Porsche IMS Fix 13: Exhaust Bolts, Supports, Plate, Axle Nuts and First Start

[@erikwithak6555]

This series of videos has been absolutely amazing to follow along, I am all for doing your own work and this should help for years to come for people in the same mindset

[@RoadandRacetv]

Love the geekiness of this episode Ben- such a clever and low cost way to torque those axle nuts without spending a fortune on a massive torque wrench. Excellent video as per usual, keep up the hard work! N.

[@BurnersCars]

Thanks! I knew you'd appreciate the geekiness!

[@chriscarlson4789]

You @BeatTheBush and @Burner's Cars should all geek out in a Porsche video together.

[@RoadandRacetv]

That'd be cool. There's the small problem of the Atlantic Ocean though....

[@mikeobrien5867]

Thanks for the IMS videos! I certainly appreciate all the extra hours you spent to put them together. It defiantly made this job go easier and a must for anyone who wants to DIY. The worst part of the experience was getting the exhaust apart and out. I bet I spent half my time on that alone. Next time I do this, I'll remove the bumper for some extra room. I've got a couple thousand km on the car and its running great. Thanks again!

[@BurnersCars]

Thanks, mate! And congratulations on a job well done! I totally agree about the exhaust! It's a real pain to get out!

[@mariodesmo]

Liked the use of physics to calculate the distance on your wrench for the axle nut. I use physics often as an engineer. Good job!

[@williamcarroll8990]

Great job!!! I really liked the torque idea I wondered how you were going to do that.

[@glideman]

Well done, great job. Must be very satisfying doing the job yourself

[@y2kse]

I love your videos I subscribed, Thanks I'm excited you are going to be doing the exhaust, I'm looking forward to seeing what you install and the process

[@Zellot360]

Thank you for such a detailed and entertaining series.

[@grahamedwards6466]

The sound quality on your presentation is very good. Apart from noticeable exceptions )( pedro, Paul, Pelican et al ) all other contributors please note. It makes such a huge difference to the concentration needed. Ooops, sorry I should have told you I am a 72 year old Boxster owner from Australia.

[@jankowskyglass]

Great job. I've watched the whole series in a row. I've looked at a 996 from 1999 at a ridiculous price and low milage. A lot of people are scared of that ims problem and it's the right time to buy one I think. You sure took away my worries. keep up that optimism. It's a lesson to many. Your german is funny. I'm german and I couldn't make out the meaning.

[@BurnersCars]

Awesome! I'm glad you found the series helpful! I completely agree--the 986 and 996 Porsches are some of the best deals around. Your English is perfect. Meanwhile, I can't muster a single word in German. They always seem like impossibly long strings of mainly consonants. My German ancestors would be ashamed! 😉

[@ojoseph4439]

Hello my friend, I write you from France, honestly, many thanks for your videos well explained, step by step. Thanks to you, I was confident with self replacement of clutch and flywheel of my 987 5 gears and make it well. Keep it up!

[@nigelholgate7958]

Really like your style and initiative. Your videos are an inspiration ! Thanks

[@MrSnaxwell919]

Thank you for making this series of videos!

[@johnT5]

Great series. Really enjoyed it.

[@jfv65]

congrats on the final result! good job!

[@airindiana]

Awesome approach to working out the torque method! You must be a teacher or uni lecturer? You seem very natural at the teaching side

[@brettmasuoka4096]

Great videos. Are you going to show how you added the hardtop?

[@BurnersCars]

Thanks! Sure, that's a good suggestion.

[@cheepGeek]

Regarding the aluminum plate, it looks like the only thing separating the left and right sections is the sway bar. Wouldn't it be easier just to loosen the sway bar to fit the plate on?

[@BurnersCars]

Good thought, but the left and right supports hold the sway bar in place not the other way around. Loosening the sway bar doesn't affect the position of the supports.

[@JohnKaufmann]

Amazing series!! So calm and thorough. Thx

[@cayman9873]

great job, I assume you put the engine oil in... and did you change the transmission gear lube while it was out ?? I kind of assume you did. very very helpful... thats a bigger job than I have ever done myself, so hope you feel great about it. what was the total time and parts bill ?? I assume this project was over a month to six weeks ???

