In my last car I installed a seperate fan to run off of a switch for track days or when it was hot out, worked great.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

With all the story about engine failure, I was wondering if someone decided to go against the IMS problem in a radical way, and spent the $15-20k budget usually devoted to buy a replacement engine from Porsche, and instead put it into a fully electric setup ?
I have seen some car conversion but never on 996, was it ever done...
just wondering
How does the fan work? Is it supposed to run after the car shuts off? For how long? I noticed mine shuts off with the car, I thought it should run for a while after car is off to cool the engine. In my last car I installed a seperate fan to run off of a switch for track days or when it was hot out, worked great. Sorry to jack your thread with another question but I thought it was related.
My neighbor took an old Mazda pickup truck and made it fully electric.
Yeah it's not a Porsche but it's been a successful project. Couldn't see why not, but it would kill the spirit of the car and turn it into a commuter vehicle. After all how many laps can you do on a single charge on the track?

ouah, I am impressed, look at that, a 997 !
Website says between 15k to 25k that is pretty much what a new porsche engine would cost you. With the price of battery pack and electric motors going down each year, I would not be surprised to see a lot of porsche converstion. Especially that most Porsche owner don't use them for commuting so that 60 mile range is just fine for a lot of people.
at current prices, sell the roller for 10K as is, and buy another early 996 for 25-30K
There's a great build timeline for a guy who converted a simple 73 911t i read once. took him 5 years & 20K. the batteries expired in 6. sold the then undriveable car to ze germans for 10K euro
