2008 997 GT3 White with 3.9L SharkWerks Motor Upgrade & Bypass Exhaust

This stock white 2008 997 GT3 was sent some-400 miles to us from southern California for the big transformation to an 8800-RPM 3.9L motor, as featured in Excellence Magazine.

So many white cars! At this time we had three cars receiving the 3.9L upgrade, all of them white:





Bumper removed:


And more:


A void in the engine bay:


Ah, there it is:


Coming apart:



Old pistons/hardware:


New EVO studs:


Coming together:


Shiny horsepower:




With the cam timing done...


The rest of the engine is assembled and goes back in the car. The final touches include our exhaust (and tips) along with the 91 octane EVOMSit tune and she's ready to rumble or be broken in as another SW 3.9L is born:


We also added the GT3 radiator screen kit for protection:



With a couple of hundred break-in specific miles done we did the first oil change and now she's ready to be picked up and back off down to the Los Angeles area;)


The customer flew in to pickup the car and opted to drive it home. His shuttle vehicle from the aiport? Our green 3.9L GT3RS of course!
