Here is a link to the RichReviews Porsche GT3 Review that I reference in the Buyer's Guide video… kzfaq.info/get/bejne/i8pxdJB_ps-cpoU.html

Since there's confusion about the engine codes, see the following: E series = MY14 - E0 con rod bolt issues/fires, E1 was the replacement F series = MY15 - F0 fixed high rev misfire due to valve train wear issue, inclusions and poor oil lubrication G series = MY16 - G0 similar to MA176 engine from the GT3 RS - more oil galleries in the head, new oil pump with higher pressure, ECU changes to mid range oil pressure. G05374 and up fixed the diamond like carbon (DLC) finger follower issues G1 replacement has the DLC coat on cam lobes as well (used in RS and R from June 2016) G6 is the final iteration which has resolved all the top end issues. Many folks have 30k+ miles on these engines with zero top end failure reports online. Two failures are documented so far and they are both bottom end failure, similar to how the 991.2 GT3 engine failures occur.

There is no confusion, I stated correctly in my video... E0 series - torque on con rod main bearings fails E1 series - cam followers case hardening failure Subsequent series engine failures were evident but in general volumes of normal productions percentages with Porsche upholding their 120k/10 year warranty. The most sought after specifications being a 991.1 GT3 with a late G series engine...in effect a 991.2 engine.

@Clausewitz12345 5 ай бұрын

no, even a G6 991.1 engine is not the same as a 991.2 engine. The .2 has an other valvetraindesign. Its true, thats the G6 is the same as the 991.1 GT3 RS engine (just with 3.8 instead of 4L)

@std882 2 ай бұрын

This is the best buyer's guide video of the 991 GT3 out there. Most other videos mentioned very little in the production numbers or the E, F and G series engines. Thx.

@RichReviews_ 2 ай бұрын

Thank you. The 991.1 GT3 is about the best value modern GT3 you can buy but be mindful to either insure you have a later engine (preferably MA175 F/G series) or/and have a Porsche mechanical warranty to cover any possible catastrophic failure.

Hey, thank you

G6 is certainly the engine to have in the 991.1 GT3.

@RichReviews_ Жыл бұрын

The F series onwards will be reliable. If you wait to buy a G series 991.1 you’ll be waiting forever!

@Clausewitz12345 5 ай бұрын

F is not reliable, it will fail too

@thomasjohns13 19 күн бұрын

My F series failed with finger follower issues at 39k. Ive got a G6 now.

@chris-eccohealthcare 10 ай бұрын

what a great video, I am in the process of selling my 991.1 C4 GTS to get into a GT3 I have a budget of 120K would you go for a cheap spec .2 or a good spec .1 or just increase my budget and try for a .2 ? Thanks

@RichReviews_ 10 ай бұрын

991.1 GT3 is the current bargain buy...just make sure either the g series engine is installed or you have warranty.

@chris-eccohealthcare 10 ай бұрын

Thanks Rich. I’ll make sure i keep that in mind. 👍 do you think it’s a safer bet to buy a 991.2 ? Do you have any plans to do a review of one of these any time soon

@RichReviews_ 10 ай бұрын

991.2 is a great car but you'll pay more.

@petesatc Жыл бұрын

Rich you did the wrong GT3 the 997 and 997.2 are better handling not as fast but Mezger engines dont have the failures and are bullet proof

The E1 series engine had issues with Cam followers and Cam lobes case hardening. Are you getting mixed up with this E1 series issue?

@D.vanlente Жыл бұрын

@@RichReviews_ all E and F engines have the same problems, the G0 is quit good and the G6 is the best engine for the 991.1.

The F series onwards will be reliable. If you wait to buy a G series 991.1 you’ll be waiting forever! Best to ensure F series or later and purchase a warranty.

who would buy a GT car without the carbon buckets? deal breaker for me.

For me it was a compulsory option.

Me as they were really uncomfortable. Couldn’t get comfy in them at all and gave me a bad back doing any kind of distance.

@RichReviews_ 19 күн бұрын

That’s really surprising and the first I’ve heard scribe find them uncomfortable. Do you suffer with back issues at all?

@thomasjohns13 19 күн бұрын

I bought my GT3 with comfort seats for this reason. And without a cage so i can make the most of luggage space for touring the UK/europe. My reasoning was if i wanted a track car id opt for the RS. To me essentials are nose lift & Porsche warranty so you can get a G6 engine if you put enough miles on it.

@RichReviews_ 19 күн бұрын

Porsche GT bucket seats are a lot less forgiving than Ferrari race seats. You’d probably be alright in 458/488/F8 race seats…give them a go.

@darren996 6 ай бұрын

How can you tell which engine the car has? By vin #? Can you tell by this Vin # WP0AC2A92GS184165

@RichReviews_ 6 ай бұрын

There is an engine number which has an alphabetical ID that denotes which engine is fitted.

@Clausewitz12345 5 ай бұрын

You have to check the underside of the engine. There is a vid on YT for this

@thomasjohns13 19 күн бұрын

You have to check the engine itself, because porsche leave the original door sticker. Ive a G6 but nothing really tells you that. You can ask the seller to send all the porsche service/repair reports for the car and it will be in that. Porsche hold it all digitally.

The issue only really exists with 991.1 series GT3 engines.
