Fuel PORSCHE 911 TURBO 2004 4.G Information Manual

Fuel injection.
Fuel is supplied to each of the six
cylinders by means of sequential
fuel injection. The timing of each
injection and the volume supplied
to each bank of cylinders are
controlled by the Motronic ME7.8.1
engine management system.
Adjustments are based on a range
of variables, such as throttle
position, engine speed, boost
pressure, coolant temperature
and exhaust gas composition. Theresults are optimised combustion
and fuel consumption. A hot-film
air mass sensor monitors the
density of the incoming air to
ensure the optimum air/fuel
mixture, regardless of weather
and altitude.
Ignition system.
The 911 Turbo is equipped with
a static high-voltage ignition
system. Each individual plug has
a separate ignition coil, ensuring
perfect combustion every time.
The role of distributor is performed
by the engine management
system, which operates the coils
directly. The result: optimum
performance with minimal fuel
consumption.

are reduced thanks to lengthy
replacement intervals for both
the engine oil (18,000 miles) and
air filter unit (36,000 miles). The
spark plugs require changing after
36,000 miles or a maximum of
every four years. The generator,
power-steering pump and air-
conditioning compressor are all
driven by a single self-adjusting
belt with a service life of 54,000
miles. The hydraulic tappets
provide automatic adjustment of
all valve clearances, while the
drive chains on the camshafts
and auxiliary shafts will also last
the life of the car.
Basic servicing is required after
18,000 miles or a maximum of
two years on the road. The first
major service is due at 36,000
miles or every four years at the
latest. The results: lower running
costs and virtually uninterrupted
enjoyment from your Porsche.
Exhaust system.
The exhaust system on the
911 Turbo is made from highly
durable stainless steel. The
system consists of two separate
tracts, one for each bank of
cylinders. The catalytic converters
are extremely heat-resistant,
yet quick to reach temperature
(and thus optimum performance)
when the engine is started
from cold.Twin lambda sensors in each of
the exhausts enable continuous
monitoring of the combustion
process. An additional pair of
sensors* is used to measure
the efficiency of the catalytic
converters.
Servicing.
Another pleasant surprise on the
new 911 Turbo is the standard
service schedule. Running costs
The new six-speed manual
gearbox in the 911 Turbo is
specifically adapted to the car’s
high levels of engine torque.
Designed primarily for sports
driving, one immediate
characteristic is the perfectly
judged spread betweensuccessive ratios as you upshift
through the gears. The gearshift
throw is short and precise,
with only minimal force required.
Thanks to a dual-mass flywheel,
this uncompromising setup means
there’s never any compromise
in comfort. The linkage provides
a direct connection with the
gearbox while insulating
the lever from engine vibration.
One final detail – the new gear
lever design – is exclusive to
the 911 Turbo.

Tiptronic S also includes a warm-
up function designed to minimise
exhaust emissions. When the
car is started, the engine speed is
increased so that the catalytic
converters reach their optimum
operating temperature within the
shortest possible time. braking on descent. This, of
course, helps to reduce the
load on the braking system. If
traction is lost under braking
in the wet or on snow, the system
automatically changes up to
restore lateral grip and bring the
car back into line. there is no need to use a kick-
down function. Unlike conventional
automatic systems, Tiptronic S
does not shift up when the throttle
is released, thus enabling
optimum acceleration when exiting
a corner with no loss of stability
due to changes in load. Mid-corner
gearshifts are also prevented,
thereby enhancing stability and
safety. Under heavy braking, the
system shifts down, using engine
braking to slow the car. The
function is enabled during high-
performance use when the driver
releases the throttle to apply
the brake within a period of
1.5 seconds. These active
downshifts enhance the car’s
performance, particularly when
braking for a corner. Under
prolonged braking, additional
downshifts are performed based
on the amount of brake force
applied. An incline sensor
improves uphill acceleration and
makes better use of engine
The 911 Turbo is available with
optional five-speed Tiptronic S
offering a highly rapid gearshift
action. This versatile option offers
fully automatic five-speed
operation as well as direct manual
control.
In manual mode, you can change
gear by hand using gearshift
controls on the steering wheel.
Simply press up to change up,
and down to change down. The
clutch function is fully automatic.In automatic mode, the standard
gearshift pattern, designed
for maximum fuel economy, can
be steplessly varied up to a
dedicated ‘Sport’ configuration
for optimum high-performance
driving. Each gearshift point is
automatically selected based on
current driving style and road
conditions. Within a short space
of time, you’ll develop a feel for
the system and begin to influence
gearshifts using the throttle alone.
The benefits of Tiptronic S are
particularly apparent when
exploring the car’s potential. Even
in automatic, the rapid gearshift
action enables remarkable agility
under acceleration. The imme-
diacy of response, with virtually
no interruption in drive, is now
more than comparable with a
Porsche manual gearbox. At just
3.7 seconds, the new 911 Turbo
with Tiptronic S is 0.2 seconds
quicker to 100 km / h (62 mph)
than the standard manually
equipped car.
While still in automatic, you can
change gear by hand using the
rocker controls on the steering
wheel. If there is no manual input
for a period of 8 seconds,
the system reverts to automatic
mode.
If the car is driven more assertively,
the system automatically selects