[@desmondsequerah9760]

Good job. I like your resourcefulness. Keep up the good work. 😊👍👍👍

[@swindy4x4]

great video.. may want to consider a dealer done alignment though.. just to be sure....awesome job!

[@BurnersCars]

Thanks! I was thinking the same thing, actually.

[@BikerBloke600]

Well Done Mate. 👍

[@cheepGeek]

Awesome job and great videos!

[@cwilsonpa]

Great Job Mr. Burner! I look forward to your next project. This has been my best summer program 😌. BTW it looks like you fitted a hardtop, does that have something to do with the next project?

[@BurnersCars]

Thank you! I'm excited to move on to new projects also! Just fitted the hardtop because it tends to rain a little here in Seattle!

[@davidhk001]

hi burner, I watched most of your DIY videos even I don't have a Porsche yet :). they are great stuffs. I am thinking of buying a 996, do you know if all 996.2 3.6L use the single row IMSB? if so, should I look for the 3.4L only?

[@BurnersCars]

hello, sir! Sorry for the late reply. I just moved, and this got a bit lost... To answer your question, yes, I believe all the 996.2 will have a single row IMSB. I don't think this is a reason to look for an early 3.4. You can swap out the single row IMSB, you'll just have to be a little more careful (opt for a stronger replacement or replace it more frequently).

[@davevenables9077]

Awesome Series of informative videos, thanks you so much you are a star... From London England..

[@BurnersCars]

Thank you, Dave! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@christurbo951]

Working on the same IMS project. May I ask why you removed the half shafts? I just unbolted the from the trans

[@BurnersCars]

Ah, yes, both boots were broken. I removed them to replace the boots and recondition the CV joint. It's a totally unnecessary step if the boots are in good condition.

[@christurbo951]

Burner's Cars makes perfect sense to do that then. I can't wait to get my boxster project finished. Replaced cv boots on my 996 turbo, it was a painful learning experience.

[@auctionfiendsf]

congrats and sweet hardtop

[@franknutt1876]

Fantastic, really enjoyed you videos.

[@jacky1tse422]

Congrats!

[@JimBob_1975]

Brilliant. Well done. 👍

[@DenverChiropractor]

That was great! Thank you for sharing these videos. 😀

[@BurnersCars]

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the adventure! Cheers!

[@mikeobrien5867]

Did you get an alignment after you finished? Was it out?

[@BurnersCars]

I meant to... still mean to, but I never did do the alignment. It seems it's fine.

[@stephenanderson1561]

Brilliant !

[@magicmillhouse9586]

Just take off the whole exhaust from the headers all as one piece. Makes it much much easier.

[@incognito31013]

vert good work, good continuation.

[@BurnersCars]

Thanks, mate!

[@DavidTorres-hs6hd]

hey awesome bro job we'll have a few beers after this project.

[@BurnersCars]

Thanks! Cheers! 🍺

[@magicmillhouse9586]

His way of torquing the nut results in absolutely the wrong torque being applied. There is no way to isolate his weight from his movement. He was bouncing up and down and his hands were not free. A better way would be to use a really long distance and just use something with a known weight to hang on it. I used 45lb gym weight and a long bar at around 8 feet. I can’t remember the exact distance.

[@peter3791]

qschickte Bursche, mit veraltatet Werkzeuge, aber alleS hinbekommen, GRATULIERE !!!

[@ThomasSchick]

...Those stock exhaust systems are a little wimpy sounding to me...

[@BurnersCars]

Yeah, they are very quiet. Have you changed to to an aftermarket one? What have you done?

[@ThomasSchick]

Borla...Enjoyed the videos, they have a zen quality about them...👍🏻

[@BurnersCars]

Excellent! Thank you! Heard good things about Borla. At some point I will probably start making changes to the exhaust, so it's nice to get feedback.

[@lrmcatspaw1]

Did you really just play with C4?!

[@333Lightspeed]

Great, helped me a lot. But whole thing on the ground...back on the floor??! If you get older, you may not want to repeat this that way:-) Haha. Your back and knees will thank you.

[@grahamedwards6466]

No we don't drive up side down !!
