Is My New To Me Porsche 911 Turbo a GT2 Clone?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 фев 2024
- I recently bought this 2001 Porsche 911 Turbo and the more I get deeper into this car the more it seems that the prior owner converted this into a GT2 Clone. The car came with a TON of goodies already installed onto it like a GT2 Bumper, GT2 Wing, GT3 Center console, Converted to RWD, and Tuned to 1.1 Bar. To me, it seems like it's been made into a clone. I'm curious to see what else we find the more we dig into this thing.

2 badass Subies, a RX7 and now a Porsche to the mix? The amount of jelly I feel right now
One day at a time my man ❤
4 berry jelly better be the flavor 😂
Basically all my dreams in one place
your collection right now is a literal dream
Still absolutely blows my mind to have them all, I need to finish the ongoing projects of the RX7 and the 07 STI though. With both of those cars still being a little clapped they need some more love 😅
He just needs to add a 300ZX TTand dream completed :D
I bet its surreal going outside and seeing a Porsche 911 in your driveway. This is sick bro
It still blows my mind, so much excitement every time I get to take it out. 🔥
Porsche tech here don’t fill the oil all the way up always leave the one last square blank for oil expansion went hot. They are very finicky went it becomes to oil level. There is a chance that because you have it all the way up it could start saying over fill even that is not over fill. According to the manufacturer manual if it is all the way up is over fill. Love that you got your self a great Porsche.
Will do! The few videos I watched told me to just make sure it’s between the two lines 😅 for the changes going forward I’ll leave one space. Appreciate the tip and always open to more 🫡🙌
You mean the manufacturer manuell?? 😆
Yes lol the manuell I always found that funny that says manuell lol
I will definitely will give some more tips and I follow the build. Excited for the build.
you know you've made it when you got a 911 sitting in your driveway. so happy for you man. i still remember the 2017 sti days, how far you've come!!!!!!
That STI will forever be around, absolutely blows my mind the see these things all together 😩 low key miss the old small garage days though
@@SmeediaWhat about the old car garage days makes you miss it I’m just asking… was it the space/environment, is it the feeling that you may have this expectation of providing content for Us and not Yourself, or possibly things was much simpler not as many cars to keep up with.. not trying to be weird just looking at if it was a mental adjustment that makes the Old days better and what keeps them from living on to this very day
@@ZzWeAreVenomzZthere’s nostalgia there for me, not knowing how to do anything and figuring things out and learning something is what I miss. That’s why I’m excited for something new again that I don’t already know how to do
@@Smeedia completely understandable I was just asking see if it was possible to change something to make it feel like the old days but how do you take away the knowing of what you do.. keep going my dude love the content no matter the car just the character you are 🙏🏼
I love how the RX7 just sounds so "demented" (in a good way) next to the other cars.. lol
It sounds like it just wants to gooooo 😅😂
Still makes me smile every time I see the LGT wagon in the drive! Hope Mattias is doing well!
He’s keeping busy 🥳🫡
This content is what I'm talking about. Stuff like how to properly do an oil change on a dry-sump Porsche is what I can count on you to do. More please! Demystifying these as an ownership proposition you're doing an excellent job.
Much much more to come 🥳🫡
It so good to see the fire back in you. What a difference!
Excited to get this stuff moving again 🎉
Whatever puts a smile on your face keep doing that forever. Go Smeedia go!!
🥳🫡🥳🫡 gotta do what makes us happy 🙌
Never been a huge Porsche fan but glad to see you fired up to work on something again! Some of the VB content seemed almost like a “chore”. Of course we all love any kind of content from you but the difference in attitude is way noticeable lol. Happy for you bro! Living your dream and a lot of other people’s too!
Thank you Corey 🙌 the VBs were fun but I never LOVED them like I do the cars we currently have 🫡 feels good to be jumping back into something exciting again
Yeah, the Porche really completes the fleet of cars. Power and variety 😊
Variety is always nice 🥳
Variety is the spice of life, as they say.
Look at that fleet. You're living the dream.
