What else should I change while changing my engine?
Hello all....you'll recall that when we last visited, I had just blown the engine in my '02 Boxster S at a DE at Road Atlanta. Since then I have acquired a replacement 3.2L engine and have ordered the Improved IMS bearing from LN Engineering. I also got their Oil Pan expansion kit and their AccuSump oiling system. Obviously, I am hoping that these measures decrease any oiling or IMS problems at the track. I have also gotten a new AOS assembly from my local dealer and am ordering today a new expansion tank for the cooling system. I have two stock clutches and pressure plates (the replacement engine had one). I am considering an upgrade there as well.
My question to the group is what other items should I replace while I've got the engine out? Water hoses? Power steering pump? Hoses? Any recommendations on a Clutch/Flywheel setup for DE's? What about engine mounts? Am I overlooking any weak points that I should look at improving? RMS? I want to make the car a great DE car while still being able to take it on the street. Thanks in advance! |
I would install a new water pump.

I would think about adding an additional oil cooler just to be on the safe side.

I did order a set of brass balls, should help to improve the late breaking technique :p |

With the internal friction of the extra pipework + oil cooler I would be suprised if you had a 5 psi dribble at the oil return point..... |

You are vastly better off running the larger 996 heat exchanger on your base engine, and using the LN 160F stat to lower the coolant and oil temps, as well as extending the life of your oil........ |
