Porsche 997 3.8 to 4.1 102mm Nickies

Exclusive on Flat 6 Innovations Stage 2 engines and also available to IMS Solution Certified Installers for their Porsche M96 and M97 Engine Rebuilds.

WHEN REBUILDING AN M96 OR M97 ENGINE, THERE ARE MANY CONSIDERATIONS WHEN EVALUATING YOUR OPTIONS.

Re-ringing your M96 or M97 engine isn’t even an option for most rebuilds, however most engine builders re-ring engines after only doing a visual inspection of cylinder bores rather than measuring the cylinders for ovality and taper. It is a guarantee if the engine has not been sleeved, the bores are out of spec on even a “fresh” rebuild.

Through our exclusive Nickies sleeving process, we have overcome the d-chunk, slipped-sleeve, scoring, as well as taper and ovality issues associated with Porsche 986/996 and later 987/997 models.

Installation of our 102mm Nickies requires additional machining; a thick-wall sleeve is fitted to deliver increased displacement while retaining an open deck configuration with no loss in reliability or durability over our popular 101mm Nickies sleeves.

The price shown is for all six cylinders on the block process. Service applies to M97.01 engines rebuilt by Flat 6 Innovations.

Description

We use a proprietary process in which a sleeve comprised of a special aluminum alloy with both high ductility AND strength is fitted to the m96 block. This allows for increased performance while addressing all cylinder issues associated with the M96 engine.

Our 3.8 to 4.1 liter Nickies for the M97.01 Porsche
997 3.8 engine is available exclusively from Flat 6 Innovations. FSI’s engines
feature exclusive features and processes developed for and available exclusively
from Jake Raby’s Flat 6 Innovations.

Nickies utilize a highly wear resistance cylinder bore plating (NSC – which stands for nickel, silicon, and carbide) for long life, which is very similar to Nikasil™, as used on the Carrera GT, GT2, GT3, and 911 Turbo engines! Nickies™ feature our superior aluminum alloy up to 66% stronger than than the cast in Lokasil™ bores or MMC sleeves, providing for improved thermal conductivity and reduced wear and friction over original or cast iron sleeves, and allow for larger bores without any loss of strength or longevity.

In fact, Our NSC-plated, CNC billet, solid aluminum Nickies™come with a lifetime warranty on cylinder plating. NICKIES™ MAKE THE DIFFERENCE!

Important: Before ordering, always confirm that the part fits your specific type/model/engine.
