I have some questions when you bought it and added the motor did you needed any software or motors reprograming or it started moving automaticly

any update?

Why are so many of these engines needing rebuilds and repairs???

So to be clear - you didn't actually have to replace the back microswitches? This whole job could have been done by fixing the front microswitch by the latch?

Woo Hoo you're just getting down 👍!

Nice going bro!

I'm just watching this now in 2024, but I can't see how this is a good deal. You can get a clean title 4S for $59-65k. With copart fees and that price terrible deal for a salvage.

What's for Sale?

Thank you for this. very helpful video. can you also please list out the part numbers and descriptions you used in this video?

do you have the part number? of the switch

what size is that 12 point socket?

Thank you so much for such a detailed video, what an amazing effort! May I ask how did you do to clean up the gunk inside the three smaller button sets, did you find a way to disassemble them? E.g. the auto/mono/temp button block on the right side. Thanks!

when you lower subframe, is it "required" to detach the steering joint? I have seen a couple of videos that do it.

That might be the cleanest garage I’ve ever seen…

Been searching for the torque specs for those bolts do u know

Where can i buy thst Check valve my friend ?

Did you have to bleed fuel system with a scan tool?

Torque specs would been helpfu., i.e. retaining screw, caliper to saddle bolts, caliper to upright bolts (12 & 14 mm).

Thank you so much, I'm just about to do this job on my Boxster, with the Pelican IMS upgrade and I was really confused about the spacers and outer seal and spacer. I can now go ahead and follow your lead. many thanks from the UK!

Where can I get the oil squirters? HELP PLEASE

Did the car had “emergency transmission run” issue or just slack at 1st gear for a second ?

That was informative. Thanks. Can you guide on where to get the oil squirters (at the bottom of the cylinder)? Mine are damaged and broken! Need a new set and some guidance on the removal & installation of these squirters. Help please.

It actually costed the guy 50k to repair he made a video of it definitely worth it tho 👌

What did they do to the cylinders? You said you were going to have them sleeved but it did not look like sleeves are the old cylinders alusil or plated

Are both of the high pressure fuel lines reverse threaded?

thank you! for sharing the video

Rockin' bro exactly the video I was looking for on the 996/997 turbo- great explanations- Subscribed!

Great video series bro, glad the build came together well. Did you follow the Porsche workshop manual for all torque settings and what kind of sleeves did you run in the end?

Great series! I might've missed it, but can you let me know how much the rebuild cost? I'm looking to do something similar.

Did you have to bleed the fuel lines after? Also, did you have to top up the coolant, I'm assuming this is the fluid that sprayed out on the video. Thanks!

have same issue..very helpful..ty..did you end up replacing anything in the latch or just reposition the micro sensors/switches there?praying I dont have to do the microsensors at the rear operating mechanism

Hi, I have a 2017 Porsche macan. It rained for couple of days and I see water in rear driver side footwell. Car battery is dead. So drained water and connected to another battery. Car doesn’t start but all electronics work. Can you please let me know what might be wrong?

Eine der besten Reperatur Story´s die ich je gesehen habe. Superklasse gemacht und sehr gut erklärt.

In case anyone hasn't said it yet those little metal tabs that look like they go nowhere are used by the factory to check for water leaks during the build process (ironic I know lol) from what I remember being told they have them connected to something and if they come into contact with water then it completes a circuit and they can trace where it is leaking from. Once its passed the test instead of removing them all they just just cut all the ends off and leave them in place since they wont be seen anyway - source, I'm a former Audi tech that was told this by a mastertech

The new spare engine for my 1984 358" SVO is a 410" Sprint Car. I ditched porchwagons in 2010

another person posting a video with NO PARTS LIST used, while we all appreciate the time taken most like to use the same/similar parts used in the video OR a link to similar where avail/bought from, it just makes your content that much better..... 🤠

Jersey For the win !

When balancing you should measure the rotating and reciprocating mass of them conrods, not just total weight!?

What is the wrench you use around 9:45 mark ? Please send link

I have a 2013 Boxter and the dealership replaced the latch micrositch that you said fixed the issue in the video. My top originally would stop halfway and you would have to hit the button again to finish opening or closing it. It eventually failed in the down position and said it Was not in the lock position. It did not go up or down from there and we took it to the dealer. They replaced the switch. However, its still stops halfway now And then we have to hit the button again. Could the left and right pillar microswitches be causing the issue or do think the latch with the microwave switch in the top that you replaced could still be the problem.

Yeah almost new again and you don't have to deal with a load of crud while working in the engine bay.

Hope the journals on the crank could be repaired or you got to return it and try another one to complete the rebuild.

Thank you very much for taking the time to produce this very helpful video. Very well done, sir.

All in all how long did it take to do all this to get your car back on road sir?

Do u received back car from porsche?

How you calling on this little tool to pushing out rivets??

I’m selling my 2002 Porsche 996 TwinTurbo on Pcarmarket There have been some performance upgrades to the OEM system and exhaust producing a little more horsepower than Factory, not sure how much more specifically, commenters on the auction site have asked if I have pinned or welded the coolant lines, which have not been done as far as I can see The car is in excellent condition with 47,000 miles on it What’s your opinion about welding or pinning the coolant lines if the car is only driven moderately and occasionally Thanks
