Just rolled into the driveway from a 70 mile trip back from McMark's Original Customs Shop in Napa... Wow. I left Mark's shop at about 4:30pm so I knew I was going to get some traffic. But magically, it was sporadic and I just cruised. This motor just never ceases to amaze me. 5th gear passes are no problem. The power is everywhere. Not peaky at all. just pulls from the bottom to the top. I love this motor!!!
I think my motor is a similar combo to Dave Hunt. He has Nickies which are actually good for a little power in addition to better cooling. I will be working out some details over the winter which will be small stuff at best. Possibly an external oil cooler. Though, I have to tell you guys this again, this motor runs cooler than my stock 2.0 liter. I strongly recommend the 2270 Raby kit. Build it yourself or have Mark do it. He has a couple of them under his belt now. This is the motor VW-Porsche should have used. |

Thats rad Jake, keep up the good work! Thanks.... We'll be applying a couple of years worth of developments in 2008-2009 and going on to the Boxster and 997 for the next development platform.. We'll see if we can't "un bastardize" the Boxster engine like the TIV :-) |

Yep, I still hate them more than ever... In business we have to do things that we don't like to remain successful. Thats the ONLY reason I am doing this development. It'll provide even more capital for aircooled expansion and further exploration. I spend more on development than most people take home every year and with today's economy that can't keep up unless we venture into enexplored territory. We are busier with TIV stuff than ever, but it's time to work with something that can take up two more decades ahead.. Nothing with TIVs will slow down, we'll just be applying what we have learned in the past two years to the program in a "non experimental" fashion. Yep, I still hate radiators as much as ever, give me a few weeks and I'll probably hate them even more. I boight a 98 Boxster for a test car, but I'd rather drive the Bus, Pinz or 912... |
