X51 for our Cayman

This arrived for our Cayman this past Tuesday. Straight from Porsche *crate engine* It will take some creativity to get into the Cayman!!

I have already measured the intake against a stock 996 engine. It appears to be the same heigth. My concern: I dont like how others drop the 996 engine to fit under the stock engine cover. Every car I have seen done this way has bashed in headers..

We will probably make a new engine cover.

Tell Rhonda: Brad from MOM said hello.

Good luck with the install, it is a sweet setup!! A Cayman with 380HP is a very cool car!! Wait till you see what the owner of FVD DE. has up his sleve for his personal cayman

We already have all of the 997GT3 front end pieces for ours. The day it arrives it gets yanked apart and all the goodies installed. Our plan is to race it quickly.

Brad,
Thanks for the insight through the PM. I just put a 3.8L crate motor on order for my Boxster S. That, along with headers, cats, ECU, lightweight flywheel, and a sport clutch. I'll let you know how it goes. I'm excited about finally pulling the trigger on this car. FVD says it should be good for about 380hp of fun.

Thanks for the good wishes. I hope that this will be a solid solution to the age-old problem with a great car.

It just didn't have enough HP.

I'll post pics of the progress once it starts.

it seems that in SoCal dealers are allowing ppl to test drive cayman?

in SF, i haven't find any dealer who's willing to do that. and they still only got the silver PCNA car.