Just gotta finish the other two, the RX7 starts and kinda moves but that’s about it 😅 the 07 still needs a bit more love. But incredibly grateful to be able to have the cars I’ve always wanted.
Ahhh that’s why I didn’t see a dyno pull on on instagram I figured you were saving it on the for the video but I went over to the fim instagram and didn’t see it either 😂😂. Hyped to see where this goes congrats on the car man 🙌
Lmao we tried but with how short the car is we couldn’t get it properly set up on the dyno for it to work in AWD 😅
It’s going to be a blast when you get your first track day with it. That rear engine will be a huge change in the corners
I’ve been leaning into it a bit more on some back roads trying to get more concerts or with it. But I don’t dare send it yet 😂
Congrats on the car! 🙌🏽 Turbo vs x50/GT2 is bigger turbos (k24), beefier transmission, different oil pump. Enjoy! I have a White Turbo x50 and absolutely love it.
Thank you! They have different oil pumps between them? Learned something new 😅
i can not get enough of this car! love all your cars but the 911 is def my favorite.
It’s quickly becoming one of my favorites I’ve had 🔥
I just picked up a 2020 brz to go with my 04 STi and im loving it !
Eyyyy congrats dude! 🥳🥳🥳🥳
Hahahahaha I knew exactly what your were going to tell your friend about the oils change. “He’s gonna tell him how many drain plugs he has!” He did!!! 😂
Was not expecting 4 😂 was so confused when I got the oil change kit lmao
Congrats man, that car is awesome 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you 🥳🥳🥳
such a sick car. I feel like most subie bros I know dream of growing into a Porsche. Love it!~
I feel the same way, eventually I think a lot of us want to make the jump
ouuu I love the clarity of the mx. It seems harder to get eyes on the nitty gritty of a Porsche engine. MAYBE you can do the all wheel drive conversion! That might inspire me to want one lol. Its nice!
If I could find the parts for a decent price I’d consider it, but so far I’m not stressing it too much 😅
Ain't no thang. Switching cars like you're switching out sweaters/shirts throughout the day. Love it when you do that Tanner haha
Gotta keep things fresh 😅
Damn, every upload makes it sound like a better purchase as they come out.
🫡🫡🫡🫡
Hi yo tannn that car is wild , happy for you coffee man 🎉🎉
Thanks buddy 🎉😁
This thing rules! Been watching the channel for years!I could really use you advice/wisdom right now. My 05 sti just lost reverse gear and I’m weighing out all my options. Do you know if the newer transmissions are comparable with an 05 GD sti?
You’ll need a 05-07 trans if you swapped it. The speed sensor is on the transmission itself. We rebuilt my old 14 WRX trans (sti 6 speed swap) when I lost reverse. It is repairable 🫡
lucky bastard!!! you have good karma bro. its killer as long as it got 2 turbos and its a 911. match made in Porsche heaven. cheers
Thank you! Been having an absolute blast with it 🥳
I think you’re starting to shift to other platform cars but I’m glad that you’re fulfilling your car dreams. I’m excited to see you restoring the AWD function of that 996. Are you also planning to restore the center console?
I might if it gets annoying after a while 😅 tbh I’d really only swap it back to have OEM Cup holders again 😂😂
I guess repositioning the front wheel speed sensors to the rear or using the rear sensor signal output for the front as well might solve the rpm problem on the Dyno but idk if that would make the dynamic stability system or traction control act funky.
Understood the WRX content but when you’re chasing what you genuinely care about it comes across!
Welcome back!
Thank you 🥳 tbh feels good to be playing with something that excites me again 🥳
…that’s what she said!
@@thesavage4552💀😂💀😂
Your car collection is sweet.
Thank you 🥳🫡
i am excited to see more videos of the 911. its an epic car. are you planning on making it awd again?
I kinda like it being RWD, cars a little lighter, less drivetrain loss and feels a bit more “sporty”
i hope the issue with it not wanting to rev above 1500 rpm's is an easy fix
@@Smeedia
Much rather be seeing rotary content lol. Either way happy for you brother! My OCD wouldn't let me have so many unfinished projects lol
Rx7 im jumping in this week. Just got the last of the parts I needed from Japan 🙌
sick pc bro!
youre livin the dream, make that shit right!!👌👌
Thanks buddy 🥳🙌
Absolutely love the car. Definitely need to get my hands on a 911.
