  2. Will th edurametronic system work on a 2010 Boxster use the same electronic system as a 2008?
  3. My engine has M96 0166W050SU I guess we will need Lorens clarification!
  4. This is really a Great Write up! I used 11MM for the rear main seal and had a machine shop built one out of alum. No leaks yet with 6,000 miles the machine shop was short money!
  5. Not sure of your last statement? You didn't put the clip back in did you?
  6. What would be the results if you loosen the case bolts in that section of the housing? Could that create enough slack to release the bearing?
  7. I heard someone say that there is a different oil pan baffel for 3.4 engines MY 2000 and later. Does anyone have the part number of the updated engine baffel. I keep haveing problems when in high "G" force cornering situations with oil smoke.
  8. RE the oil baffle was around $30 but needs some Porsche sillicon gasket stuff to reseal the oil case. By chance do you havge the part number for the baffle?
  9. \ I have 2.5 inch stainless steel pipes with HiFlow Cats on each side they were made with a pipe bender and not that diffeercult. I would love to have a 3.8 instead of my 3.4.. Next swap maybe!
  10. Are you talking about Vivid Racing from California or the one from Florida?
  11. I had a 996 3.6 engine shipped with exhaust and it weighed a little less than 450lbs. mike Me too with pallet 465 lbs
  12. Can anyone tell me where the fuse is located for heated seats? :renntech:
  13. Check the hose behind the fender well as my 986 hose was 1/2 of an inch too short -- :renntech: replaced with longer hose and problem ended...
  14. Don't you just love companies like that what do they think you would do with that bushing? That sucks!
  15. My problems was solved by readjusting the height of the fuel injectors. Because I used the Boxster Fuel Rails the that required new brackes to fit on the 3.4 intake they were set to low. Raising the fuel rails slightly solved my problem.
  16. Traqmate is very good but not cheap. Its also very realiable...
  17. If you stick your little finger in the filler hole you can feel a "Ridge". That Ridge is 11 mm below the filler hole... Try Silkoline real slick! :renntech:
  18. I just spent three days at Watkins Glen I had to empty the catch can four times. I think I will put some sort of drain tube in the bottom of the catch can so it can be emptied easily. I used a vacumn pump with plastic tubes to empty the can through a 3/8 inch hole on the top of the catch can. On the top of the catch can I drilled a 3/8 hole as a breather it has a 3/4 inch opening on the top which I placed a 3/4 inch plastic tube that was extened from a Porsche plastic tube that is connected to the top of the AOS. I blocked the intake manifold vacumn with no leak experianced. The catch can was tie wraped on to the shifting cables at the rear of the engine. I have to make a more solid mounting bracket. There is no oil in the catch can with normal driving but with high revs and lots of g force turns it does fill up. I could run abouth 1.5 hours. No Blue smoke!!!! :renntech: Can you post a picture? I was trying to help a guy locally that had the same issue. We were going to install a Porsche Motorsports AOS, which is what I did on my 2004, and that solved the problem on my car. But when I got into the engine bay, I realized his year car did not have the same configuration. At some point, it looks like Porsche changed how the AOS is mounted - on my car, it is mounted on the bottom, with the bolts through the base. On my friend's older model, it is mounted with bolts through the side, so the motorsports AOS wouldn't fit. Not sure what model year was the first to change. We have been thinking about going the catch can route. So you left the AOS in place with the hose still going to cylinder 4, but disconnected where it goes into the throttle body and routed that to a catch can? We were not sure what effect a catch can would have on the vacuum, and where thinking about a sealed can and still have a connection to the throttle body, but configured so the oil is trapped. Really interested in what you've done. What is the "state" of the oil returning back to the throttle body? could a catch can in series that was physically lower than the throttle body. Say it entered at the catch can at bottom, and came out the top. therefor gravity would help capture, yet all vacuums etc would work, as well as it would start smoking again when the catch can was "full". m
  19. I made a catch can type set up with my AOS system trying to stop oil from entering the intake manifold. I blocked the intake hole with siliconed "Cap" that fit tightly over the intake. Then attached a catch bottle on the side of the frame behind the engine bay. From the AOS I placed a tube that fits into the catch bottle and vented the top of the bottle so that air can escape but not oil. I am hoping that this will stop my oil blow out on hard left and right hand turns at the track.. Has anyone else tried this? :renntech:
