[PhAtBoYMr2]

Kiss my culo...Toyota for life essay!

Hey ruiner, is it true you can drop the 996tt motors into a porsche boxsters? Im really thinking about picking up a regular boxster but there doesnt seem to be any turbo kits out and the only one i found is like $7,000+

Check out the 2006 911 website and the video about the variable geometry turbos.

That technology is sick.

Yes, you can, but remember that a 996TT engine will cost you about $35,000+ new and about $20-25k on the used market, easily.

[shortysm22]

I'll take a 993 please, RS clubsport version if avaliable :)

[ironchef]

Drove alongside a 996 turbo today on 400, guy was doing like 55 though, i was like ugh what a waste lol.

[Genya]

Non-Watercooled FTW! But they are all nice.

[man]

ahh... the story of my life, the 911 turbo. Can't wait till I own them all, and I can't wait to drive the 997.

[WINDSOR]

any specs on the cars from year to year? I kind of like the 70s/80s versions of those cars.

[NAIZBST]

nice

[trythefly]

cool post Ruiner

[speedminded]

I'll take a 993 please, RS clubsport version if avaliable :)damn straight :goodjob: 1997 993TT in artic silver for me please ...aircooled and pre-fugly boxster headlights (996).

The 930 is pretty sexy too :hump: Can't wait for my Porsche brake setup, been paying the custom fabricated kit off with labor, only a couple more weekends to go :D

[Big Baller]

I love aircooled motors, I love the round headlights. I think the last year of the aircooled motor was 1996 right.

[aaronfelipe]

They should start out with the oldest one. Neat!

I just love the 993s,what car is the brake going on to? the teg?

[speedminded]

I just love the 993s,what car is the brake going on to? the teg?yep, the teg...all the parts are in except the aluminum hats for the rotors (J3 Racing is supposed to be making them???), probably just going to use the 8 bolt hats from an AEM big brake kit i found and stick the AP racing rotors on them (the aem rotors suck).

Doing all steel braded lines, extended lugs, lightweight lugnuts, wheel spacers (5-10mm, whatever the thinnest i can go is), custom CNC'd aluminum conversion bracket, AP Racing rotors (currently 11.9" but attempting to space the conversion bracket and squeeze in 12.9"), aluminum hats, & can't forget the brembo monoblock calipers from the boxster

Yes, something good came from the boxster! ...brakes for even lighter cars :tongue:

[Ruiner]

speedminded, you are going to paint over the "Porsche" logo, yes? :)

my favorite porsche

[speedminded]

speedminded, you are going to paint over the "Porsche" logo, yes? :)lol, does it insult you that much? :tongue:

If i do anything i'll just stick them in a CNC machine and engrave my own logo on there....been thinking about it but don't have a clue what i would put? I like how Acura is engraved in the '05+ RL calipers.


^^^ That's my all-time favorite Porsche right there. Later, QD.which one? it's a .gif :tongue:

[ironchef]

The third and forth porsches in that gif, those are both 993s right? Or if not, which one is the 3rd one, cause im pretty sure the 4th one is a 993. And whats the numbers for the first two?

1st is a 997TT
2nd is a 996TT
3rd is a 993TT
4th is a 965T (964 turbo)
etc...

[quickdodge®]

which one? it's a .gif :tongue:

It wasn't when I made the post. Brandon changed it. Lolol. Later, QD.

[speedminded]

I think the order is 930, 911T, 964, 993, 996, 997.



It wasn't when I made the post. Brandon changed it. Lolol. Later, QD.It seems to pause sometimes...it was kinda stuck on one when i first looked at it.

[speedminded]

1st is a 997TT
2nd is a 996TT
3rd is a 993TT
4th is a 965T (964 turbo)
etc...ohh, so the 965 is the turbo II with the 3.6? (i think the rarest Porsche after 959, only 2k made) ...or does that include the 3.3 too?

[ironchef]

The 964 was a single turbo right? Which model was the one in the first bad boys that will smith drives?

[VUU]

The 964 was a single turbo right? Which model was the one in the first bad boys that will smith drives?

I think that was a 993 tt

[speedminded]

The 964 was a single turbo right? Which model was the one in the first bad boys that will smith drives?yeah, 993 was the first [standard production] twin...i think it was a Turbo S in Bad Boys (extra 24hp)...

[Ruiner]

ohh, so the 965 is the turbo II with the 3.6? (i think the rarest Porsche after 959, only 2k made) ...or does that include the 3.3 too?

Well, techinically a 964 turbo = 965

That includes all 964 years. When you turbo a 964, it becomes a 965, although many call it a 964T, still.

'91-'92 = 3.3L
'93+ = 3.6L

[Ruiner]

The 964 was a single turbo right? Which model was the one in the first bad boys that will smith drives?

965 (964 turbo, 3.6L - 1994 I think)

[Ruiner]

I think that was a 993 tt

3.6L 964 Turbo aka 965

[Ruiner]

yeah, 993 was the first [standard production] twin...i think it was a Turbo S in Bad Boys (extra 24hp)...

Bad Boys had a 1994 3.6L single 964 turbo (965/turbo 2 is the official name).


965/Turbo 2


The 911 Turbo also found a new home in the 964 model and is often known by its model number 965 and also as the Turbo 2 model. Unlike the Carrera models however the Turbo cars were only available in two wheel drive and two different engine sizes were available during its production run.

The 1991/92 Turbos used broadly the same 3.3 litre Turbocharged engine as on the previous model, although minor changes gave a useful power boost to 320bhp. In 1993 a 3.6 litre engine replaced the 3.3 and the power rose to 360bhp. The rarest and most powerful 965 Turbo, the racetrack ready 380bhp Turbo S of 1992 was based on the 3.3 engine and only produced in very limited numbers

964 production officially ended in late 1993 but production continued until 1994 for the US market

[speedminded]

Well, techinically a 964 turbo = 965 if I remember correctly. That includes all 964 years. When you turbo a 964, it becomes a 965, although many call it a 964T, still.there's two 964 turbos, when it was first introduced they only had the 3.3 engine available...then i think it was 2 years later they had a turbo 3.6 made, calling it the 964 turbo II.

I wasn't sure if they were calling the turbo II a 965 so you knew it was the 3.6L turbo and not the 3.3.

*edit*
ah, you just answered it :)

[man]

I want a 993TT so bad, although nothing compares to blasting down the florida backroads in a 996 gt3 cup car :).

They were still called the 965, however, even in the 3.3L if I remember correctly (which was '91-92).

[speedminded]

wtf, reading up on the 997TT...variable turbine geometry??? The guide vanes open up, that's impressive.

[ironchef]

Also, apparently the 6 speed tiptronic model will be faster than the manual, because it works with the variable turbos better.
