    I'm with tomnash on this one. I've never experienced Little t's problem, and I always apply the brake before blipping the throttle. I think Little t is attempting a "trailing brake" maneuver. Perhaps the throttle cut-off happens when the throttle is applied BEFORE the brake. I've never done it before, so maybe I might try it tomorrow and see if I get the same result on my '05 C2S coupe. Is the clutch disengaged when you are heel toeing?

    The manufactures think we need computers too help us drive oir cars at SPEED! What is Next! If you apply the brakes while the throttle is depressed, you will be able to brake as when doing heel and toe. If you try to brake first and then give throttle, you'll find the engine cutting out regardless of wether or not PSM is on or off. It's annoying but unavoidable. The only way for you to brake while giving gas is to be on the gas first and then brake.

    I have headers with 2.25 stainless tubing hiflow cats plus a fee flow muffler. I ran with a straight outlets but had to modify them in order to stay under the required sound levels. I'll try and post a photo of the main section of my exhaust system.

    When you figure it out tell me as I have the same problem. I have replaced the stock airbox with a larger open type airbox that has 3.5 inch tubing to the intake. I had a custon K&N filter made to flow the maximum amount of air. I cut the vent cover so that all lovers are open but part of the side cover is over the intake inlet tube (for lack of a better word). I was wondering if you have a photo of the Koklen scoop? I also have a Dynolicious set up in my I phaone that shows that my 60 foot times are 2.43 sec with 330 foot times 6.27 sec and 1/8 mile at 9.44 sec at 79.2 mph pulling 1.13 g's. Times for a 2000 3.4 ltr 911 are 60 foot .963 sec 330 foot 5.243 times 1/8 mile 8.018 sec at 89.98 mph. It also seems that short shifting produces faster times. catman

    Sorry 2.7 986 It was runnning when taken out of vehicle last winter. I used all the parts on a 3.4 that is why it's striped to basic engine with heads and complete assembled block.

    Loren Installing the Oil Pump with Coolant guide housing: If I read the manual correctly it states for assembly instructions follow Group 17 page 17 – 5. Looking at 17 – 5, through 17 - 8. There is no specific instructions. My problem is that the intermediate shaft is not centered so the housing will not just slip on the engine case. The front pulley was at OT 1 I am not sure if the engine has been turned over. I tried to turn the motor over but I hit resistance so I placed it back to 0T 1. Is it possible that the cam timing has changed by slipping on the chain sprocket. Thanks Bill

    I would be interested in learning how a Durametric can be used to explore these areas? Any guidance would be helpful... Thanks

    Looking for the correct Part Number for a GT 3 front sway bar Rubber Mounts. These are the ones that keep the sway bar in position at the two mounting points. Thanks :renntech:

    I went with the Quaife unit. Yesterday at an autocross it seem to hook up well. I am still able to break both rear tires loose on really sharp turns. I think guards units are only available with six speed tranny's?

    Do you really think Porsche will be cheaper? I have spent at least $1000 this year there! Actually YES! (how crazy is that right!) Have you ever priced parts from Sunset? If not do yourself a favor, Porsche parts are cheaper from the dealer then china parts are for any Ford from Autozone. I'll let you know tafter this weekend as I have just put in a Quaife unit.

    Todd How do I go about get the Fuel trim values? Bill Bill, they are the FRA and TRA values that you can monitor with your Durametric. Thanks Great I will let you know! -Todd

    Todd I am running 3.5 inch tubing from the air filter to the TB. The MAF is located in a 3.5 inch metal tube that comes off the rear of the air box.

    If it had a vacuum leak, I think it would be running lean, but the sooty exhaust would make me think it is running rich. Do you get an codes for 02 sensors? Do you still have the cats on the exhaust? It idles around 750 RPM I have had a few codes P1275 and P1276. I have HiFlow Cats with the O2 sensors on each side of the cats on both exhaust pipes.

    I went from an E-Gas Boxster to a non E-Gas carrera engine but purchased an E-Gas intake manifold and throttle body so I could use the Boxster Throttle Pedal . I do have a Cold Air Box system with Headers and a free flow exhaust... Todd did my DME Catman PS In addition I use the fuel lines from the Boxster with the injectors from the Carrera

    Loren I have placed a 3.4 carrera engine in a Boxster. It generally runs well except that I have noticed that its is running richer than normal. The exhaust pipes are black rather than grey. How is the fuel air mixture controlled? Can it be adjusted? How can this be acomplished? Thanks Catmanluge :renntech:

    Make sure the pads backing plates are not hitting the disk where is sticks out toward the wheel. Some pads holes make the pade sit lower in the caliper.....

    I have a 2000 Standard Boxster which now has S brake Brake Disks. The fronts were done after purchasing new front calipers from a used Carrera. Which are the same as an "S" but colored black not red. I put my stock front calipers on the rear with "S" disks. The main problem is with the Ebrake on the rear as the "S" has larger ebrake shoes. I replaced the shoes with "S" models but drilled a new hole where the center spring attaches to each shoe so that they match the drums shape. I left the hole in the backing plate in the same original place but drilled a new hole in the shoes as stated above this way I did not have to change to an "S" backing plate or to an "S" Hub carrier.
