I'm not sure that it's more than just a stock oil pan issue, but having a stock pan on a 2ZZ is kind of a guarantee to lose your engine. Some people lose their engines on the street!

Also it doesn't respond to mods as well as a Honda F20 or K20.

Want so hard.

Yep - I would love to put a 997 S engine with the X51 power kit into my Cayman (or even a 991 S engine, though I don't know about compatibility) - I just wish the 3.8s weren't so expensive...

OrbitalEllipses · 05-13-2014, 01:49 PM

I feel you. A working condition Cayman S for $35K and a 3.8 for another $30K ain't exactly chump change. Honestly doing it in a Boxster would be a good ~$20K cheaper simply due to how cheap one can find 986 S models.

Haha, I love that fuckin line. I guess a Panamera Turbo might shit on a 996 Carerra. Fuckin YG and Drake.

OrbitalEllipses · 05-13-2014, 03:07 PM

That's actually YG's line and I'm still struggling to understand it...not that Drake is any better.

Also saw a base Panamera 4 the other day. It cried out for mercy, to end its pitiful existence.

thats the price of a used regular cayman...plus labor etc for the swap...

the only good thing u probably have with a 2.7 is good fuel economy? easy maintenance? reliability?

OrbitalEllipses · 05-13-2014, 04:43 PM

Agh I had a typo...I said a Boxster is $35K. I meant Cayman. You can get a 986 Boxster S for $15K, knocking $20K off the swap price - that was my point...since the engine costs as much as a used Cayman.

is a 2007 regular cayman with low miles
NO aftermarket done on it STILL a good buy? for $30k

WolfpackS2k · 05-14-2014, 01:55 PM

30k sounds a bit high for an '07 2.7 - what options does it have (specifically, does it have PASM, Sport Chrono, nav, bi-xenons, etc), and how low mileage?
