Well done 👏 you have made something really special. Hope you got that air filter sorted, It was properly clogged up in the last vid 😅 I drive an ep3 Type R and just dream about Porsches.
So awesome that you’re doing this! I own both a 911 and a track only civic hatchback. You’ll have plenty of customers wanting to do these swaps when it comes time to either replace or rebuild their pcar engines!
You could probably do forged carbon fiber valve covers and intake manifolds for relatively cheap while being possibly faster and definitely sexier and lighter. IDK but maybe look into it, because getting a foundry to cast random low-volume custom metal parts sounds expensive.
I've got an 07 Cayman S that (touch wood) still runs great at 145K miles, but would be interested in going this route if the motor ever craps out. Son is a P-car nut too, and would love a 997.1 S. Finding a car w/ a blown motor, this would be a great option.
I have a 997.2 so my engine is fine. Still I really like this build. Is there any weight savings? U should do a video on that and compare it to the LS weight increase.
Do you know if a stock valve cover would fit if you use a dry sump system? ** and drop the engine on lower fitting mounts, or if that's even possible with how it mates to the transmission...?
Im following this closely, I really want a ~500hp Cayman without paying 25k plus to build a M97. Im thinking Audi 3.0 supercharged longitudinal or a VW 2.5 with a turbo transverse. I curious if you can get the transverse axle angle in range without a custom suspension arm to allow the axles to move forward more.
This may seem like a stupid question, but…that’s my thing I guess… Can this be applied to a Carrera 4s? …just thinking about what a monster that would create. Especially since these motors can handle some crazy horsepower numbers with some work and the right turbo…
I agree, an AWD one of these would be fantastic. Technically the swap should work exactly the same in an AWD car - I am actually actively looking for a Carrera 4 or 4S so I can verify that it works
@@tuningbynick man, I hope it does! I’m subscribed and following, so once you make it happen…I’ll probably be contacting you for parts so I can follow suit. These are really cool swaps you’re doing!
I honestly dont know much about that engine. However from my limited knowledge it seems to be an older design, production ending in 2003? If thats the case, i dont see it being a good candidate due to age and availability. But by all means i am interested in more info on these engines if anyone wants to share
I do plan on looking into the possibility of making it OBDII compliant - However I honestly dont know the legality of making it truly OBDII emission compliant with a stand alone ECU.
@@tuningbynick Nick, in New Jersey, our vehicle inspection (every other year) is 95% based on the OBDII readings. There might be a way to "piggyback" the factory system...
@@bvward I can answer this one. Currently, Link G4X cannot do OBDII emissions compliance. As far as I know, they have no plans to support it at this time as not only is it a niche market (those who live in emission states, yet swap and turbo engines) and also it is fraud & highly illegal. Link does; however, support standard OBDII J spec protocols so you can read codes, log standard PID's etc.
Unfortunately they dont fit with the power steering pump - I heavily modified a Skunk2 Ultra Street manifold to fit on my 997. You can see it in this video - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Bbk9qw8R3MA.html
Hi Nick. I am very interested in communicating with you on a Porsche project and have many questions. I do not know how to get in touch with you so I hope you respond to me and we can find a better means of contacting each other. Thank you.
