key PORSCHE 911 TURBO 2004 4.G Information Manual

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.

For the pure enjoyment of performance.
The passenger compartment in the
new 911 Turbo is another example
of uncompromising design. As you
would expect, it offers the highest
standards of ergonomics, comfort
and quality. The seats, dashboard,
doors and rear side panels are
finished in leather as standard. Atthe centre of the cockpit is a new
gear lever design that’s exclusive
to the new 911 Turbo.

Storage compartments.
The new 911 Turbo is not only
a powerful performer, it is also
highly versatile. Added to the
comfort and ergonomics of the
interior are a range of practical
features.
The storage compartments in the
doors and centre console feature
matching upholstered lids. These

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.
