Daniel said:I hear Porsche have dropped the 3.6 Turbo engine from the 997 ??
The replacement is going to be the 3.8 engine out the GT3.. (with twin turbos :wink: )
Anyone heard about this ??
:dont know:
Is this the end of the 3.6 GT1 Block -
the current twin-turbo 3.6-litre engine has been ditched in favour of a blown version of the direct-injection 3.8-litre flat six from the Carrera S. The variable-vane twin turbochargers have been extensively revised to increase responsiveness, and the intercooler and fuel system have been uprated, giving a 20bhp power boost, to 493bhp
correct... :sad:nineoneone said:I believe that the 3.8 engine in the 997.2 GT3 is still the GT1 block - BUT I'm sure I read somewhere that the new Turbo is based on the 3.8 engine from the standard 997.2 i.e. not the GT1 block
The gt1 based engine was dropped due to costs,pdk would not attach to it,the mechanical noise was to loud for some countries(Enviroment/pollution law)
