Hello everyone nice to connect! Have a 2.0 718 6 speed with a long list of modifications planned. The objective is partial aesthetic but largely going after power and torque without compromising reliability or turning it into an unreliable mess. I'm embracing the 718 platform as I think there is a ton of relatively low hanging fruit to grab.
For anyone interested, here is what is on the list.
HRE FF01 20"
Ohlins MP 80 (i think JRZ is overkill for what I need at this point)
Haven't decided between soul or fab or Kline - any advice greatly appreciated. I'm not focused on sound (gasp!) as much as gaining efficiency/performance. Wrapped pipes?
TTE 465 - i believe this is the best bang for buck on adding another 140+ hp before tune. I found the Kesel post while doing some reading and they are showing some motivating performance #s. Cayman 2.0 - 465HP, 600Nm (TTE465, WMI) by KM
WMI kit - Snow?
Tune - cobb or ?
As a point of reference, Guntherwerks posts 2677 pounds / 312 ft/lb torque / 431 HP / 6.2 lbs per HP. At about $550K + vehicle ($75K?) that comes out to $1450 per HP. I'd be in for about $75K which @ 500hp would be $140 per HP. Of course there is quite a lot of other factors to consider, but my project is basically focused on maximizing the 718 platform for extra spirited street driving largely. I think for the additional $15-20K of parts/labor i've listed the plan would be pushing closer to 500 HP maximizing the 718 2.0.
I am aware that these modifications may impact the resale value for someone seeking a stock vehicle, but I have no need to sell it. I'll put it in the garage when I add another vehicle and most likely push it further into a track toy. What is interesting to me is how carefully Porsche balances their models, performance, pricing. The 718 is such a killer platform in which to build upon which is why rather than going along the path of upgrading models etc just upgrade the components as
Looking forward to any feedback, advice or rants on why i'm doing it all wrong
Happy Sunday!
