Mostly stock at the time. I think I only had the 57-7000 K&N cold air intake system on at the time. Motor size was 3.8 liter making about 365 hp with intake.

It sounds so good, I was looking at a 2009 911 S and am hoping it sounds similar to this

@@darrend2035 The 997.1 vs 997.2 do sound a bit different, but a nice cold air intake kit will make a nice difference in sound. Especially 5000-7000 rpm. I now use the Evoms V-Flow intake kit. I like the design a bit better than the K&N, but they both sound identical. Real screamers in the upper rpm.

@@qikqbn77that kit wokrs on the carrera s 3.8 ? Websites say no 🥴

@@MyRallyChannel The kit was made for 2004 996 but It's the exact same intake dimensions between 996 and 997. Fits almost perfectly.

For these track days back in 2016 I was using "Harry's Lap Timer" App. It basically creates the overlay of information over your android/iphone recorded video. So I mount the phone to my windshield and record the lap through the Harry's App. Or, it also allows you to download just the overlay and composite it onto any other video like a gopro video. It's was a good app back in the day. I am sure there are much better ones now to chose from as well.

Wow, that would be an amazing project. I worry about the space restrictions on the mid engine to accommodate a Turbo engine. To fit the 3.4 liter we created some spacers for the front motor mount that allowed it to drop about 1 inch because the intake manifolds on these engines are taller. . Remember that the intake plumbing and fuel rails have to be flipped for any engine conversion from 911 to boxster. So you need to consider the space for the Turbo intake piping and how to route it to the intercoolers. Where will the intercoolers mount on the Boxster??? These are all problems that would need to be carefully planned out and solved. Best of luck though. That would be an awesome car if it worked!!

Speedo timer in gauge cluster 3:08-3:10 is 5mph, Clutch was let out slowly at 5mph in order not to abuse clutch/transmission, so a little time may be gained if hard/abusive launch used.. Still, from what I see, about 1/2 sec after the speedo timer passes 3:10 the clutch is engaged. As timer hits 3:15 63-68 mph passes.. After 6 seconds or 3:16 speedo timer mark car is going 75 mph and 100 mph by 3:20 which = 5-100 mph in 3:10-3:20 = 10 seconds total with an easy launch. Another angle is follow the analog speedo far left. Starts to move in video 09 seconds. Hits 60 mph at 13 seconds = 4 second range. approximately.

Hey Kevin, I purchased my 2006 911 C4S 10 years ago with only 6,000 miles on it. Today I am closer to 86,000 miles. I have always burned about 1 quart of oil per 1000 miles. Sometimes if I do a lot of canyon running or a track day I may burn 1.5 quart in 1000 miles. A 2007 Official Porsche Bulletin said that is was "Normal" for Porsche to burn up to 1.5 Liter per 1000 Kilometers or = to 1.6 quarts per 622 miles. This goes for most of their vehicles including Cayenne's and Macan's. I have never burned quite that much in 622 miles, but I do notice a higher burn rate after aggressive driving that involves lots of corners versus just cruising on the freeway. I would not worry about your burn rate. Looks normal to me, although lots of 997.2 guys say they do not burn oil at all. Some engines just have looser tolerances in the pistons/rings for whatever reason. My 2008 Cayman S burns no oil between oil changes every 5k miles. If you start burning 1 quart every 300 miles... well, then something is not happy. Hope that helps. Check out Rennlist Forum for all kinds of topics and answers. google search any Porsche concern followed by the word "rennlist" and you will get some good insight from other Porsche owners. Enjoy in good health and keep driving your 911 like it was meant to be driven!

@@qikqbn77 Thanks for the information. Reading the boards shows consumption varies widely. I purchased mine at 41.5k miles. Been a fine car to drive once it is well warmed (oil temp around 200deg F). At that point the thing is an animal. What are some of the things to look out for? Since I've owned it I've noticed some low RPM (under load) pinging. It has PDK too, so I tend to drive it in manual mode to stop the pinging. But also wondered if the issue could be from CA gas formulation. None of my other P cars do this. Perhaps an issue with the HPFP? I've read that these go out.

@@kevingriffith3801 sorry for late reply. I would highly recommend you send in your oil to Blackstone labs for oil analysis. Keep an eye out for any abnormal levels of aluminum, silicon, and other metals. The oil analysis will give you a good idea on the health of your engine and if all the metals are within normal levels. Any spikes will indicate bore scoring or chain guide wear. Plus it will also tell you if you have any extra fuel or coolant leaking in to your oil. High pressure fuel pumps or injectors can be and issue for 997.2. Porsche has been know to take care of some of those under their good will policy, but our cars are getting up there in age. The pinging I have never noticed in my 997.1, but crappy fuel can play havoc. In CA I only use Chevron 91 and also do a techron fuel additive cleaner once every 6 months. I know the 997.2 have a ticking sound from the high pressure injectors, but the pinging I am not familiar with. Maybe check out rennlist forum and do a search. Hope you are doing well and being safe as we all quarantine. hope this ends soon and back to normal life!!

