Just seen on Instagram that ESMotor have just smashed another world record, this time for the fastest Porsche over a 1/4 mile recording a time of 7.95 seconds with their 997 Turbo! The first Porsche to crack sub 8 seconds!

I'm also told it does 100 - 200 kph in 2.1 secs!!!! Flippin insane!

These guys are unstoppable at the minute owning almost every record, so pleased for them :D
 
7.xx anything is fair motoring on, that's for sure. Congratulations to ES for cracking the 8 second mark.

Having been in a genuine 8 second car on the road before now, I can personally confirm that anything faster than that must feel barking mad to drive :thumb: :eek:
 
It all gets a bit pointless way before this stage imo. Sledgehammer straight line speed is for dragsters.
A 911 turbo has many more attributes other than monster take off rates.
That said, it's always good to test boundaries and know at what point your engine will melt :)
 
Wow. That is serious stuff indeed. Superb stuff. Congrats to ES Motors and their staff
 
That is an amazing feat! Ade is their tiptronic car? Being a 997.1 and can not be PDK so must be manual or tip....

Was a tip. Swapped out for a sequential

Ur next mod? :whistle:

Are you happy with how yours is running since VMAX? This is best time of year to use a turbo - hope yours isn't still sitting at FS.
 
Awesome Lads :worship:
 
Oh that makes a lot of sense! I think a sequential would be really hard to live with day to day.

No the car is back at home.... Engine however is still at FS in flat pack form :roll: Hopefully it will be back together soon in the new year.

I'm sorry to hear this mate. I think you've been extremely patient with FS. Not sure others would be as understanding as you have. I was considering contacting Matt on the back of your recommendation. Wouldn't go near them after your experience for a 996 turbo engine build - seems like inexperience I'm afraid to say. VMAX was back in Sept and 3/4 months ago? I can not believe your engines still in pieces? Not good enough :sad:
 
There is a good reason why it has sat in the state it is in which I can not go in to. It is not just a case of Matt choosing not to start it. However it should all be happening from now :thumbs:

The reason the car is home now is I have finally had the paintwork done so it is looking mint now. I'm going to sit it in the garage for next 4 weeks so the paint can harden ready for PPF to be applied. Then hopefully straight to FS for the engine to go back in. I would not be driving it this time of year any way, too much crud on the road, that and I would not want to get any stone chips before the PPF has been installed.

Desert Dragon, have you got yourself a 911 yet / decided on a route for tuning?
 
Donor cars very dear at the mo Tom and I'm in no rush have lots of other interesting cars to tinker with. Depends whether I manage to get an old clapped out 996 or 997 Turbo preferably with a blown engine and in terms of set up looking a new offerings from Garrett and Xona. Smaller but equally powerful turbos like Xona 3073 that hopefully work well on pump fuel without needing meth or race fuel my preference . Something similar to your 3076 set up with a bit less lag is the sweet spot for my use.

I think the mustard test for yours will be the next VMAX. If the engine or gearbox don't make it through running 0-300 in 23 secs it will just reinforce my view about giving it to someone like ES to build rather than different bits from different suppliers. I don't think there's anyone can touch ES' engine builds at the mo looking at the records they set with their demo mezger 997. I

The inrush of boost in my car was crazy and probably did not help the gearbox. If you want it for track use then yes I agree smaller less laggy turbos would be preferable. 9e have done a 996 build alongside FRP's. This one was more for road use so they went with the small Xona turbos I believe. The results were really good.
If you want one with a blown engine then it might be worth chatting with ES to see what they are doing with the 996 that went pop at vmax. Last time I was at FS it was sat outside still.... Looks like a decent car if I remember right, black, GT2 bits etc.
