If I believe what they tell me, it's really not that difficult.

I just wish Porsche would build a car that I like.
Jarod ....... you are killing me.

997 Turbo seems kind of pointless since you would end up building an engine/turbo/suspension setup which I would imagine would be very similiar to KA.
BUT, if you were looking for something to tinker with, how about a N/A project (Carerra GT).

...although Todd is looking into doing a twin turbo GT45 system for me in the spring...

The turbo's would be the easy part. You would need stronger cylinder walls and longer rods to eliminate stress to the cylinder walls. In addition different pistons which need to be stronger in addition to having a lower compression. Then, you need cams/tappets that are designed for a turbo (and have the same metal make up) in regards to lift and duration. A turbo can profile is much different thean a NA can profile. The ECU would have challenges, the fuel sytsem would need to be changed and the oil system modified.
This would cost more than the car.

Something isn't adding up.
A Porsche V-10 with it's displacement/head flow simply wouldn't need three bar. Heck, it would have 1200 hp at one bar if built properly. It seems the 45's would be overboosting well before three bar.

It seems the 45's would be overboosting well before three bar.You are correct in terms of around 1200hp at one bar....however you know my appetite for hp...the motor would be capable of 3bar....and given the CID of the engine....if you look at the compressor map of the the GT4508R's you will see that they are a perfect match for the V10!! The other thing to think about is NOS???
