2009 Porsche 911 Engine Oil Sump Test Rig

Test: 2009 Porsche 911 Engine Oil Sump Test Rig
Location: Porsche Research and Development Center, Weissach, Germany.

The 2009 Porsche 911 Carrera and Carrera S mark the debut of Porsche's latest flat-six engine architecture. During the development of its next-generation of engines, Porsche created a test rig to evaluate oiling system enhancements. This rig replicates the g-forces experienced by a 911 on the Nurburgring Nordschliefe circuit.

By "hardly any g force" do you mean REPLICATING THE NURBURGRING's g forces?

:P

By turning the engine over, you exert 1g +/- a few fractions of a g. Pretty darn similar to what happens when you slam on the brakes...

@mistabiggz16 and why would you wana stick your balls in there? please tell me, i'm curious ;)

@PolishAlexx "How does speaking 3 languages help you in fixing cars?"

pretty stupid question...are u sure u r studying for a masters in physics and don't work in starbucks? best workshop manuals and instructions are in italian

[BayouBluesMan]

@PolishAlexx lol can u time a v12 colombo ferrari engine?

stick to your gay ass little desk and pensils

[PolishAlexx]

@BayouBluesMan

Studying a masters in physics... can you optimize the atomization by engineering your own intake manifold?

How does speaking 3 languages help you in fixing cars? Engineers design the whole engine, mechanics (you) bolt it together.

You appear to be a pretty stupid individual so let me dumb it down for you. I design the lego blocks and what you build and i give you instructions. You put it together for me, get it?

@PolishAlexx I speak 3 languages and restore old alfa romeos and ferraris for a living

what's yr resume?

[PolishAlexx]

@BayouBluesMan

lol i find it hilarious when people consider a mechanic, someone who can take bolts off and put them back on, the same thing as an engineer, who knows physics, math and studied in universities and have degrees.

@gerfall it's "ignorant" trailer trash kid

[gerfall]

@BayouBluesMan Avid mechanic? No one cares that you work for Billy Bobs Repairs down in the Bayou. You sound illiterate and ignorance, please, shut the fuck up.

[JonkyOnTheSpot]

yea, that's a limited-motion simulator rig to help get the right g-forces that replicate a car doing a race circuit.

on a race/performance engine, you want to strike an engineering balance. ensure enough function to handle the expected conditions. add in a safety factor, but don't build more than you need. that is why engineering closer to the limits is more expensive... lots more design, testing, etc.

that's why engineering is cool. it is finding the sweet spot to meet competing needs.

@benovaja this is actually hilarious u r talking to an avid mechanic ....little molested bitch.