The new 911 Turbo is also
available with an optional high-
performance braking system:
the Porsche Ceramic Composite
Brake (PCCB). Successfully
tested in the toughest endurance
racing, this unique technology
has been further refined for even
greater road performance.The key components in PCCB
are the moulded ceramic discs
(front/rear diameter: 380 mm/
350 mm). The larger front discs
provide greater leverage and
therefore better brake performance.
Thediscsaremadefrom a
specially treated carbon-fibre
compound that is silicated in a
high-vacuum process at 1,700 ºC.
The resulting material is not
only much harder than metal, it
is also more resistant to heat.
Even at high temperatures, the
thermal resistance of the PCCB
disc ensures excellent dimensional
stability. The ceramic material is
totally resistant to corrosion and
offers excellent acoustic damping
properties.The pads are mounted in six-
piston monobloc aluminium
fixed calipers at the front, with
four-piston units at the rear.
The resulting brake forces are
not only extremely high, they are
also exceptionally consistent.
The pedal response is fast andprecise, with only moderate input
required.
The key advantage of PCCB is the
total weight saving over comparable
metal discs of approximately 50 %.
As well as enhancing performance
and fuel economy, this represents
a major reduction in both the
unsprung and rotating masses.
This, of course, produces
additional benefits in terms of
comfort and road-holding on
uneven road surfaces as well as
general handling and agility.

At Porsche, we’re exploring every
possibility to improve the environ-
mental compatibility of our cars:
modern materials, reduced fuel
consumption, cleaner emissions,
fewer pollutants and better
recyclability. This commitment is a
Porsche tradition that began in
the 1960s. With the latest evolutionof the 911 Turbo, the rewards are
even greater than ever.
Exhaust emission control.
Combine engineering expertise
with a commitment to the
environment and the resulting
benefits are twofold: exceptional
performance and lower emissions.
One of the cleanest sportscars
in the world today, the new
911 Turbo easily complies with
both the stringent Euro 4 standard
in the European Union as well
as LEV II regulations in the United
States.The technologies used to achieve
this compliance include twin
‘lambda’ or oxygen sensors for
each of the two cylinder banks.
One pair of sensors is used to
measure the levels of oxygen in
each of the twin exhaust tracts.
An additional pair of sensors –
again, one in each tract – enablethe engine management system
to monitor the efficiency of the
catalytic converters.*
Recycling.
Lightweight construction, long-
term durability, exceptional
recyclability: just three of the
techniques employed by Porsche
to improve the environmental
compatibility of our cars.
On the new 911 Turbo, we’ve
used weight-saving design and
lightweight materials to achieve
excellent fuel economy.
All materials and manufacturing
processes have been carefully
selected and specifically refined
to reduce any impact on the
environment. A prime example is
the twin exhaust system, which is
made entirely from stainless steel.
All lightweight materials are easily
recyclable, while the variety ofsynthetics has been significantly
reduced. Recycled plastics are
used in every area of the car
where our exacting specifications
allow. To simplify processing, all
materials are labelled for separate
recycling. Approximately 85 % of
today’s 911 Turbo is compatible
with current recycling techniques.
Water-based paints are used
throughout the car, thus reducing
the need for chemical solvents in
both production and subsequent
servicing. Other harmful materials
omitted from the vehicle include
asbestos, CFCs, and components
manufactured using CFCs.
The result is a car in which
environmental protection is an
integral part of the overall design.

Also with respect to the environment.

Servicing.
Longer service intervals are not
only easier on resources, they
also reduce ownership costs. The
new 911 Turbo has very modest
servicing requirements of 18,000
miles or every two years (standard
service) and 36,000 miles or
every four years (major service).
The replacement intervals for
parts and fluids have also been
significantly extended: engine
oil and filter every 18,000 miles,
air filter every 36,000 miles,
spark plugs every 36,000 miles
or four years, and fuel filter every
56,000 miles.
Noise.
The new 911 Turbo complies with
all noise regulations worldwide.
Instead of resorting to engineencapsulation, we’ve eliminated
noise at source: engine com-
ponents are more rigid, moving
parts are lighter, and tolerances
have been reduced to a minimum.
High-efficiency silencers in durable
stainless steel help to minimise
noise throughout the life of the
car. All that remains, both inside
and out, is the famous Porsche
sound.
Fuel system.
Key developments in the fuel
supply system include a further
reduction in the evaporation of
hydrocarbons. This is achieved
through a combination of active
carbon filter and specially coated
fuel tank. All fuel lines are made
from robust aluminium, while
those carrying vapours use multi-
layer plastic.
