Here is a picture of the steering rack installed. The 996 mounting point was in-useable. The PO I bought the project from a few months ago created new attachment points using the same castings. He did a fantastic job lining up the rack
and welding in the attachment points. Way Way Way over my skill level. I just dream of being able to do this type of work. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Once again I have a ton of Work to do !

Still fitting parts, got the rack in and the steering wheel. I have now the ability to move the car around, that's good since I don't have much room in the garage.

Making more progress, starting to work on the engine. I've decided to leave the engine stock for the time being. I'm going to run the factory cam and heads. Sorting things will keep me busy and having extra HP will only get me in trouble. I didn't realize as well changing out a cam correctly is no small chunk of change.

Just find a 2005-2008 Cayman S or Boxster S, 6 speed. You won't have to flip it and the shifting R&D is already done. I think the starter is in the right place (or close).

That's what I did... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
EDIT it comes with 108mm axle flanges that mate with 911/930 CV's






Picked up a Boxster S transmission thanks for the input.

I understand all S Boxster's
transmissions are good to go. Is that correct ???

Working on things here and there, here is a fan shroud I built. Its going on a double-Pass radiator. The fans are going to be 2 (12") Spal units for a total of just over 6,000 cfm. I read that and still don't think its a correct rating but I'm going to call Spal and see what they say.

I agree, I dont think 6k cfm is correct.

Their web site shows the best 12" fan they have as 1640cfm

https://webstore.spalusa.com/content/files/...5_2038_SPEC.pdf


However that still looks like a killer radiator setup.

By running dual fans you will also be able to run them at two stages like some of the suby guys are doing. there was a thread recently on how to wire them up to have a low and high speed fan.

I just picked up 2, 12 inch fans and as we suspected the 3k cfm was an incorrect value. I bought Spal # 30103202 which are rated at 1800 cfm each. That rating is a general value based on zero drag so to speak. I shopped around and found them as high as $225 each but found them on line at THMotorsports for $150 each. Expensive units for sure but Spal are quality parts.

Having the support braces welded in make it a bit harder to fit the radiator. I ended up making my radiator shroud and insolated mounts. Below is a few pictures.

Waiting for my cooling fans to arrive so I mounted the Toyota MR2 electric power steering pump. I used the same pump in my (sold) V8 914 and it worked great. In this case the steering system was built by German engineers (996) not by me in my 1 car garage (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

I'm sorry to hear about your black car burning. That had to suck.
You completely scored on this car (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) WOW! Somehow it's all working out just fine. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

My fans arrived and I cut out the holes in the aluminum shroud. The two large relays
I'm going to use one for the 2 fans and 1 to run the power steering pump. I have to wire them into a new part of the cars electrical system. I'm going to setup a heavy power distribution center up front. Since I don't have room to place the battery in front I'm going to run a large long battery cable from the battery in the rear up front close to the fans and power steering pump relays. I want to make sure there's no or little amperage loss feeding these high electrical consumer's. I chose a 140 amp CS alternator to power the car. The rest of the car is going to use LED lights to lessen the load on my 45 year old wiring. Considering what happened to my Black 914 V8 car which burned up due to an electrical fire.
