3.8 in a 986
Anyone know if a 3.8 would be any more difficult than a 3.6 in the 03 , 04 986 ? Anyone up here have a 3.8 986 ?

I have read in the forums that a 3.6 in a 986 is much more involved than a 3.4 conversion in comparison, but never heard if there is a difference between the 3.6 and 3.8. They seem to have been introduced in the same time frame, that may suggest they have a similar ECU/DME interface, and are a similar project.
Looking forward to see if anyone has the answer |
Or build a "conversion less" 3.8 from your current engine. It can make more power than a factory 3.8 engine and be fully upgraded from the beginning.

i believe the 3.6 works fine with the 03 , 04 boxster more so than a 3.4 . The 3.8 is from a the later 997 and was wondering if their was any thing that would limit its installation. I know a fellow PCA member who has a 3.8 x51 in his cayman and the car is one wicked sleeper .

But imho, as far as sports cars, you'd be better off buying a first generation Boxster, stripping it down, adding lighter wheels, optima, lighter brakes, lighter exhaust, throwing some sticky tires on it, and you've got a ~2,600 lb. (or less) car with mid-engine handling and lower COG than you're getting with the Cayman version of the Boxster. You can lay down some very fast laps for cheap money relative to spending $30-$60K on more expensive second hand Porsches. |

No exaggeration, of the 24 engines I have in queue right now, 20 of the are 3.6 base engines. Every single one of those 20 has failed. |
Jake, I'm intrigued by your 3.2-to-3.6 conversion. However, I didn't see any numbers on your site.Could you give me that idea of the price range to do that conversion, please? Also, how long does this conversion typically take? Thanks very much.

Our first available delivery date is now April 2015. Stage I engines are 18,500 Stage II engines are 22,500 These are elective prices, and built from your engine, not some core exchange platform. Collateral damages add dollars. We are so tired of dealing with everything being blown up I am ready for some preemptive builds, so much that I'd actually offer a discount to get some. I generally never put things on special, or discount it, because it draws the wrong crowd. In this instance we've only had ONE engine build in the past 14 months thats been preemptive and the failures really slow us down- especially when we can't find cores. |
Jake, does the Stage I and Stage II engines include the IMS Solution or just he IMS upgrade? I looked on your site but didn't see the answer. Thank you.
