Anyone here done a 3.8L conversion, or perhaps thrown in a TT engine in a GT3?

There have been some 3.8's. Putting a turbo motor in a GT3 is just plain silly. Get a GT2 if you want turbo, imo...

Rassel

Anyone can guide me to someone who did a 3.8?
996TT engine are quite cheap... That's why.

I did consider a 3.8 conversion using Cargraphic parts.The bill for it was fairly scary.

Manthey Racing has about half a dozen 3.9 litre, 450 HP cars running right now. The conversion is bullit proof reliable and can be done fairly quickly since EVERYTHING is done in-house.

Manthey do their stuff inhouse as far as I know, and I do believe the Cargraphics solution is actually RS-Tuning (as usual) who did it, and it should give 440hp. Is there anyone here on the forums who have done the conversion?

ALDOGT3

I did it, PSI 3.8 GT3 MK1 with 450 ps

Is anybody doing any race work on the m96 platform yet?

fahren affair

wow - 202 mph

do you have any 0-200 kph times or acceleration numbers for pre and post engine conversion?

ALDOGT3

no, I don't
i think it is something about 13-14 sec

I don't have the 3.8...but I sure would love to have my digital speedo back under the tach again. Whichever engineer that moved the thing under the analog gauge should've been fired immediately for just suggesting something that stupid.

TT Surgeon

Agree 100% Holger!

MJSpeed

I couldn't agree more, instead of looking in one place for both, you have to look in two different places...

Yep i missed the digital speedo at center. Well holger you don't need to look at tach to upshift your bypass pipes give you alot of tach feedaback : ). Just look at speedo from now on : ). Regards. Mike

The replacement of the Odo, under the tach sounds like a MDS job to me. Mike if you read this, please try to fix this.