Its manual shift not clutch

@@Deadchannel90 went right past your head didnt it lol

Just passed smog check a few days ago with flying colors!! In and out in 20 minutes. It took longer to boot up the Smog check stations old equipment. The hardest part now, in California, is that less and less smog shops want to test Pre-2000 year cars because they require a dyno roller and sniffer test that uses older equipment. They want to make it harder for us to find a station to do tests at ;^( but my car has passed every time with no issues. Just need to run the car real good before stopping for the test. You want the catalytic converters nice and hot during the test. ;^)

Running some after market "boxster spyder" look a likes. They are a bit heavier than oem Spyder wheels, but less than 1/2 the cost.

qikqbn77 thanks they look so good on the car

Thanks! Intake setup is K&N 57-7000 plus IPD Competition Plenum with GT3 82mm throttle body. No exhaust mods... yet.

...and right hand... ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

@@jedidiahjewelmann2116 Left hand in Australia... Haha

@@captninsno2320 Australia...? I think that stick is on right side...check the other videos...Guy is probably from US...

Thanks for asking... It is a great car... She is a keeper. No plans on selling just yet ;^)

Thanks!!

Hey Vladimir. You have a great ride and sounds like you are enjoying it. One of my favorite mods was doing a Glass rear window . Check out www.gahh.com and search for Boxster heated glass window. I highly recommend them and they have come down in price since I did mine. They can do the install as well if you are local. cheers!

qikqbn77 thanks for he heads up ..I’ve seen them they are cheap now and they have the rear defroster too ..I can’t wait to change it ...

awesome!!! That would be a dream conversion for sure. Almost swapped my Cayman S 3.4 for a Cayman S 3.8 conversion... Keep us posted on how it turns our. maybe make a video showing 0-60mph or 0-100 mph ;^) best of luck with it all!

Sure! As long as you don't make me a "stereotype" or butt of the joke ... Haha... I watched your 10 stereotypes video. Love the Funny clips after each stereotype. If you use anything, let me know when it's posted !

Don't worry lol deloghted you liked it. It's actually about budget sports/supercars you can buy

Exactly what I feel and experience! Almost exactly my 2006 boxster s has been!! Especially in Hawaii! Aloha

How are you liking it?

@@drew32 With the way prices are rn he probably wants to sell it lol

@@crotchee3031 I bought a 2003 Boxster S in 2020 and love it. It's gone up so much in value since I bought it too.

I documented all the parts I had to order and use for the conversion. It is an easy conversion, but a bit expensive once you order all the parts. The only issue that makes people nervous is splicing in the new electrical loom that has to work with the led lighting. I explain and list all the parts on my website and if you read through the bottom of the page you will see the wiring explained. www.qikqbnboxster.mysite.com/photo3_1.html For more info on my Porsche Projects please visit www.qikqbnboxster.mysite.com/

Yes, this still has the original 5 speed transmission of the base boxster 986. 1st, 2nd, and 3rd gear are still very competitive with the Boxster S 6 speed, but then 4th and 5th gear of the 5 speed tranny are much taller. In 5spd 4th you can hit 135mph vs about 125mph in the 6spd.

I'm glad to hear it holds up well. I've been doing my research into either a 3.4 conversion or an engine build. What made you go with the 3.4 conversion over a built engine?

depends on what you are starting with. 10 years ago when I did this conversion in 2006-2007 the price made a lot of sense to me. Plus, I love the idea of having a 911 engine inside the Boxster. This is how it should have been from the beginning. With that said. I do not think I would do this conversion today. Price wise it makes a lot more sense to purchase a 987 2007 Boxster S that already has a 3.4 liter engine and also upgraded interior and build quality over the 986. You can find these now in the 20k range. An engine/labor/parts and replacing old parts in a 986 will not be as cost effective these days and still run you about 15k to 20k when all done..

Hey, great choice! I did a basic modification on on the airbox which opens up the airflow and is called "desnorkeling". Easy to find how to do on most porsche forums. I also use a high flow K&N Filter E 2295 that is about 60 bucks. These mods add maybe 5-10hp on a good, cold, day ;^) I also like the IPD Plenums for a subtle mid to upper rpm horsepower gain .

clu4u are they problematic? Pls advise
