My CHEAP 997 Porsche 911 Turbo Gets An INSANE New Engine!

[@FrankParkin]

Stumbled upon this. Watched the whole series in a sitting.. And loved it. Great work and entertainment. Awesome stuff gents.

[@PhillipTieuChainz]

Next time use a ball joint separator with two arms on the rear toe rod. The lower arm holds the metal wheel carrier arm in place. sorry this advice didn't get to you sooner... This is Phillip the vehicle development director for Indecent 911. Love what you are doing keep it up!

[@gouldnj]

Loving this build. Fast Porsches are a blast. I’ve got a tuned Panamera ST about 700 WHP that that breaks a lot of hearts.

[@Qb17.]

If you are looking for new headlights go for the new 992 style headlights. Just got them on mine and they make the car look 10x better

[@nunyabusiness6400]

This build just keeps on giving! That engine set up is just psychotic! It goes with the color perfectly.

[@kickit59]

Wow that paint really pops! Back in the early 80's I had a Plum Crazy Challenger with the pistol grip shifter and console! It was one of the top 3 or 4 cars that I have ever owned! Outstanding color pick!

[@JayL781]

I use tire black magic on a lot of the black trim on my cars works really well on the intake scoops rather than using black magic or anything like that I'd get me a piece of carbon fiber and cut it to fit and glue it in so when you put the carbon fiber trim pieces on the whole thang matches

[@HacksawJimThuggin]

I've been rocking with FCP Euro for a few years. They always come in clutch!

[@LT64444]

That's funny. My car spent some time up in New England and has a whole range of parts. Protomotive twin disc, hks boost controller, ID1300x injectors. Never realized AIM must've put them on

[@joshbooth9772]

I can't say enough great things about FCP Euro - They are the best parts suppliers I've ever used. Awesome company!

[@BackRoadsAndTurbos]

The uprights are soft, and the thread the calibers bolt into strip really easily. Should definitely use a torque wrench there... But those studs are the solution, highly rate them.

[@sutherlacd27]

Absolutely need to use a torque wrench for the caliper bolts. You're right that they strip really easy.

[@BackRoadsAndTurbos]

Yeah I had to time sert 6 of mine over the course of a few years. Theory was that heat cycles from track days made them more fragile, so changed to the same studs, but one stripped when I was installing the bolt...

[@PaullieProductions]

This Porsche build is my favorite series on KZbin.

[@chesspiece81]

So excited to see this build progress. Have you thought about ditching the front diff and making it just a RWD since you have so much GT2 stuff on it now?

[@sutherlacd27]

To my knowledge it's not possible to do a full rwd conversion in the 997. The sensors will put the car in limp mode if it's pushed to the max in corners.

[@AcXr50]

I have & track mine. Not one issue.

[@sutherlacd27]

@@AcXr50 you've removed the driveshaft, front differential, and axles while pushing the car to the max limit where it's at the edge of losing traction without throwing it into limp mode?

[@AcXr50]

@@sutherlacd27 everything with exception of the hubs, I plan on going back/ front wheel has been airborne multiple times, slid the car a few times and no issues. I did have tc off the whole time tho. I did read on the forums that some people have that issue but I haven’t had it yet.

[@chesspiece81]

@Andrew Carpenter How much weight did it drop and did you do anything to the transmission were the driveshaft goes to the front end? With this kind of power would you? Is it easily reversible?

[@FrankO-Matic]

Damn straight on the FCP Euro parts! Their warranty is legit, and no hassles. They're all that I use for my Benz and Bimmer.

[@scraplifegarage]

Fingers crossed we don’t have to take advantage of that lifetime guarantee anytime soon but it sure is peace of mind!

[@FrankO-Matic]

@@scraplifegarage Not problem if you do. They also have lifetime warranty on oil change kits!!!

I’m new to this channel but I have to say I’m hooked on each Episode you up load. Well done from a not so sunny UK. 10/10

[@Chattanooga_Sparrow]

@scraplifegarage Make sure you replace the rear toe eccentric bolts with block-off plates (Tarret). It's 2-fold because the eccentric is known to migrate, so you want to prevent that, as well as only 1 point of adjustment for the rear toe. Also, make sure to double check the bump-steer spacers you have on there also! (when performing alignment)

[@LatheWerks]

It's equally important to use a wire brush and acetone to clean the chips out of a newly tapped hole as it is to tap the hole itself. One small chip can really jam up a bolt permanently, ESPECIALLY using Titanium screws.

[@scraplifegarage]

Love your knobs! I do need to get a nice assortment of brushes, I’ve been using compressed air and solvent

[@igorkarcz2174]

@@scraplifegarage my man, when is the new episode coming out?

