Suggestion
When you guys post up a dyno run, is that with all engine acc hooked up on the stand, or is that just the engine running on the test bed, or is it inferred from a rolling-road?
Leading evidence: 'Use development' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Run on 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.

Note how low we pull the engine during the test compared to everyone else, thats why.

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.

My 996 engine went South during track fun. After researching options and a phone conversation with Jake, I elected FSI to bring the car out of the graveyard. It has been an interesting/fun year. The car is being released as a healthy boy!
Thanks for the interest and comments!
In summary- Jake and FSI were fantastic and I feel fortunate they put their craftsmanship to work for me. I will try to post up further details.
I look forward to putting it back into its' natural habitat!!
Timing: It takes a long damn time. More than a year.
Costs: It costs a hell of a lot of money. More than most 996s are worth.
The whole Track Performer Plus combination. Internal, and external mods. Like everything we do, this combo is built by us, not bought.
Pete, This is my Generation 8, 4.0 that I was telling you about.
I'm happy every time I see one of these cars - frankly, I don't know if I have the heart to put that much money into ANY car, but I'm glad to see that other people do.
It has more in it.. This was on Break in oil, which is never good for power.
The rings are not even seated yet.
It also made this power with slicks and rear alignment settings that rob RWHP 5-8HP/ Tq generally.
The tests are also performed on 93 octane pump gas.
And the best part, we didn't even need to raise the rev limiter....
Jake and FSI built the 3.8l "performer" engine for my '02 996 Cab. One of the most noticeable changes you cannot see on a dyno graph -- which is just how smooth the motor is. The extra HP and torques are there, no doubt about it, but with zero drama.
Yep, I'll be hosting another Webinar for those interested in these engines on May 2, 2016 at 6 Pm Eastern time. Kaley tells me that we have 4 slots open during this Webinar.
No details are on my site, I can't post anything with details, else it gets stolen by copy cats.
So how is anyone suppose to buy this thing potentially if we have no details on it?
Is the webinar free?
This reminds me of Ferrari inviting members and picking them to be able to buy one of their cars.
Yes, its free. I started doing this a few months ago, and it works very well. In this format we can use the same style of information delivery that I do in my classes, and simply educate a group of potential buyers all at once. Otherwise I end up spending day after day sharing the same info with different people. This makes me spend un- necessary time in the office, and I hate that.
I have things to build. Like this 4.1L 964 based, beast that I just finished last week. I've been doing my best to spend my time in the shop, and let the dust settle in my office. I hate that place.
With the 9a2 engines and cars being delivered, I am about to have zero time as we rip apart brand new engines, and look for problems, and products to be manufactured.
With your car being a 2000 with a 3.4 based engine, you lack the proper core engine, and DME to connect the dots for an engine like this. It can be done, but you'll be down 15-20HP over these figures due to the compromises stemming from the mk1 engine.
Dr. Raby is slowly but steadily creeping his way up to my preferred engine replacement options once my current one gives up. #1 choice is still the GM LS376/480... but if I'm feeling Porsche-y when the time comes...
Many reasons, especially since the mk1 lack vario- cam plus with added valve lift. It also lacks large enough bowl areas for my performance valves to allow for more port volume without a loss of velocity, and mixture motion.
Bigger is seldom better, and larger engines are more difficult when it comes to efficiency.
I would rather have a well built, efficient medium displacement engine, as a huge mis configured beast.
It has taken us over 10 years to get the 4.0 to this point.
People want big, but few of them understand why. That's where I come in, and won't allow a buyer to make a poor decision.
No, the Webinar iOS only for those interested in buying Track Performer turn key engines.
What you need is part of our M96 High Performance online class, which has slots remaining. We had to reschedule this since my co- instructor was hospitalized with Pneumonia on the original date.
You are a wise man. As a recovering HP addict, I just needed to be reminded why I went for balance over power this time around. My C2 is the 6th quickest car I've owned but by far my favorite. Thanks Jake.
The ONLY way I judge my engine son the dyno is average HP and torque. These peak values mean zilch, zero, nothing to me. I can't grade myself on peak values, but most every other soul in the world looks straight at the peak values and nothing else.
When exporting the values and then averaging them, thats when the engine really shines, as it takes 100% of the RPOM range into account. Note how low we pull the engine during the test compared to everyone else, thats why. Sometimes I will pull at WOT from 1,000 RPM, and the engine will do this without a single hiccup.
It landed back in my grubbly lil paws yesterday!! It sounds great and I look forward to putting it through its' paces!!
Thank you Jake Raby and crew!!!
Thanks Duncan!- It has some needed cleanup work with the wiring/fuses under the dash and switch work (mainly cosmetics). That is next up on the project list.

man, I wish I had the funds and a donor engine.
:-(((((((
looks great and seriously, I am thinking I just need to come to the realization that it's the only route to take.
501 Max was great to work with... He's just a great guy!
For years I had people asking for decals, hats and crap like that. My response was always "what, a 400HP engine with my name on it isn't enough?" I kind of believe that all that image stuff is for the guys that want to impress the other guy, and not please themselves.
Anyway, that started me on a quest to find something that would be one of a kind for engine owners, and then I the idea of these 19X24" wall plaques. What gave me the idea was ordering a plaque similar to this for my IMS Solution Patent.
Anyway, there's only one way to get this, and we can do them for any past (original) purchaser too, for a fair cost. I retain dyno plots and basic specs, so I can easily do these.
These plaques will be rolled into all Track Performer and Track Performer Plus engine costs for projects executed after June 1, 2016. Street Performer engines will have these offered as an option.
They are available in etched aluminum (like 501 Max's) as well as backlit acrylic, and even wood.
BUT, what matters most is the damn engine.. We promise to never lose focus on the engine, and the smile on the face of its owner, thats what we care about!
When you guys post up a dyno run, is that with all engine acc hooked up on the stand, or is that just the engine running on the test bed, or is it inferred from a rolling-road?
I only use my engine dyno cells (2) for engines that are being used for development. Things like new combos, cams, head work and etc are compared here with no vehicle as a variable. This is a lab setting.
The results that customers see are from my dynojet chassis dyno. This is real power as measured at the drive wheels. This does not take into consideration the power losses from drive axles, brakes, transaxle and etc.
The differences between my engine dyno numbers gathered at the flywheel,(like the factory Porsche ratings) and the power at the wheels is roughly 18-22% for a C2. This puts 501Max just over 400HP/ 100HP per liter from a 996.2 base engine if corrected to flywheel HP.
But the torque.... That's what matters.. That's what he paid for.
