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.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

I did wonder if the likes of a Syvecs S8 which has been adapted for 997's could run such a V8, but its still restricted for capability with the direct injection..

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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

And get SVP and Redtek to turn it into a 3.8! Sounds interesting. Was chatting to Nick about it today. Quite tempting. Bert

POST 2Original post

Let us know if you go ahead with this - 3.8 X51 Cayman would be a lovely thing! Although sacrilege on here, I have half a mind to pick up an early Cayman and do a 4.2 V8 Audi conversion of even a Chevy LS...

dom9 said: Although sacrilege on here, I have half a mind to pick up an early Cayman and do a 4.2 V8 Audi conversion of even a Chevy LS... Similar musings.. Been looking and comparing dimensions of the later Audi FSI V8's (e.g. RS4 unit), and they are a surprisingly good fit (although a little tall without modifying the engine cover), and virtually the same weight. They even have a direct fit to the gearbox as far as I can see (as the Cayman gearbox is basically an Audi OA2 gearbox, I think..). The (biggest) problem is getting them to run and interface with the rest of the car.. I did wonder if the likes of a Syvecs S8 which has been adapted for 997's could run such a V8, but its still restricted for capability with the direct injection..

POST 4Original post

You think so Rossco? Interesting. /slides off to look at 986s yet again.

POST 5Original post

There are some Audi V8 conversions on Boxsters already out there, though they're the earlier version, I believe! Come on - someone make it happen, else I might be forced to on my return!

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

anonymous said: [redacted] Assuming you are referring to my original post, the engine is by Redtek, maybe not as well known in water cooled circles as Hartech, but a very skilled engine builder. I suspect the combination of Redtek and SVP doing it is very appealing. Bert

POST 8Original post

If anyone interested, an SVP modded Cayman S got a good review by Jethro B. in the latest GT Porsche mag.
