crazy biturbo 986

[Stroked & Blown]

It certainly looks impressive, but a few red flags for the track:
1. Line lock on the steering wheel - 👍🏻 at the strip...☣️ on a road course.
2. Boost on an M96 💣
3. Plastic engine cover 🔥

Well finally got to watch the video. So definately a race car.
I think the car is legit, definately not a spec racer. Since I know nothing
Of seting up geometry, couldnt say if the setup works, but taking it for face value the host asked about understeer, and the builder says it drives very well.

You have to keep in mind that the builder is known for building radicle race cars, so I still think this is an engineering excercise, to show possabikities.

Plastic cover is probably carbon fiber, since the wheels and roof among other things are carbon fiber.

Twin turbo but they are small turbos and has dump valves and software controls. Builder stated that was a test engine being used for development purposes as well.

Line lock why not I have a friend drives twin turbo gt3, he drag races it always been his thing.

The other button supposed to adjust boost to add HP, thats plausable and would reduce engine wear.

I am with Radium on this why are there no more buildes using the boxster platform for GT cars, it is good for develpment.

4. Aftermarket radiators to improve cooling yet no intake ducting for them and still using the puny base cooling tubes.
5. Removes the factory ABS and also keeps the three channel brake line system
6. Dirty oil pan. That thing looked like it came straight out of a donor car without getting cleaned
7. 526hp claim out of a 2.7 M96
8. 526hp through a 5 speed
9. It looks like it was painted in sections

I support anyone trying to elevate the boxster platform but this build is questionable to me.

I think 526hp would be obtainable, it is a twin turbo. He mentioned that they did do some internal engine work, which would have been necassary to keep the engine together with that much boost.

I think it was tcp engineering offers a low boost turbo kit, for boxster that adds 100hp at like 5 or 6 psi. This guy said they are running 26psi, at full boost. If nothing is a great conversation car. I really didnt like the builder much, but would like to see the car in person.

I agree with stroked that line lock button on a riad course not in a great spot.

526hp might be obtainable the second before the case explodes or the crank disintegrates. That's assuming he has upgraded rods and pistons. I wish the interviewer had asked more about the engine. I'm guessing that might have cut into his selfie time though.

Well we can see it didnt blow apart!!

But the BOV would be annoying as hell. But thing bothers me they didnt post speed and lap info, or i just missed it.