Random thought, could you piggyback the front wheel speed sensors off the rear for the dyno?
That’s not a bad idea if it’ll work, I’d have to make a custom harness to use but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work?
I'm pumped for this adventure
Going to be a fun one 🥳
@@Smeedia 😎😎
That car is really cool. It was interesting to see how to change oil. And checking the oil level in the dash was sick. The spark plugs look harder than a Subaru Lol.
I still find it odd how there is no actual dipstick and you have to use the dash. But it gets the job done 😅
Happy Weekend Chief 🫡
Awesome news - Your fleet is looking sweeeet.
Bad news - Saabaru has a bad ground somewhere 😕
What’s the issue it’s running into? 👀
@Smeedia After the turbo replacement. I'm certain a ground was not secured properly. There is a ticking noise coming from the dash on startup, as if the starter is still trying to turn over. Battery is drained atm, so it's disconnected until I figure out why.
She' a beauty! RWD is more fun. I bought some big TIG gas lenses for stainless off Am*zon (40$), makes a big difference in gas sheilding. welds came out much brighter and cleaner
That’s where I order mine 😅 tried a few different ones. I forgot the size off the top of my head but they made a HUGE Diffrence
My man's stable is full of thoroughbreds!!! You have a unique situation with the poorsch. It's not quite this, not quite that. Awesome, nonetheless. Need to find a way to trick the AWD system to neglect the front speed sensors for the dyno option, I suppose. Oh well, on to the next level!!!
We have another dyno lined up that the car can fit on a bit more comfortably so worse case we use another dyno 😅
Gonna miss seeing the VB but I understand the change and would’ve done the same. Excited to see what’s next for the 996.
I kinda miss the blue VB, but I’m happy with the change. Refreshing to get my hands on something different that’s out of the norm for me
You can unplug the PSM pump to completely disengage it.
The GT2 has a limited slip differential and the regular Turbo has an open differential, check if you have one.
If you have K24 turbos you can have larger compressor wheels installed that can get you much more boost for cheap, I have them and they rock. Get those if you are going to retune but you need fuel system mods to do so.
I’ll take a look and see what I find, I sssums there are some stamping on the turbos I can identify them with. I’m curious to see how far the prior owner took this thing to convert it 😅
I'm so stoked you got a Porsche 911..
Been loving this thing 🥳
Loving The Seats
They’re pretty comfortable surprisingly for long distance driving 😅
Totally didn't expect the removed parts. That's wild. I am actually surprised that wasn't mentioned during the sale (it was a Porsche dealer right?).
Definitely excited to see what the car is putting down power wise. I am wondering if you replace the exhaust, will you need a tune? Are they as sensitive as EJ's for tuning when modding?
It was a mom and pop dealer 😅
It’ll need some remapping but should be getting tuned End of month 🔥
@@Smeedia I think you got hell of a good deal btw. Don't mistake my comments as negative. I seriously want a Porsche myself lol. My suspicion is you will change the wheels out soon.
@@matthewwain9958spot on, I am not a huge fan of those wheels. Was talking with a company about doing some custom TE37s potentially for it 😅
Unless the previous owner also did these you have: different front suspension geometry, different gas tank, different fender liners, check the front center radiator as properly setup ones will have the hoses on top instead of bottom, rear seat delete. Your wing appears to be techart. That’s all I can see off the cuff.
To get it to run on the dyno maybe back probe your rear wheel speed senors and run wires up to you fron sensors. Or jump the signals at the module
Try hitting up the guys at Drift Office in Auburn. They have an AWD dyno and I'm pretty sure it's size adjustable. They're pretty chill guys.
I’ll give em a call 🫡 they’re not too far out
Awesome video! Is there any way or is it beneficial to “prime” the oiling system? Like on the wrx with clear flood mode. It seems like the system is very dry after pulling all of those drain plugs.
