Performed · outcome unconfirmed
Here we have two engine dynes and a chassis dyno, engine dynes are generally only used for R&D where we want to reduce variables as much as possible.

Suggestion
To set the engine up in the test cell takes 1.5 days longer than it does to install it into a car, so its not uncommon for an engine to reside on the R&D dyno for 3-4 months at a time while we carry out development.
Leading evidence: 'Use r&d where we want' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Set engine up in the' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.

Suggestion
I have been to Porsche Motorsports & watched them dyno test GT3 engines, but they had zero interest in adapting the dyno for M96/7 engine testing or talking about them for that matter.

Suggestion
NO, this dyno chart shows the results of a chassis dyno test of a Duplicate engine installed in a Boxster which has more restrictive DME tuning,exhaust, intake manifold & aircleaner housing than a 996.
These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Anyone have any suggestions for a 3.4 engine for my 996. I just blew mine up at Watkins Glen this weekend. Looking for a quality rebuilt. Or I may just part out the rest of the car.
Any help would be appreciated.
NO, this dyno chart shows the results of a chassis dyno test of a Duplicate engine installed in a Boxster which has more restrictive DME tuning,exhaust, intake manifold & aircleaner housing than a 996. To compensate for horsepower loss thru drivetrain to rear wheels add approx. 15% + 10% if installed in 996 chassis. Engine output is simular to a oem 996 3.6
I don't know of anyone that can dyno a M96/7 Porsche engine out of the car.
I have been to Porsche Motorsports & watched them dyno test GT3 engines, but they had zero interest in adapting the dyno for M96/7 engine testing or talking about them for that matter.
I'm going through the same process right now, and selected a builder by recommendation/reputation.
Have you diagnosed your motor? Are the crank and case (core) in good shape? Do you have a budget? Are you pressed for time?
Sorry Jake I should have known better! but you are usually quoting chassis dyno spec's & I was 20 min. late to class the 1st day & missed your shop tour.
Yep, you were late and missed a lot!
I quote chassis dyno numbers as thats the comparative with what everyone else states in reference to these engines. Here we have two engine dynes and a chassis dyno, engine dynes are generally only used for R&D where we want to reduce variables as much as possible.
