Size/Weight: m/25 kgs
Information:
The 9m Technic Supercharger conversion has to be the ultimate bolt-on power upgrade for the 964 & 993 3.6/3.8 engine. We think that it is totally unbeatable considering that the blower will sit discreetly under the original engine lid and runs the standard DME with the standard engine. No spoilers, no low compression pistons, no ecu chips required, just bolt-on and go.

Results:This conversion is all about torque. By using a low boost positive displacement blower to supplement the breathing capacity of the engine it provides optimum cylinder filling across the full rpm range, but without stressing the engine itself. When compared to the stock 3.6 which has a maximum torque of 230lbft, the blown engine produces 250lbft at just 2000rpm and over 300lbft at peak. Breathing at the top end also improves, so expect peak power to be increased to 330-340bhp. The 3.8RS engine equipped with the kit produces over 350bhp and 335lbft. The kit can also be adapted to suit the 3.2 engine, but this is not an easy conversion as it requires the manufacture of a custom intake stubs from the original Carrera manifold; the 3.0 & earlier engines would also require these parts and would also require engine management for the best results. It can be done, but the set up is not inexpensive, so please call for details if you are interested in one of these conversions.But be quick, they are going fast! Is there more?For the more adventurous customer who is looking for more, we can offer high boost, intercooled, low compression upgrades for 370bhp or simply add Motec engine management with a slightly higher boost for 355bhp as shown. However, it would then be up to you to have a supply of rear tyres available. The bottom lineThe complete kit with instructions is £4495+VAT. Installation is typically £800 although fitting the kit onto the 993 VR engine requires the use of the non-VR throttle body & intake boot at £260, and likewise the pre -91 964 engine requires the RS throttle body and intake at £352 for the pair.

You'll be wanting a fully adjustable Bilstein PSS9 coilover suspension kit too, and some turbo spec brakes to bring it all to a stop.

First you need to make sure the car is working as good as it's meant to be. Then make sure it handles well by updating the suspension, shock mounts, anti roll bars, bushings etc depending on how far you want to go to compromise ride and comfort.

As for power gain, exhaust alone won't give you anything other than noise. To start off with a LWF +/- solid engine mount will go a long way to make the engine feels more alive. Again, depends on how far you want to go, from simple rechipping to supercharging. Personally I'd go for the 9M head if money is no object, keeping it NA and plenty of ooomph.

Standard brakes on a 993 is plenty good enough, but if you want to track the daylights out of the car then brake cooling duct and the Big Reds could be a good way to go.

Just got to bear in mind that by the time you spent the money on all these mods, you'd probably spend more than the car's worth. Ok if you want to keep the car for a long time, but don't expect to get the money back come selling. You'd have one hell of a car though!

What do you mean by this Mick ?

Dan a LWF is a light weight flywheel.

It basically alows the engine to rev up much more freely, you REALLY notice it in the lower gears the more power you have to start with helps for example Virtual HP in a GT3 gained per gear 1 to 6= 31.4/11.1/6.5/4.7/3.8/3.2

So in 1st gear in a GT3 i gain 31.4hp 2nd 11.1 hp and so on..

Just to add this why i bang on about lightweight BBS wheels etc because of the big power gained from unsprung weight.

Yup, exactly that. If I was to keep my car, this would be my next job when the clutch is due for the next change. The engine revs up and down much more freely because it dosen't have to spin up a heavy lump of iron. Then again you don't have the momentum of the flywheel so engine will be more prone to stalling if you have clumsy feet. With the solid engine mount, the engine has less wobble and therefore "feels" more direct. Quite how much difference that can be felt I'm not sure, you'll certainly feel more noise and vibration in the cabin though.

Which brings back to the point, how far do you want to go with the mods, the more you push for the performance, the more creature comfort you'll lose.

Whats the Price of uprated Engine Mounts ?

Would think about the Flywheel, but she had a New Clutch about 6 months ago..

Not sure about the cost, I don't think it's much. Poon had it done to his 993 so he might chim in.

Power, a remap and a sport exhaust with a performance airbox are the only realistic options but would only gain up to 15-25 bhp tops, in view the engine is already maxmised

better to focus on handling to make more of the performance, a fresh set of tyres always works wonders and you could always go for Pirelli System Corsa's if you funds stretch assuming you mainly drive in the dry.... otherwise a new full and quality suspension set up - shocks-springs-roll bars-wishbones, etc etc would work wonders but with an RS set up (the critical part) would make all the difference...

not forgetting better brakes, although porsche oem are some of the best around, so a higher spec brake fluid will help and kevlar pads, but keep the porsche discs, but the option of Turbo brakes is there and aftermarket brake colling duct kits....

always better to mod in stages