[@fxvelavelgon8976]

Hi guys, I really enjoy your videos. I have only one question regarding your 911 Turbo build. Why you didn't get new forge pistons? You already got new forge rods. You're forgot to mention anything about the oil pump, specially after the milk shake situation. I know, that in order to save some CASH the engine builder said that there was no need to open the engine cranks, but if you're spending a big chunk of cash on the engine build and to be 100% sure that there are no more issues with anything else, I would rather have the cranks open, inspected and clean as well as the crank shaft and oil pump. Next year, I'll be doing something very similar to what you're doing but with a different platform and I feel your enthusiastic and very motivated behavior. There is no better feeling that that. I wish you and your team the best and I can't wait to see your 911 tearing those big Toyos 888. Take Care. Saludos from Puerto Rico.

[@greghilinski6571]

FCP Euro rocks. 15 miles from my house.

[@matthewfield7028]

Had to do a full caliper rebuild on my hellcat and fuck that, it's to time consuming and a pain in the ass with the 6 piston ones. Had to do a full caliper rebuild on my hellcat and fuck that, it's to time consuming and a pain in the ass with the 6 piston ones. I would go with the 2 piece rotor to be honest just for maintenance cost overall instead of carbon ceramics if you decide to go that route. Because the price difference is between $4,000 to $10,000 for a set of 4.

[@WayApp]

Incredible transformation!

[@jimhatfield5381]

-I love how you had this already fast engine and then made it like Arnold Schwarzenegger. Car foreplay words are: ported heads, cam, turbo kit, huge power curve, 1,000 h.p. at the TIRES! -IF your only carbon fiber is the mirrors I think it will make the car look..dorky... o.k. I just saw the c.b. air vents... and almost at the end of the video the hood. Everything is going well in happy town now. - While the underside is open how about some black goo for the finished look and rust protection. - And while you are at it how about getting the rust off the brake area. - Do you know there are those companies out there on the internet that have PORSCHE and BRAMO name decals you can put on the calipers BUT the Porsche ones are really hard to find because of infringement on property rights. One company cheats by spelling PORSCHE ..PORCHE or something like that. - White roll cage = no bueno and that goes for white brake calipers which will look Okey (think Oklahoma) "A garage without a Porsche is just a dark hole"- Walter Rohrl - Porsche Development O

[@zacharycates9977]

Great series! What was the black product you put in the air intake vents? I have the same issue with my 997 turbo, the faded plastic look.

[@geraldturner3935]

I’ve really enjoyed your Porsche 997 build. Even my wife who is not a car nut enjoyed them, especially your installation of the roll cage. Hilarious.

[@yannimel3864]

Yesss! I’m loving the progress of this 997 build!! Doing my own winter projects to mine and I NEED help.. can’t find Bilstein B16s anywhere!! Any suggestions??

[@sutherlacd27]

It looks like my previous comment got deleted. B16s have been backordered for over a year now. Takes months to get them. But occasionally rockauto will have them in stock. Have you checked there? My suggestion is to get them on order now. Do you need to replace your existing b4s or is it that you just want to upgrade? If you need to replace your existing b4s you could go with the b6s and some eibach springs until the b16s come in. Then sell the b6s and eibach springs to get some money back.

[@dcs-motorsport]

Good lord I love this build, and to think this man has probably close to or over $100k into this beast!

[@scraplifegarage]

It’s actually not that close to 100k. In the wrong direction though…

[@cheapme1850]

Next time some says a LS engine is ugly…show this Porsche engine. Also, do the mirrors in carbon fiber - they set off the roof and side vents.

[@KingJojoB]

I was excited for this 911 and what’s to come for the demon 🔥

[@atm4jim]

Looks like a Sachs 764 pressure plate, excellent PP, have it on my car but not sure if that will hold 1K HP?@? If so, probably at its limit. I think max rating on that pressure plate is 890NM/650 ft. lbs. of torque.

[@sutherlacd27]

The 764 is the sachs 2.5 correct? I doubt that it will hold 1000hp. Most ratings I've seen are closer to 800hp

[@terrybaptist795]

Just a suggestion you should talk to diy gang about rebuilding your dodge demon body shell. He is a expert at that because he completely rebuilt his dodge challenger Hell cat body shell and then did a the red eye widebody conversion on it.

[@jomaralberto9337]

What product did you use for the black trim?

[@BLAC_WORX]

why would you head the inner shaft/threads? that will just expand the inside metal and make it harder to get off. You should have concentrated all of the head on the outside part you are trying to remove.

[@matthewrowan6452]

Without those dampers your brakes will squeal like an NYC taxi. They are worth including and not hard to install.
