SharkWerks and Evolution Motorsports have once again collaborated to develop a full 3.9L engine conversion for the venerable Porsche 997 GT3 motor. Tuned in the extreme heat of Arizona on EVOMS’ Mustang Dyno the 3.9L engine conversion brings up the horsepower from a factory 3.6’s 385rwhp (415hp) to 458rwhp (502hp) and from 274rwtq (300tq) to 326rwtq (355tq). The EVOMSit software (featuring IST and SP) is calibrated for either 91 or 93 octane levels. With more than fifty foot pounds of torque made available in the lower rpm range as well as an additional 70plus HP in the higher RPMS the character of the motor is amplified and even extended by an additional 400rpms. Utilizing our light-weight Piston kit we are also able to improve upon the already-quick throttle response and revs to an even more lively level.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Q) What vehicles is the 3.9L upgrade available for?
A) The upgrade is available for 2004-2005 996 GT3 models, and 2006-2008 997 GT3 or GT3RS models only. It is not available for Porsche Cup Cars, standard Carrera, Carrera S, 4S and GTS or Turbo and GT2 models.

Q) Do you offer the 3.9L for sale as a kit so I can install myself / have my mechanic install?
A) Sorry, we do not offer the 3.9L as a kit. Due to special in-house tools required for the engine build and to ensure quality control, the engine or car must be sent to our facility in northern California, or our authorized partner in Arizona.

Q) What is the time required to complete the upgrade?
A) Typically the upgrade requires 5 weeks to complete. If the bottom-end or heads require additional service, it may be slightly longer.

Q) What is the cost to complete the upgrade?
A) The price depends on the vehicle, mileage, and options. This can vary based on the US-Euro exchange rate. The base price starts at $34,000 USD including the installation and removal of the engine. If the bottom end requires replacement rod bearings and bolts (recommended on vehicles with 20,000+ miles), this is an additional $5500 USD. If the heads or valve train require service (typically on vehicles with 30,000+ miles), this may be an additional $3500-5000 inclusive. Please call or email for a detailed estimate.
