I love it but they are using 10w-40 so this thing is toast anyway.

Coverage and how to read this overview
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.

Why was the decision made to go from the 930 powerplant (dry-sumped, Metzger based, already proven to be a solid platform for ~600hp+), and put in an M96?
Thank you, very much.
Yes, sir. The IMS bearing and cylinder sleeves (weak points of the M96 engine) were addressed.
Great question. I am a huge fan of the classic bodied 911, and also an advocate of the latest technology. The M96 head ports are fantastic in flow and design configuration, and lend themselves to excellent power opportunities, even at low boost levels. The combustion chamber is appealing in its pent roof design, and the simple variocam system allows for a torque broadened powerband.
It was my goal to merge the old with the new: fully built M96 engine, with a 997 gearbox, full drive by wire, CAN-BUS protocol and an air cooled chassis. The car dries beautifully, on and off the track, and is one of my most gratifying projects to date. I hope that helps. Thanks.
LOL. Far from it, with over 12,000 hard miles on the powerplant. The lubricant compound I use is derived from the aerospace industry, and has presented amazing protection even at the viscosity level I used. No need for me to go to a 20w50 with associated parasitic losses. Thanks.
Doug, kindly write to me at

for details. Thanks.
Thank you for the kind words everyone, I will have to dig up a dyno chart to share. However, here is a video of the dyno tune at lower boost levels. This full throttle sweep produced 648whp and 461ft/lbs!

I've followed this car in many articles so far. Congrats on the beast and not taking the easy way with a factory turbo motor. Glad you are getting some good recognition.
Thank you! Much effort went into this project and the Bisimoto team is very proud of the final outcome!
Thank you Jesse, I will pass on the supportive words to Bisi!
