IMS Solution installed

[pjv]

It's about 3 months now since I had the Solution installed. I am happier with the car and drive it more often now, so clearly I have gained a benefit of sorts that justifies the cost, to me. And I have more or less forgotten about the financial cost. The impression that the engine is quieter and smoother, especially when idling, is still with me. The idle sound reminds me of a 993 that I test drove years ago, and I loved the sound of that engine. And I will probably keep the Boxster longer. So I am a happy customer.

Interesting that you've also noted the smoother running and you continue to. We hear that over and over again post IMS Solution install and there's a reason for it. Every time that we mention this people say its BS because there's no way that the bearing design change could lead to this. Those who have experienced it aren't making it up.

Some people like to solve a problem, others like to apply a less permanent fix, because of that we offer 3 products with 3 different service lives and price points. Others only offer one, and most of them didn't even design it themselves.

That feeling of a smoother running motor makes sense to me. That whole area spinning all that chain should tighten up, the IMS would be more stable, especially if the car had lots of miles.
Why couldn't those Germans have thought of that?
Or was that the influence of Toyota engineers?

Why couldn't those Germans have thought of that?

They did... Back in the mid 1950's and kept the design through all aircooled flat 6 engines with no deviation. The design continued in the Mezger flat 6 based GT3 and Turbo engines until 2013.

The very first night I took apart an M96 engine, knowing nothing about it, I invented the IMS Solution. Why? because it made sense.
