New Camshafts in an '00 S?

[txhokie4life]

I'll be pulling out the engine and most likely boring it out to 3.6L?

Is it conceivable to replace the current camshafts from those of the newer models

that have the VarioCamPlus?

Would I need to change the engine control or just have it reprogrammed?

thanks,

We can change the profiles of the cams that you currently have, no problem. The upgrade to 3.6 is also something that we can assist with.. What are the current plans for the engine??

I'd be happy to assist you in any way possible.

I have foiund locally a mechanic that is reasonable and good to work with. I do the investigative work, he does the skilled labor.

I am finding out what is possible and we are working together to make it happen Some things we plan to oursource,

such as relining by LNEngineering, if it is determined that that is necessary -- the rest of the work will be done

by us (well mostly him :-)

So that is why I am doing the leg work and "engineering" the solutions and checking out the what-if possibilities.

The engine surrouds were pulled last night, the engine should come out today.

Here's a pick of the draining of the oil -- not pretty!

Looks like you have issues for sure..

LN and I work closely together and have been partners with the development of the Boster engine program.

I can supply a "kit" of components along with LN's block work that will all be complimentary and provide a package thats easy to install and features engineered compatability. This will make it much easier for your mechanic and yourself to get positive results on the first try.

We have a tool rental program as well as all the rebuild parts, if you/ he are interested. Our program is being optimized to assist local shops with these rebuilds and updates more than anything else.

Keeping the outsourcing limited is the key to compatible components and a good overall experience. The Boxster engine is so unknown at this point few know the exact compatability of it's internals.

You may want to think more about the camshaft profiles as altering them vastly alters the fuel curves and can easily create issues that you will not like to overcome. The stock cams are more than adequate for most applications and offer excellent drive-ability when coupled to one of our hand prepped cylinder head packages and maybe some added bore size.
