The GT series and TT use a dry sump and don't have the removable sump pan on the bottom.

I suppose you can get a "euro spec" engine, but use the engine/chassis computer from a U.S.
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.

Whats up guys? Been outa the game for a minute, but im back, just bought (a car that i actually built for my accountant) a 03 C4S, but you guys know me, its worked to hell, has a brand new euro spec GT3 engine w/ fabspeed headers, exhuast, programable ecu and a cold air kit, she nasty as hell, it aint a 934 but she holds her own, heres a few pics
I need you guys to help me, i wanna put a nasty huge wing on her, but there are so many i cant make up my mind, please feel free to post pics of any ideas, thanks guys ttyl
C4S with GT# motor.... and you didnt post pics of the motor
I had a wing for ya
I want some sound clips too ------ welcome (back) beautiful car!
Love natural brown - int pics?
Please pardon my ignorance guys, but is it the GT3 motors or the turbo motors that are of a different design and do not have the IMS issues. Please forgive me as I'm not trying to hijack the thread, just interested in the knowledge. Thanks.
Both the twin turbo and the GT3 (in addition to the GT2) are derived from the GT1 block (in addition to the 964 and the 993s), and have a different chain arrangement with a different bearing that is not commonly known to fail, though the 996 Carrera has proven very reliable from my experience.
Anyway, the GT3 engine would be quite the amount of work to swap into a Carrera 4 chassis, doubly so from a year that was never sold in the U.S. to pass OBD II inspections. I suppose you can get a "euro spec" engine, but use the engine/chassis computer from a U.S. market GT3, however you'd also need an entire cluster, not to mention synching them, etc. I don't see it being a cost effective set up. Mark me up for one of those asking pictures of the engine... By the way, what's different about a "euro spec" engine, to my knowledge the mechanicals are one and the same.
Whats up guys? As i stated in my 1st post the car was built for my accountant, guys got more cash than he can spend in 1 lifetime!! LOL No bull**** its a GT3 eurospec engine, the engine bolted right up as for any electricals and software that was done at Fabspeed in PA, i know this for a fact cars got over 10k in software to make it work, here a a few pics, when wifey wakes up i can make a sound clip.I did all the mechanical work, engine swap, clutch, trans, but as far as software, i dont have the correct diagnostic equipment to do that.
Are you really sure that It's a GT3 engine?
What GT3 engine euro specs do you mean? Mk1 (360 HP)? Mk2 (381 HP)?
What about the elctronics? you know... PSM.... and so on...
This is a 996 GT3 Mk1 engine:
you are wrong in the pic showed
That's an M96 motor case with a wet sump. The GT series and TT use a dry sump and don't have the removable sump pan on the bottom. The oil also drains from the oil tank that sits to the back right of the motor. Maybe you have a special modded M96???
Guys no bull****, when the car was owned by my accountant, he had the engine, and all ascossiated parts drop shipped to my shop, he said it was purchased as a GT3 engine making over 400 hp, ive yet to dyno it but i think im going to have to finda all wheel drive dyno, im not trying to blow wind up anybodys *** here. This is the FIRST water cooled porshe ive owned/built, honestly miss the hell out of my 934!!! is there any numbers i could give you guys off the engine and then we could find out what it is? thanks, Zefehaus? have a dyno? ive gotta know now!!
Notice that the GT3 dry sump engine is very different to what you showed.
The oil filter is upwards, and yours has the oil filter downwards
There are no resemblances between both engines
No Bull****????
You said that you built this engine...
Someone is wrong. Your accountant told you something very different to reality.
Perhaps he knows everything ion accounts, but nothing about GT3 engines.
Nice C4S - As Ahmet mentioned - it is a M96 motor. It is not a GT3 engine.
Not to be a jerk, but by insisting
"no bull**** its a GT3 eurospec engine"
and "
i know this for a fact that cars got over 10k in software"
and "
as far as software, i dont have the correct diagnostic equipment to do that
", it really just makes us doubt the story...
As stated, a GT3 engine does not have that squarish box part on the bottom - it just has a seam between the 2 case halves.
So, your car clearly doesn't have a GT3 engine, but, we're all sure it's very fast.
