Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Suggestion

Power wise the only change from oem parts on this original engine is the 99mm billet cylinder sleeves with JE pistons.

Suggestion

This increases displacement to 3.6 litres & matches the 2002 996 3.6 rating of 273 ft/lbs torque at the crank if you use a 12% powertrain loss figure which is minimium for a 986 manual.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

14 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

Hello Planet-9, new member here posting a picture of my 1st Porsche:

POST 2Original post

Welcome! I would love to hear more about your car! It looks great.:cheers:

POST 3Original post

That is one tidy garage....you do weekend surgery in there? :hilarious: Love the car and welcome!

POST 4Original post

The stereo receiver in the back grounds looks like an interesting piece of work. :hilarious: Nice car. More pics and details!!!

POST 5Original post

Thanks guys, here's a pic of the kind of surgery I do daily:

POST 6Original post

Great looking Boxster. What year? I have an '03 Boxster in Lapis Blue Mettalic.

POST 7Original post

This is a 2000 S, carefully chosen after serving 2.5 years (2000-2002) as Porsche press fleet manager & test driver. I wanted a car with a minimum of options & prefered the manual hood & trunk release & guage setup in the 2000 plus no PSM. I am currently looking for a 03-04 Lapis blue with black interior preferably in need of a engine rebuild.

POST 9Original post

Whats been done to the engine to get near on 200kwatw? Thats an increase of about 45kw (depending on what the dyno reads for a stock car).

POST 10Original post

Welcome to the site. My first Porsche was a 2000 Boxster S in speed yellow and like you I preferred the old manual style to things. It was a fun car and still resides in Seattle with its current owner today, hmmm maybe I should buy it back. I was able to get similar power out of mine by adding headers and modifying the sports exhaust and adding a de-snork and filter combo. My car was pretty well optioned though, had the speed yellow stitching on seats, dash and door.... I miss that...

POST 11Original post

My 2003 Boxster S has had the following: Re-tune, Full FVD exhaust (headers, cats, etc) and EVOMS intake. Before and after dyno show an increase of 15kw (20hp) at the wheels. From 153kwatw to 168kwatw. I think dyno's over hear might read a bit lower, and they all vary, so for a more accurate comparison, what was your increase?

POST 12Original post

Power wise the only change from oem parts on this original engine is the 99mm billet cylinder sleeves with JE pistons. This increases displacement to 3.6 litres & matches the 2002 996 3.6 rating of 273 ft/lbs torque at the crank if you use a 12% powertrain loss figure which is minimium for a 986 manual. This indicates 300+ HP in a 986 chassis with it's more restrictive oem exhaust & intake system & DME tune. :burnout:

POST 13Original post

Care to share the brand etc of these amazing headers?

POST 14Original post

That sounds about right for peak HP. I believe most street driven Porsches weakest link is low rpm torque & there really is no replacement for displacement! :burnout:
