997 TURBO UPDATES!

[@jamesinger]

that's the best use of the sports chrono pod I have seen!! Nice work!!

[@RupertDaley1964]

Damn - Now that is what you call a garage 👍

[@NSXavier997]

@@RupertDaley1964 thank you! It’s an ongoing project that I have kind of not touched since last year… but I’ll eventually finish out the ceiling and trim it all out.

[@JF-vf6xp]

Really appreciate the step-by-step instructions - great job buddy. 👍

[@SF_Native]

That's a super dope 997 Turbo! Love all the mods you did bro. Crazy that you pulled the motor out yourself. Wish I knew how to do all that work!

[@jaimehurtado356]

Just found your channel, love the style of video very chill reminds me of myself when I work on my M3. Beautiful car and awesome garage. My F80 is right around 580whp 560tq that 500-600whp is awesome for a street car

[@NSXavier997]

@@jaimehurtado356 nice. Agree that anymore power on the street would just be unusable and unmanageable. Fun… but unnecessary. Stay tuned for more garage hangs videos coming up!

[@jchutch]

Thanks for the shoutout, congrats on 1k

[@NSXavier997]

Everybody hit this man up ^ for all your 996 997 turbo exhaust needs.

[@AnthonyBazilio-hc3dt]

Beautiful

[@dveraphoto7355]

Awesome video X and the exhaust sounds great. Can’t wait to hear it in person sometime.

[@NSXavier997]

Ayyyeee thanks man! I'm sure we'll be meeting up sometime this summer for car things bro.

[@MrJearley6]

Thank you for this video. This is your new subscriber on the West Coast Los Angeles, but I’m in Hawaii at the moment. Thank you for this video. Your 997 is nice I love those rims everything about that car. That is nice.🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽 we don’t have very many Porsches on the big island. There are some on the west side, but not very many but thank you for this video, and I definitely got to watch the rest of your other videos.

[@mh0072]

I’ve been following you and this build for a while now and I love these vids man. I know it’s your feorever car but if you ever wanna sell before I get my 997 Turbo, please find this comment 😂. Clean work and clean car!!

[@NSXavier997]

I appreciate it!! If that day that will never happen ever comes, I’ll remember this comment!

[@mh0072]

@@NSXavier997 hey man! was just watching your new vids and the recent vlog and came across this old comment of mine. A few months ago I picked up a 09 Turbo 6 speed with factory aero. Such amazing cars. Looking forward to building mine and yours will def serve as some inspiration. Keep up the videos 🙏🏼 -Mirz

[@rix911]

Nice I like the Schraeder valves on the boost leak test.

[@snolvr100]

Great followup vid X. I have basically the same exhaust minus the titanium part. Definitely drones but it’s the same compromise I’m willing to deal with for the right noises.

[@jeffgould5367]

X, Thanks for returning with your excellent 997 Turbo Content. I have a 2007, just dropping the engine this weekend(dreaded coolant leak, but made it 90K miles). Where do you remove/disconnect the transmission slave cylinder...last piece before my drop(I think). Again thanks for returning and showing off your skills and sweet ride!!!👍

[@NSXavier997]

Appreciate it man! You’ll need to disconnect the line that runs from the master cylinder to the slave cylinder. This will be a rubber hose joined by a brass coupler that connects to the main line mounted to the chassis & runs to the master cylinder. It is located at the rear most portion on the drivers side of the transmission tunnel. Either disconnect the brass fitting or disconnect the shark-bite fitting at the slave cylinder. I highly recommend swapping over to a GT2 slave cylinder that uses traditional hydraulic fluid.. as the factory assisted slave cylinder is prone to problems and leaks.

[@jeffgould5367]

@@NSXavier997 Thanks man!!!

[@997WeRKS.]

Another great video bud 🎉

[@joeracer302]

I recently did the 4y major service, including spark plugs, on my 991.2 Carrera T, and sometimes I think I hear a little more whoosh sound at certain rpm but not consistently, it helps to be driving next to a wall/fence to have the sound reflected back. The car seems to still drive fine and pull hard, but your video has me wondering if I missed a small leak in the piping when I put it all back together. I think I can do the pressure check without taking the whole bumper fascia off, butI think if I end up having to take it apart I’m going to replace the diverter valves, as I do have a Softronic tune (transformative), and maybe add an oil catch can to the intake piping. Always feel like if I’m taking it apart I might as well upgrade more potential failure points. Thanks for posting this video, it’s good content for those of us DIY’ing turbo Porsches.

[@articdc5]

Great job as usual X! I need a ride soon

[@LAIRDY67]

great content good luck mate

[@LT64444]

Real clean how you fit the greddy into sport chrono 👌

[@NSXavier997]

Thank you! The Greddy meter is such a simple mod, but is easily one of my favorites.

[@84jperez]

Awesome video and setup! Would love to see a vid on the garage setup and how you planned it all out.

[@DaveChichelnik]

Where did you get the Greddy boost gauge that fits in the sport chrono clock area? That’s slick!

[@cjsnylons]

Great updates. Would you let me know what model that lift is? TIA.

[@NSXavier997]

Thank you! it is the MAXJAX by BendPak

[@HOOKJUNKY]

Congratulations bro on the 1k mark 🎉

[@NSXavier997]

@HOOKJUNKY 🙏🏽 thank you brotha. Hope all is well with you man!!! Keep Livin that 🎣 life!!!!

[@Khan_Art_]

When you said/showed the lift was mobile you got my attention. I have questions (how thick does the slab have to be/cost/you need air?..), maybe I will run into you at cars and coffee. Also would love to see a video on the garage build. Congrats love car and garage build.

[@NSXavier997]

Thanks man I appreciate it! I'm sure we'll definitely see each other at Katie's or some car event sometime. Garage tour video in the works... just have to organize the mess of a toolbox.

[@Khan_Art_]

@@NSXavier997 No rush. The toolbox itself could be a video on it's own "Toolbox tour". I nerd out on that stuff.

[@alhuegayle7550]

Nice clean and detailed video. Keep them coming. Next time you pull the engine do an engine removal video.

[@NSXavier997]

Thank you! And absolutely. I’ve been thinking of doing an instructional engine removal video just for fun. Probably in the winter when the car has some down time.

[@alhuegayle7550]

@@NSXavier997 I'll be tuned in for sure because that's on my to do list. Maintenance and new clutch for the winter as well.

[@spyroz78]

hey buddy, what BBS wheels is that? and do you mind if I ask how much for the set and offset of the wheels? thank in advant! Great looking car!

[@NSXavier997]

BBS E88; $5,500 when I bought em (dunno how much they go for now). +50 & +42.

[@spyroz78]

are they 19 or 18"@@NSXavier997

[@deralddatcher4911]

Dope content.

[@NSXavier997]

Appreciate it!

[@tosinn364]

Where did you get that no date poster in your garage. Also love your video

[@NSXavier997]

Thank you! It’s a canvas print I have been meaning to frame. I found and purchased it on eBay.

[@orlandodeandrade9203]

Hey... Love the video... Do u use the stock throttle body with the current intercooler and Plenum setup

[@NSXavier997]

Currently using the factory turbo throttle body.

[@sutherlacd27]

Stock turbo throttle body is capable of making 1000hp

[@KevinPhelan-w7e]

great video.really enjoyed it where can i get one of these exhaust systems thank you . ps i am in the uk

[@beniscooked]

Why the resonator delete - just not loud enough with them? And did the anti-drone tubes just not do very much? I'm looking at picking up a decent used exhaust for my SY 997TT to pair with intercoolers and a Cobb tune but don't want it to be too loud or to drone... Already have that with my little 360HP E46 M3 which has no cats, UUC rasp-x midpipe and Gruppe M titanium exhaust -- loud AF and sounds good most of the time but it does drone... don't really want that for the Turbo.

[@NSXavier997]

Yes. I chose to delete the resonators and drone tubes because I wanted a really aggressive sounding exhaust for the car. The resonators really killed the sound and made the car sound very tame in my opinion. The exhaust that I took off in this video is for sale if you’re interested.

[@sutherlacd27]

If you get a 3", high flow cats, xpipe, resonators, and helmholtz tubes exhaust setup you won't have any drone

[@dr.maxpower8860]

Great work & very interesting video. Love the gauge inside. Your car is a dream. Do you have the original clutch (it’s a manual 6 speed?) on your car? All the best wishes from Switzerland 👍🏼

[@tomburns890]

Good videos. What is the best 13mm wrench to get the top cat bolts off when changing the exhaust out? a 13mm shorty ratchet or 13mm 45 wrench or what every the exact name of the wrench/ratchet is so I can get the right one? Thank you

[@NSXavier997]

Thanks! The best wrench to use to get those fasteners off would be a Snap-On combination wrench. Keep in mind though, the intercoolers must be removed prior to taking off the factory exhaust (or any catted exhaust system) as the upper fasteners cannot be turned outward using a wrench with the intercoolers in place.

[@joeracer302]

“Don’t want to go too crazy, just 600whp” 😂 yea, I mean, they can make more, but 600whp in something that can put that power down is insanely fast, that’s 9 second 1/4 mile power

[@sutherlacd27]

Low 10s.

[@tomburns890]

And another question, my 997.1 ‘07 turbo has 36k miles and never driven too hard or tracked. When should I replace the engine mounts?

[@NSXavier997]

I would replace them preventatively if they are original to the car. It’s tough to inspect them for sag with them installed in the car, and the only real way to do that is to remove them. But once they’re out… might as well replace them with new.

[@F1c6]

Hi, how much Boost are you running with your current set-up? Awesome car by the way!

[@NSXavier997]

Thank you! Currently tuned at 21psi of boost.

[@MR_equis]

Would love to have that exhaust on mine. Also, specs on the E88 and tires?

[@NSXavier997]

Thanks man. Hit up @JCHUTCH on Instagram. He builds them. More in & Specs on BBS E88 can be found on the video I posted last year about them.
