LOOKING FOR A 968 CS
Discussion

Whats the rough price to super charge your cs? In your experience is it worth doing or should you start looking for a different car instead of going down the super charger route? Iv only had my cs a short time but do know a time will come when i want more power.
The 9m Supercharger conversion is a "bolt-on" to a standard car and makes a minimum of 350bhp on our dyno, the fitted price is £5295+VAT. The 420bhp version as currently fitted to the 9m 968CS requires new drive pulleys throughout to take an 8 rib drive belt (to prevent slip), straight through exhaust w/o cat and larger injectors, the additional cost is around £2000+VAT.
Our car is a non-M030 Club Sport, so to make the most from its 420bhp we fitted Big Red brakes up front with M030 rear discs, a 9m/KW V3 suspension package & M030 anti-roll bars on 8" Speedlines running Dunlop D01J tyres. With a power graph practically identical to my 993RS's 3.8 race engine the car is phenomenally quick and will pass practically everything on track (I have acceleration data for it somewhere - will post later) including tweeked GT3 mk1 & mk2. From scratch our car probably owes us £30k (would sell for £25k if anyone is interested!) and for that money I do not think that there is anything that you could buy to touch it unless you have the money for a GT3RS or modified 964RS/993RS.

Great, so even if i just " bolt on " supercharger im looking at 350bhp! Mine has the m030 option so i should be ok. Apart from the price
is there any more down sides apart from fuel consumption i would have thought?chfs911 said:
It is aound £5k all in I think. Colin Belton at 9M will give you the quote.
Colin just post my commission when you get all the orders through!

I'm calling him as soon as my bonus is in.
350bhp 968 convertible. I already have upgraded brakes & suspension. Result.
I was thinking of 'upgrading' to a 993 C2 drop top. This will be cheaper and far, far more fun.
No aircon is a must.
Yup, 350bhp from the standard kit, tested for over 4 years/25k miles with no serious problems to date. On a run the SC is pretty much on par economy wise with the standard car, under hard acceleration it will obviously use more although on track our 968 is better than my RSR.
Anyone interested is more than welcome to call in for a sample of our demonstrator, anyone in the area can also see it in action at Goodwood on Tuesday at the PCGB trackday.

Fuel consumption not an issue - very similar to non blown unit (my supercharged CS is the 350 plus version)

How does this happen - surely you don't get something for nothing? The extra 120+bhp has to come from the fuel?
Or do you mean that day-to-day driving doesn't adversely affect consumption, but a track day gets it down to single figures?
cheers,

Day to day you can drive it and if you've a soft right foot you wouldn't necessarily know its blown - the charger winds up from 3k ish, very hard from 3.5k through to the rev limiter. Never tracked it before the blower was fitted so can't comment on before n after, but yup, I guess its heading towards single figures on the track. Sorry if I've hindered rather than helped.
