I even checked the odometer on the highway markers to see if it was accurate.

I plan to have the installers do the filter each year with the belt change unless I get brave and try it myself.

Finally posted pics of the car, but had to use another webb site because the pictures were too big to fit (1.64mb).

The event is not a PCA DE but the Rocky Mountain Gathering of 3000gt vr4 and Stealth owners and my son signed me up for the event, including use of the 1/4 mile track and road coarse.

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.

Finally posted pics of the car, but had to use another webb site because the pictures were too big to fit (1.64mb). This is my first attempt to post pictures and I must say it wasn't easy. My son did all the work. SC is still running strong and the increase in milage is still amazing considering the right foot is so much heavier.
Just click on the link.

People on the most part won't go to great efforts to see your pics otherwise.

that's a sweet car will.
one thing i'm wondering: where's the source of outside air for the engine now? is there a new air box in one of the fenders or something?
The cylindrical air filter is far up in the right fender well, and will be very hard to get to for changing. I plan to have the installers do the filter each year with the belt change unless I get brave and try it myself. Will
If you don't mind my asking who did your install and how much did they charge? I've received a couple of quotes to SC my C4S and want to compare.
Thanks!
I had the install at Auto Sport Werks in Broomfield Co near Denver and they kept the cost to 1500 as we agreed but I dont think they would do the same for another C4S. They had to do several modifications to the kit. Talk to Doug. As for the filter location, Im afraid I would need a fiber optic camera to show you a picture, that is how far up into the right fender well it is located. As I said it is going to be a challenge to change it and the belt in a year but as anything else, it just takes time and expertise. The car continues to amaze me, and with our lousy 91 pump gas I got 37mpg at 80 mph on the highway yesterday and coming back with the air on 34mpg. I even checked the odometer on the highway markers to see if it was accurate. Todd should market this SC with Ralph Naders indorsement. Will
i plan to dyno the car with the first belt change and air cleaner but that is a way off. Porsche recommends removal of the front drive shaft for AWD cars which is a hassel and costs 95 more for the dyno. I am going to a DE with quater mile times June 19 in Co Springs but I will try to get GT pro times before then and post results. The CEL is off now and it is running great. Todd said he did another 02 C4S this week and I forgot to ask him if he did a dyno. Maybe he will post it. Will
What DE are you going to in Colo Springs. I don't see this on PCA RMR schedule. Is this a open car DE. I've been to 3 DE's now. I was just at the last one this weekend in La Junta. What a great time. It's to bad most Porsche owners just wax their cars and want to look cool. They have no idea what their Porsche can do unitl they're on a track. I have never met a better bunch of people then Porsche owners at a DE. The instructors are all wonderful and everyone keeps their egos in place. I'm always amazed at all the GT2's, GT3's, Cup cars and every 911, 968, 993, 996, TT's, modified and stock that you see. At DE's, you'll find out quick, how good a driver you are.

37 and 34 MPG? are you kidding me? holy cow! that just doesn't sound possible! maybe the trip computer isn't working correctly now that the S/C is on the car? i wouldn't think this would affect it, but i just can't imagine that you would see a 10 MPG increase after adding a S/C. i would assume that you would get slightly worse mileage due to the added load on the engine from the S/C belt and the need for more fuel now that you have more air going into the engine. i just doesn't sound right... <scratching head>
thanks for the answer about the filter pic.
It could be that the increased density of the intake air has the net effect of giving a leaner mixture. If that is the case then things might be getting a little warm under the plugs. It has always been my impression that the P engines are mapped with a liberal supply of fuel, although they meet lean burn emmissions, so hmmmm??
We need experts for this one.

The event is not a PCA DE but the Rocky Mountain Gathering of 3000gt vr4 and Stealth owners and my son signed me up for the event, including use of the 1/4 mile track and road coarse. There will be many other cars there including Porsche, Ferrari, BMW, etc. We are taking the 3000gt, Porsche and M5. I assume it will be the Pikes Peak track. Will
