Publishsed by Dan on September 8th, 2008 | Posted in Product Info | 1 Comment »

Our customer received his HRE C20 wheels on Friday and sent us these pics over the weekend.  His Porsche 997 C4S looks stunning with these Gloss Charcoal 19inch wheels wrapped in Toyo Tires.  The step lip adds a traditional Porsche race look to the car.  Gene went to the next step and even added a Misha GT2 style wing which looks excellent.  Hopefully we will see Gene slam that baby on the ground. 

Check out some close ups of these wheels before they shipped out here on this BLOG.

HRE C20 3pc Racing Wheels in Gunmetal 19 Inch

Publishsed by Dan on September 3rd, 2008 | Posted in Product Info | No Comments »

We just received this set of HRE C20 3pc racing wheels in gunmetal for a Porsche 997 C4S customer.  The wheels are a 19×8.5 inch front and a 19×11 inch rear.  The C Series wheel is quite the engineering marvel.  These centers weigh only about 7-8lbs each which make the entire wheel weigh without tires about 18lbs.  Very strong and very light, the HRE C Series is a top choice for those wanting a good track wheel that is fashionable.  Each HRE C Series wheel is custom made to your vehicle and specific offsets.  These offsets are determined by vehicle model, brake caliper, ride height, and vehicle use.

These wheels which feature a Step Lip were wrapped in Toyo T1R Tires.  The front is a 245/35/19 and the rear is a 315/25/19.  This tire is an excellent aggressive street tire which is comparable to that of a Michelin Pilot Sport PS2.  The tire features a refined tread design and construction that offers improved dry and wet handling and performance.  The T1R tire we chose is a “Y” rating for higher speed and performing cars such as the Porsche 997.

Agency Power Porsche 996 Turbo Diverter Valves Released

Publishsed by Dan on August 26th, 2008 | Posted in Product Info | No Comments »

One of the most important upgrades for the Porsche 996 Turbo is to replace the factory Bosch diverter valves. The factory valves are prone to leaking pressure under increased boost when the car has an upgraded ECU flash. As well, the factory Bosch valves will taper boost off with the diaphragm design even at stock boost levels. To help keep the boost pressure constant all the way to redline, upgrading the stock diverter valves to the Agency Power Racing Diverter Valve Kit will improve your cars overall performance.

These valves are CNC machined 6061 aluminum which have been precision engineered to fit with the stock or aftermarket F-Hose and intake return hoses. The internal construction of the valve uses a machined piston with proper o-rings to ensure a smooth motion that is air tight to prevent any boost leaks. The spring has been engineered to hold moderate to aggressive boost increases on the 996TT vehicles. The valves feature a 90 degree removable swivel connection for easy fitting with the factory vacuum hose. If needed, the top of the valve unscrews allowing you to re-greased and service the valve. Valves are available in a polished finish and feature the Agency Power text and logo laser engraved on the top. As tested, these valves are a great upgrade for stock K16 or K24 cars and have even been used in our 700HP turbo kits. Valves are sold as a pair for the 2001-2005 Porsche 996 Turbo.

Why a positive displacement supercharger?
Power, Reliability, and Easy Maintenance have made the Positive Displacement Superchargers the primary choice of every OEM manufacturer producing supercharged vehicles from Mercedes to Ford.

The end result, an affordable, reliable, high-yield, performance upgrade available for those seeking high-performance and every-day driveability.