For a standard oil change not so much, the only time I ver prime an engine is if its. Freshly installed engine or the oil pump has been replaced 🫡
@@Smeedia got it. Thanks for the reply! Looks like a lot of fun, can’t wait for more content. ✌️
Renton Mike here! Killer ride dude! But!!! It freaked out on dyno becuz its not 4wd anymore... duz that mean NO BURNOUTS??
On the road it’s not an issue, only really came up in the dyno. 😩
Was this car originally a awd? And it was previously converted to rear? I don’t miss any of your videos but I might have missed that part. I remember you were waiting on pickup and I thought you said something about front wheel bearings. I am just curious, cause no matter what you build I am always here for every build.
We picked it up in the last video 🎉 and yessir it was originally AWD and converted to RWD 🫡
I don’t even think my truck held that much oil, holy moly that oil flow was crazy
It just kept coming 😂😂😂
@@Smeediashe was gushing in excitement of you taking her for a ride
The GT2 has suspension parts that did not come on the regular Turbo, but that can obviously be changed. Yes, the Turbo tires to kill you. It is for REAL drivers. No electronics to save you if you make a mistake. I've been a high speed instructor for the SCCA and PCA for years and love these cars on a track. Be careful and don't make mistakes. Excellent buy
Thank you 🙌 I’m slowly working my into this thing little by little. The driving dynamics of this thing are so unlike anything else I’ve driven. Working on trying to get it out to some local events to play with it on a controlled setting 🙌🫡
With the DIY exhaust are you going to try and mimic an aftermarket exhaust referring to the routing of the exhaust or do your own? I’m just curious because doesn’t the bend placements and stuff factor into the sound?
Also you wouldn’t happened to have found the Konig center caps laying around🥺
I’ll try and mimic it the best I can but we will see how close I can get it 😅
I thought I sent those to you a hot while ago? 😩
Cool to see some euro action!!!!
Excited to play with something a little different 🥳
Hey where would you guys recommend getting individual parts from? I wanna build a motor for my brz but I’m not sure of a reliable shop to source individual parts
Damn man this is SO COOL I cant wait to own a 911 someday, subie daily/porsche race car 😂
Perfect combo, I’ve supposing seen a couple cheaper ones pop up with bad engines 😅
Good call on changing that oil it didn’t look very fresh.
Figured would be a good idea to jump into some basic maintained to be safe
Hey tanner! I’m having a problem on my 06 Impreza with with a jdm 5 speed where my wheel speed is intermittent. Could it just be bad sensors and are they on the hubs or the trans?
Could be sensor, I’m fairly certain those transmissions have the speed sensor on the transmission. Should be to the right of the turbo on top of the trans
The oil level is measured when the oil is at operating temperature, not the coolant temp. Unfortunately there is no oil temp display on that car (to my knowledge).
That makes sense, the AP I got shows oil temp so once we install it we should be able to live view that data 🙌
When I had mine I used to see if it was warm enough to check oil level before thrashing it.
Is there a way to jump the fronts to the rears and fool the system?
Looking into this 👀
Mods for Porsche $$$$$ $6000 yikes lol vs you know already the Subaru and Mazda such a difference in price. Excited for the joy you are having with the new toy.
I was shook when I saw that 😂 I’ll dig everything as per usual aside from engine parts we should be able to build or fab anything needed vs buying aftermarket
Yoo!! That 911 interior 😍👌🏽👌🏽!
Thing feels so comfy to sit in 😩😍
The way that rx7 cranks to life is impressive.
Tbh for my first rotary engine I was surprised how quick I starts 😅
@@Smeedia sounds very healthy. Going to keep it silver or different color perhaps?
@@damiendoisher7812silver 🫡 I love the factory color. Going to strip it down to a bare chassis. Re paint it, raptor like the bottom. Refresh everything. The RX7 IMO is a car that deserves a full refresh to bring it back to 100%
This man is living our childhood fantasies
Remove the bumper, move heat shields out the way and you'll have easy access to spark plugs. Much easier than removing exhaust, considering you may have to remove the bumper anyways to remove your exhaust.
