK + Gbox Detent feel like a completely different car then a 996tt. Detent makes the gates feel more defined/sharp.

Dropped my friends M3 off for Aquamist install...

 

Nice write up. Now as you go on you can really feel what you are getting from further engine mods.

 

Had the VBox out the other night and my trap speeds on 1/4 mile runs increased by ~4mph.
