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.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

could someone please tell this dumb *** what a3.8RSR is and can it be put in a03 c4s? also there is a 03 tt motor for sale 22000.00. 11000.00 miles. I do not want to sell car, I love it. but I am an 61 year old speed FREAK. :I need some advise from this great group.THANK YOU ALL

POST 2Original post

3.8l RSR motor is not from the 996 generation of car and probably cannot be put in without a massive cost investment. RS, R, RSR engines are pure race engines (ITB's, motec management, very high redlines) that are designed for lemans and ***** out racing. recommended rebuild periods are somehting like every 40 hrs. Not really practical for the street unless you have deep pockets. i'm no expert and i'm sure others can advise you better. you have a C4S right? if you want more power talk to some tuners like EVOMS, vivid racing, akkurat and such who might be able 2 supercharge ur car. oh, and welcome 2 rennlist

POST 3Original post

Why not put a 996 Gt3 engine in it. I think the TT engine would be a ton of more work to do.

POST 4Original post

My two cents. If you feel that you really need to do anything to a 996, it would be wiser to install a supercharger or RUF turbo kit than trying to swap out the motor. However, with the expense involved, you should consider whether a different car altogether would make sense (ala a used 996tt).

POST 5Original post

I'd say if you got 10-12K to spend then supercharge it..... You said you wanted to keep the car right? This the way to keep it while giving it just as much if not more punch than the TT.... -Eli