Appreciate the tip 🫡 when we go to build the new exhaust and we have the bumper off and the exhaust we will get em knocked up 🫡🙌
oh, look, who's first! It seems like you're having fun.
So far having a blast 🙌🥳
Personally, I don't understand the "purists'" dislike of the 996 headlight design. It's still recognizably "Porsche" to me. I guess it's much like the various generations of WRX/STi headlights.
Either way, crazy jealous of your acquisition of the other brand of Boxer-engined goodness. The flat-6 is probably my favourite-sounding engine in the automotive world. Biding my time until I can afford to toss an aftermarket exhaust on my 3.6R.
I’ve never understood it, I have no issues with the 996 lights. The only grip I have is the Orange bulb in them. But should be an easy LED Conversion for that.
Have heard really good things about the Raptor headers for the 3.6 if you’re looking for a good budget set!
Yes! I've been keeping my eye on those exact ones!
Sadly, it's not a case of direct bolt-on, as the manifold and cats are a single continuous piece per bank, so there'll need to be some fab work done to cut the stock pipes in the right spot and have flanges welded on.
I bet its tuned up to 400s. Wonder about the awd delete, why wasnt it tuned to turn off the front wheel sensors.
I don’t think you can via software, the car uses the speed sensors to detect wheel slip for the ABs system as well
You need to do the pedal dance with hazard on to put it on dyno mode
Nice
🫡🫡🫡🫡
The obligatory shifter jiggle to absolutely positively make sure it’s in neutral 😂
Gotta triple check 😂
Disabling psm takes 60 seconds. You simply Unplug the clip going to the yellow sensor on the side of the brake fluid reservoir. …in the frunk, drivers side by the brake booster. 👍
I’ll do this next time 🫡 I’m assuming once I plug it back in it’ll take 60 sec to kick back on?
Yes. Popular hack for folks that track the 996tt. An Inline switch can be installed to make it an ez on/off.
Not sure if it would work with a Porsche, but can you just pull the ABS relay to disable the traction control system?
I saw in some forums that that might work, going to give it a try next time 👀
no disrespect but did you do any sort of ppi on this car? awd to rwd "conversion" is kind of a big deal...
Tbh nope 😂 the dealer did tell me it was a RWD car, but they did not tell me it was a RWD converted car. I thought they were just saying that. Either way whatever issues or problems arise nothing I can’t tackle or stumble my way through figuring out 😅
There has got to be some kind of dyno/test mode you can put the car in
Looking into it a bit more, spoke with the gentlemen who tuned it prior and I was told we will need an AWD dyno to accommodate the sensors. I’ve only seen online dyno modes for newer models so far
“We’re going to dyno the car… [next 5 seconds] we can’t dyno the car” LMAO
Lmao I tired 😂
Definitely a lot different working on a European car. From working on a Subaru to an Audi the electrical nightmare is beating me up, seems like if not all modules are in sync the car won’t work, big difference with my subaru which took me a week on electrical work to now months on audi where I dont see the end in the near future😢😢😢
I feel that, when I had to do the electrical on the 17 assts I it was similar where the CAN controlled so much. I can only imagine an Audis electrical system being a nightmare 😢
You can unplug the abs and that gets rid of the PSM completely
Pssst Tanner ,! I work for Porsche in parts dept …. LMK ! lol
neat!
🥳🥳🥳🥳
If my 02 WRX JDM engine is tuned on 93 can I not run 91 as I'm moving from VA to WA state
I’d suggest a retune for baro and atmospheric change + fuel change. We have 92 over here. You’d be okay for the most part on 92
i’m boutta buy a white 22 wrx u traded in at a dealership along with a 23 blue wrx did you do anything to the white one to mess it up😜
Are actually buying them?! They dropped the prices in both already lol
The white one needs an alignment unless they did it but aside from that they’re both perfect 👌
@@Smeediai noticed the alignment imma get that fixed at the subaru dealership i work at, but im only buying the white one, or trying to😂
Eyyy keep me posted!!!!
