Porsche 997 Turbo S Upgrades
Installed a bunch of upgrades on this 2010 Turbo S this week. mmmm shiny. Fabspeed X-pipe exhaust, headers, and intake. First thing we needed to get rid of though was the K40 Calibre laser shifter system. And install something that actually works 🙂 Funky angle, but the heads are mounted in the front grill. Important to get them level and even with each other. ECU was reflashed to EVOMS software for a nice bump in hp and tq. The old …

997TT Oil Change and Tires
Had this low mileage 997TT come in the other day for an oil change and a new set of tires. The rear tires were pretty well shot by 10k miles, so it was time to get some new rubber on the rims! Pretty basic oil change, nothing to see here 😉

Project 997TT Steering Wheel Completion
When we installed the 2010 GT3RS steering wheel in the project 997TT, we couldn’t get the horn working. I couldn’t even activate the horn via durametrics to test the horn, so we knew something was off. After a ton of research, we finally figured out that the electronic control module for the steering column also needed to be changed due to installing a later steering wheel in an earlier 997. Nobody had the answer, so it took awhile to figure …

997TT Oil Change, Brake Flush…and…..
Mobile service calls again. Had to get the car ready for MAM this Friday. Started by changing the oil….. Unfortunately, when I got underneath the car, this is what I found. Dried coolant everywhere. The culprit. A loose hose clamp under the intake manifold. It was so loose, that either it was not tightened from the factory, or someone else had been in the motor in the first 3k miles of it’s life. The hose is stuck between two pipes, …

997TT Complete…..for now.
Finished up our project 997TT kit. Last things to do was to button up the interior, install the brake pads, double and triple check everything, and give it a bath. We still have a set of moton’s to put on when we get them, as well as the stage 3 clutch when this one starts to slip. Old clutch will be good practice for heel/toeing. Off to MAM it goes…..,. Do orange and red clash? Pagid Orange pads in the …

997TT continued.
Over the last couple of days I have been plugging away on the car as I have had time. An hour here and hour there, and things are starting to come together. A pile of parts. New Denso double platinum plugs installed. Old plastic intake tubes need to come out. And are replaced with larger silicone tubes. Old intake plenum. Bigger intake plenum which will be coupled to a gt3 throttle body. I got the new turbos bolted on before …
