Well for the ones following my progress on my project 2000 996 that has been sitting for 1 1/2 years while I worked on the custom SC / Intercooler and and Intake etc decided to put the Boxster computers/controllers in and see what happens . I got alittle ahead of myself not having a A/F and boost gauge, but figured that with Boxster settings that it would run rich which judging by how ruff and noisey it runs I was right. I now have to get the DME programmed for a 996, and talk with GIAC on tuning. Thanks to some of the threads and suggestions offed by many and any suggestion welcome on my direction at this point. Here is a sound clip took from my phone so I hope you can hear. I gave it a qwick rev at the end of clip and it seems to respond ok.

congrats....big milestone there

 

Thanks, I was a nervous wreck! I am amazed that it started with a boxster DME and Alarm and 42 Lb injectors. I have to hand it to porsche to be able to compensate and even carry an idle. I spent most of the day fixing a radiator hose that was rubbing the SC pulley, so now I need to remove my duck tape bandades and visit the blood bank for a refill.

 

Congrats on the progress.

 

Thanks, Still trying to find a better intake. I am not sure on what to tell GIAC on the tune to have it done when I choose a tuner that will step up?

 

why a boxster DME?

 

Cost is main factor dealer costs are very high and mine were missing so went with good used parts and could not find one out of a 996, evidently the only difference if the PN# are the same is weather they are programmed for Boxster or 996. Most of the electrics work but some do not like my sunroof etc and I think that this due to Boxsters do not come with them etc.

What brake fluid do you use? I need to bleed my clutch and flush my brake fluids. And is there a method in doing this since they share the same fluids?