Could you make the car AWD again?
the 996 GT2 also does not have any traction control I believe
Usually removing the fuse will disable that future , just an idea 💡 , looks like a puzzle to work on Porsche
I’ll try that next time, I’d assume it work work? 😅
@@Smeedia I’m a Master tech for Volvo, 😅 if something you want to by pass, I always remove the fuse to do what ever I need to do 👍🏻 I hope it works on Porsche, by the way, I got new engine installed at Subaru on my Subaru under warranty 👍🏻, I just checked online, you are 100% right, your Porsche looks exactly like GT2 except some small stuff.
@@Atlan_tisglad to hear that the engine was covered 🥳🥳 definitely seems like the prior owner had a goal in mind for this thing being as close to a GT2 as he could 😅
@@Smeedia I will give an idea 💡 😁 please check where is Sami truck load scales in your area and do the weight check, I’m actually curious now if the weight of your car close to GT2. 👍🏻
I don’t care what anyone says about the headlights! It’s still a Porsche 911 turbo! Love the silver too and black interior 👏 don’t worry, I can’t say porscha either 😂 doesn’t feel right!
lol it gets me every time 😂 I like the silver but low key wish it was black or white 😅
Dude, I think you will need some fresh rubber soon, looks like they are getting low! Cha-ching :p
It needs some tires 😅
That front bumper depression is really getting to me lol. I hope there is a way to resolve that?
Front bumper depression?
@@Smeedia it looks sunken in at the very front and center. Possibly needs some rear support?
Did you know:
Porsche puts there ignition on the left side because back in the 30s-40s drivers would start on the left of their car with it off. Thus porsche drivers could start that car while entering.
Someone did tell me that, kinda cool that they kept with the theme of it 🙌
Maybe some track time with the Porsche 👀👀👀
100% happening 🫡
Maybe you should slap the front diff back in so it doesn’t kick out and make you feel it wants to kill you.
If I can find a diff and axles for a decent price I might pick em up 😅
Wonder why awd got deleted ? Was it wrecked or something
I guess it’s a fairly common thing that people do on these things
It saves about 100 lbs/45kg and some people like the 2wd experience better
Also the AWD system saps far more power from the engine compared to RWD. A RWD converted one will put around 10% more of its flywheel bhp to the wheels.
I’ve always heard we should keep the oil level right in the middle of the range. You might want to research that a little. I’m sure you’re fine, but you never know
Couple techs told me to aim for 2 bars under full 😅 next time I’ll dial it back a hair lol
Seeing the 911 on the dyno was such a blue ball 😅😂
Lmao loaded it all up and strapped it down for nothing 😂😅
I would just weld a fewcut outs into those exhaust pipes
That’s not a bad idea, but I’m already committed now 😂 plus I wanna swap to the G sport cats as they’re a bit more efficient
I think the last car I would add to this collection as the ultimate tuner would be an r35 gtr
Only if you were going for fun, would be missing a "family daily" if you have a family
I have some Dogs, they normally just hang out in the back seat though 😅 eventually I’d love to snag an R35 black edition
Would not call it a clone, GT2 has basically full GT3 suspension, bigger brakes, different clutch without slave, no TC, wider wheels, various engine improvements+++ Your car is definitively pretty close though 👍
8:40 wood blocks are your friend here, just put em under the tires and just drive off
About to cut up some random 2x4s I have now 😂😅
To be honest, I normally don't like Porsches. But this specific Gen I love, partially because so many purest hate the front fascia and lights, but I think it gives it a "Le Mans" attitude. I liked how it was still fairly raw to drive (as far as electronic nannies and such) and how it felt...like it was still part of the "original formula."
And if it's a clone, go with it! Way more fun than the AWD. Just keep working it in the lightest weight version of a GT2 ya can. I also now DOUBLE recommend getting formal schooling in this car at speed. RR no AWD they can get wild, especially as they are more powerful.
I’m slowly working my way up with it, I have some plans to get it out to some local events to be able to play with it in a controlled setting 😅
