    Why not go for the X 51 3.8 ltr it may be easier!

    Years ago racing Folumula "V" the engine was in front of the gear box similar to a Boxster setup. The VW ring gear was just flopped over so we could have 4 speeds forward. Same as a 996 VS a 986 however I don't think you can flip the Ring Gear on either.

    120mm (4.7 in) A 3.4 996 measures 16 inches from Center of Crank to top of Intake manifold. I that will help?

    997's have different headlight shapes so it won't be a bolt on...

    Kevin Check out Amazon They have Aasco for less than $800.00 with 3 left in stock. Catman

    Kevin According to others that have swaped 3.4 Ltr motors into Boxster the 996 flywheel will not fit. Catman

    The photos are off Pelicanparts.com not my actual pads. The thing is; a year or so ago I was in the market for some new pads and they all look like the old picture even the Pagid Orange I bought for the track and the BHP pads I bought for daily driving. I’m concerned about them fitting. I was also wondering what the purpose of those round metal thingies serve as they will outside of the calipers. They will fit!

    Ali Thanks a lot now I understand what you were talking about! In the middle of the month I hope to start my swap, I intend to keep my 5 speed and was looking for help with clutch and flywheel suggestions. I am not sure if the spline on a 5 speed is the same as a 6 speed. Since the 2.7 - 3.4 are M96 motors I would assume that the flywheels for a 2.7 Boxster and a 3.4 996 are the same maybe only the clutch disk is different? Parts book show different numbers but you can't tell how they are different. Does anyone know the answer to this problem? Catman

    Good point $200+/-

    Good point

    The only Difference is maybe the pressure plate for a 5 speed vs a 6 speed.

    Ok You say you have all the service records. Has the rear main seal been replaced before? If so, how many times? Is the current seal the latest version? Concerning the CEL, have the coil packs ever been replaced? Has the MAF ever been replaced? Do you have all of the codes from the PST2? I suggest you get a lot more info before making a decision. If this is the original seal at 68k miles and is just now beginning to leak, then I doubt the crank is way out of whack. The go/nogo tool is not a failsafe determing factor for a bad engine. You could replace the seal with the latest version and not have a problem for the next 68k miles. You cannot always trust the dealer. They are only as good as the tech who is looking at your car. I scanned a friends car (not a 996) to give him a second opinion on a $2300 dollar estimate to fix emission related problems diagnosed by the tech (car would not pass with a CEL). My cheap scanner diagnosed a code which could be caused by a bad gas cap. New cap and $15 later no CEL. You should get the codes and fuel trim values and post them here. Dig a little deeper into the problem before the dealer just starts replacing parts. This is the second seal it's had. the first one was at 46k miles and was done in 2005.. the coil packs have not been replaced IMHO, nor has the MAF. I think the lastest seal came out after 2005? They have had three or four diffferent seals since the problem stated showing signs of problems

    The control box located on the lower control arm that shifts the headlights when braking etc., will not work when the car is lowered without changing the length of the control arm to the sending unit.

    It took me less than two hours to change my AOS on my 2000. I did use a adjustable clamp on installation of the new bottom hose. You just have to feel your way around.. Catman
  16. catmanluge
    I think the control is connected to the Heat and Air Conditioning Panel. I forgot the input codes maybe someone else on the board can help.

    I would say Kumho give the nbest bang for the buck!

    Actually they are 45 not 40 they are on the rear sorry. I have PSS9's on all four corners but had the same tires last year will a Conventional Strut but lowered with Eibachs.
  19. catmanluge
    I doubt they'll fit. I have the standard 17" wheels with 205/55 tires in the front, and with 15mm spacers, they barely clear when turned full lock in either direction. You might be able to get 225/50's on there, but your best bet is to check with a place like Wheel Enhancement or Tire Rack. I have 245x40X17 Hoosiers on stock 9 inch wheels on a boxster with 7 mm spacers. There is some rubbing on the inner plastic fender but nothing to worry about.

    It still sounds like the AOS I would try changing the AOS as my best guess. Clean the intake really good before starting plus the exhaust system could still have a lot of excess oil. Catman

    Ali A while back you said you would show how you lowered the engine mounts. Do you have any photo's of the mods you made to achieve this? Thanks catman

    I have a set of Ebach's that I could have sold to you!

    I have had the same vibration on decelation at 3000 rpm. If you take off the muffler section of the exhaust it goes away. Placed an extra bracket on the muffler and it is still has the same vibration. It is something within the muffler itself on my Boxster...
