SQS sequential shifter system for the 996gt2 transaxle.
We will need to have a longer cable made for mid engine application.
Congrats on the progress and build. As to the sequential shifter, can you please elaborate on trans/ shifter ...factory is not sequential and to my knowledge, there's only one outfit in Europe that made a setup for the 996 trans that is sequential. Thanks

This SQS Sequential Shifter is an adapter kit to the factory 996 GT2 Transmission, meaning it keeps the clutch in between shifting, but instead of throwing the gear lever in an H - pattern, you're shifting back and forth for secure shifting, every time.

Here are some high - res photos of the Sequential Adapter, and a mock up of how it'll look in the car, eventually...

Cutting out the tunnel top is a great way for access to add needed controls and such. Are there any plans to fab a cover for the top or just leave it open ??? GR8 build so far !!!! Should be a hoot !!!!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

Wicked cool!

Seeing that tells me I definitely need to cut the top of my tunnel out too. There's a lot of room there to lay things out nicely if you have ready access to it. Adding in some braces every 10" or so should help make up for any lost rigidity. No?

Jack,Doug, sectional plates are being re-attached to the top of the front and rear tunnel areas.
These will be removable , so we can always go back in for running lines or other added cables+ circuits. The new plate that will be the foundation for the shifter is made from .250 cold roll metal plate, which will be welded in place.
If you don't have a way to put a top back onto your tunnel, I would not cut it off. It adds rigidity to the unibody.

Guys like that make it seem so easy. "Of course, don't all your welds automatically look like a perfect stack of nickels?"

Major league envy here...

Seam welding every part of the car:

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i771.photobucket.com-14843-1398567167.2.jpeg)

As you can see in the background in the car, every seam has been welded:
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i771.photobucket.com-14843-1398567167.3.jpeg)

Inner long / Cabin stiffening kit welded in:

Radiator came in:

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i771.photobucket.com-14843-1401645824.2.jpg)

Finally, after several weeks of welding, all the seams are now fully welded:

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i771.photobucket.com-14843-1401645824.3.jpg)

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i771.photobucket.com-14843-1401645824.4.jpg)

Here is the mock up of the strut bar braces that were welded in. And yes the wood is only a temporary holder for alignment. The actual strut bar that connects to these braces will be cnc'd from an aluminum block:

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i771.photobucket.com-14843-1401645824.5.jpg)

AND THE GRAND FINALLY!! WHAT YOU'VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR... (well at least 14 months for me):

The engine in its completion!

Quick specs:
2005 Cayenne Twin Turbo motor, bored out from 4.5 to 5.0 Litre.
All new / upgraded everything internally.
Wilson Intake Manifold (yes the same intake manifold used on the 2010 Winning 24 Hour of Daytona, Prototype Cayenne V8 N/A powered car!)

Hello fellow forum members, sorry for the temporary leave of absence on updates. There have been massive amounts of progress on the project vehicle, and we’d like to take a moment to share it with you.

Back in July of this year we flew out to Texas for a meat and greet with Ben Lozano, one of the great guys behind Lozano Brothers Porting, and no that is not a typo, there was a lot of meat in Texas. A LOT OF MEAT! First things first of course after a 5 hour flight is to eat like a local.

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i771.photobucket.com-14843-1416053214.1.jpg)
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i771.photobucket.com-14843-1416053214.2.jpg)
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i771.photobucket.com-14843-1416053214.3.jpg)

After the best BBQ I ever had in my life, we finally made it to Lozano Brothers Porting to view the engine in its final form.

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i771.photobucket.com-14843-1416053214.4.jpg)

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i771.photobucket.com-14843-1416053214.9.jpg)

While we were there, we were treated to some of their other projects that were around their place of business.
2 ready to race Cayenne V8 N/A Daytona Spec Engines:

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i771.photobucket.com-14843-1416053214.10.jpg)

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i771.photobucket.com-14843-1416053214.13.jpg)

And of course you don’t leave Lozano Brothers Porting w/o a quick history lesson from Ben Lozano himself.

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i771.photobucket.com-14843-1416053214.14.jpg)

Below is one of the most prestigious trophies in the history of motorsports, the Manufacturer’s Trophy. The story behind this one is as follows,
After the Action Express car won the 2010 24 Hours of Daytona, the award ceremony immediately commenced of course. When the presenter announced the award for the Manufacturer’s Trophy, Porsche Motorsport North America declined to accept the award, based on the facts that one, they did not supply the winning car’s power train, and two, Porsche (to this day) do not support or promote their V8 engines for racing purposes. So, who else was left to accept the trophy? None other than Ben Lozano himself of course! Not bad from a band of brothers from the Lone Start State.

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i771.photobucket.com-14843-1416053214.15.jpg)

…When in Rome.. or should I say The Americas!

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i771.photobucket.com-14843-1416053214.16.jpg)
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i771.photobucket.com-14843-1416053214.17.jpg)
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i771.photobucket.com-14843-1416053214.18.jpg)

Didn’t I say this was a meat & greet trip?

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i771.photobucket.com-14843-1416053214.19.jpg)

I don’t always believe what I’m told.

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i771.photobucket.com-14843-1416053214.20.jpg)
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i771.photobucket.com-14843-1416053214.21.jpg)

After leaving Texas, it was time to get back to work. Here we cut out some of the metal in the body to feed the radiator lines through the front into the inner longs and out the rear into the engine compartment.

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i771.photobucket.com-14843-1416053214.22.jpg)
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i771.photobucket.com-14843-1416053214.23.jpg)

Removing all of the caulking in the vehicle. At least 8 – 10lbs of caulking removed in total.

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i771.photobucket.com-14843-1416053215.24.jpg)

Oil Cooler mock – up: There will be 2, one on each side.

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i771.photobucket.com-14843-1416053215.25.jpg)
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i771.photobucket.com-14843-1416053215.26.jpg)

Once the engine arrived back at our headquarters in California, we immediately shipped it to our long time associates over at AASCO Motorsports for the necessary mating hardware.

Tilton Triple Carbon / Carbon Clutch:

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i771.photobucket.com-14843-1416053215.27.jpg)

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i771.photobucket.com-14843-1416053215.29.jpg)

And the mating plate itself:

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i771.photobucket.com-14843-1416053215.30.jpg)

Just over an inch in width:

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i771.photobucket.com-14843-1416053215.31.jpg)

And Voila! A World’s first. Cayenne V8 TT mated to an inverted 996 GT2 Transaxle. A moment we’ve waited for, for so long, that we stayed way after closing time for the guys at AASCO. Sorry Vince, hope you can understand!

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i771.photobucket.com-14843-1416053215.32.jpg)

More cage work progress in the rear:

And a quick glimpse of the wiring progress so far. Who would've thought Mercedes Benz made parts for Porsche? Well, it wouldn't be the first time..

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i771.photobucket.com-14843-1416053216.40.jpg)
