3.4 swap issues, and an alternative to lowering engine 1.5"

[Brad Roberts]

lol

CaymanS engine cover fits right on. It's raised in the middle. You have to transfer the 986 DZUS fasteners and add a washer to them. The 987 engine cover is alum and much thinner/lighter

Every car I crawl underneath with a lowered 3.4 has beat up headers... every one of them.

Want to make more power? Install the CaymanS air box in the 986. It requires removal of the *muffler* chamber and slight movement of the vent line from the gas tank

I'm tired of seeing all the "hot air" intakes other shops have used in the past.

Are you able to get the Cayman box in with out engine removal?

Do these fellows finish the engine cover for sound and carpet or are these strictly track cars? Mine buzzes like crazy with no cover on the cover

[Brad Roberts]

I can

The CaymanS snorkel can be installed from outside the car, so yes you can install it with engine in the car. It *will* require removal of the drivers side plenum, but the plenum doesn't need to come out of the car, just flip it up and over.

FYI: get the CaymanS MAF holder also..

I just did the Cayman S air box install in my own 986. And yes it fits right in, once you remove the sound muffler/chamber off the back. I also "adjusted" the area around the MAF upper clamp. My engine is out, I would imagine its a tight squeeze with engine in car. I can add some pic's if anyone is interested.

I'll let him post his pics of the muffler removed

Brad,
Could you give me the part number for the 987 engine? This is exactly what I was looking for, I didnt want to lower the engine for obvious reasons.

[Brad Roberts]

Yes I can

987.513.211.00 or .02

Here is what I do to find them used:

Do a search on Planet9 for the guy's who have purchased the clear engine covers for their Cayman's and send them a PM asking for their used cover!!

I'm showing Porsche pricing @ $334.33 I typically pay $150 for them used.
