Doing one on the sunroof drains today. Should be up in a day or 2. Let me know how yours turn out

Hello and welcome. Thanks for following. I have not done one on the Boxster windows yet. I still intend to finish the series but took a new job and had to move my projects there. Engine is complete and ready to do the install video. That will probably be 2-3 parts them I'm going to start on the interior restoration. I know it is a ways out but hopefully there will be some content you can use. For the time being, I think you are on the right track with the immobilizer. There are quite a few good electronics repair places that do them rather quickly for a fraction of a new replacement. As I try to do I am currently working on learning how to download the memory from these so that I can do a how to but that also is far out on the schedule. again thanks for watching and stay tuned.

97 2.5 engine

What transmission do you have?

Gave this some more thought. You definitely need a vac line to the fuel pressure regulator. There is a secondary air delete kit for removing some of it.

Sī

Can you send the ebay page, please?

Name of device? I have 1998 porsche boxster

looks less cool though

I have been watching Amazon and this has been out of stock for awhile. There are similar ones with the same install available.

Thanks.

See comment below

What fuel rail did you use. I had to use one off of the 3.4l in order for the mounting holes to line up and for it to be a return type rather than a returnless fuel rail.

I understand that its not for everyone. simply trying to help viewers "see" where these are so there is a rough idea when working in the car. I have another coming where I install the compressor in the car during an engine install that may tie this together for viewers who don't see the point in this brief video. Anyway, thanks for watching and for the feedback.

yes and no. I used the wiring harness from the 99 (its going into the 99) but had to install it on the 2001 engine. There are a couple of small differences. o2 connectors are different. I installed a 99 coolant temp sensor on the 01 engine. I eliminated the intake crossover valve in the rear crossover and I had to modify the front crossover (custom silicone boots) so that I could use the crossover from the 99(it is bigger). Most things have videos on the Channel. Feel free to ask anything. I would be glad to help.

In my case, I purchased a harness that was supposed to be out of a 01 with 2.7. After I put it in my 01 I realized it was out of a 99 with a 2.5. Now I’m trying to figure out how to make it work.

I would start with looking at the fuel pressure. what is that doing when primed? Will it start then stall with starting fluid? if so it is most likely fuel related. if not check for spark. look closely at how wires are routed. None pinched. check for spark from the coil and then at each plug. get back to me with some results and I would be glad to help.

You’re welcome thank you so much for watching.

Sorry, I’m not sure. I’ve only had experience with the 2.5 and the 2.7l. Have you been on the forums?

@@branchoffice1327 yes but they haven’t been helpful.

@@alexslaws ill check with a guy I know and if he has one or knows anything I'll put you in touch with him.

@@branchoffice1327 thank you 🙌🏻

I honestly can’t remember. This one is still in winter storage but should be coming home in the next week or so. I’ll get back to you.

I’ve never had a problem with a draw and the unit is powered through the factory radio so it would not receive power if the radio was powered down. I confirmed this by checking for Bluetooth signal with the car off and there is no signal. Thanks for watching.

@@branchoffice1327 Good video, however I can confirm that the bluetooth can still be connected, even with the radio off. Unsure as to how much battery draw there is?

No. You did not miss. I’m having technical difficulties and ECS tuning is putting the screws to me on parts (4week wait). I should be posting this weekend. As for the flywheel, I’m using the flywheel clutch and pressure plate from the 2.5 as well as the trans. More info to follow. Thanks for watching.

Amazon a.co/d/8BtXDk1 thanks for watching.

I left them out. They are actually little one way valves that get clogged with leaves and debris. if cleaned regularly, they don't pose a problem. I bought this car a year ago and did not know about this until it was too late.

yes it is. Not much to gain HP wise but the 2.5 is getting harder to come by. It seems that the 2.7 is more plentiful. My original reason for doing this is that I found a very low budget drivetrain that was a fraction of what rebuilding a 2.5 would be.

I agree 100% but there were quite a few videos out there that couldn’t put the camera on things to show location and size. This was just meant to help someone trying to remove one in the bay. Assembly video in the car coming in a couple of weeks. Thanks for watching.

@@branchoffice1327 Oh no problem! This video was perfect, makes locating the bolts easy even with engine installed in the car.

Thanks. I really appreciate everyone that takes the time to watch especially when I get some feedback. As for the huffing and puffing it is something I never noticed until I started these videos. So strange what you see and hear when you record yourself. Thanks for watching.

If referring to the jumpers used where the relay goes, there are 2 jumpers used in each operation. To open, jump pin 27 with pin 22 and also jump pin 25 to pin 23. To close, jump pin 25 to pin 22 and pin 27 to pin 23

Yes. Quick Rms vid then some footage on the change items.

Very confident. If a problem arises, it will be a mechanical issue and nothing to do with the different engine size. For the availability and what I believe it will add to the Boxster experience, I would go with the 2.7. I would use eBay and the forums as a price guide for what’s a good price and go from there. Don’t forget marketplace. That’s where I found mine by luck. The guy was converting a Boxster and had no use for the old powertrain. Thanks for watching. I’m slowly getting around my editing learning curve and have the next two or three videos ready to go probably this week. So please stay tuned. And good luck on your project. Keep me posted I’ll be interested to see some of the decisions you make on yours.

Thanks. Working on getting the next 2 up

I agree. Speciality tools are what make these vehicles out of reach to a lot of people that could/would otherwise maintain them at a high level.
