Inspired. Subscribed. 800+ hp in that car will be awesome. I'm thinking of an Ls3 into my 986s boxster. The m96 in it has no modification support because it's a poo engine. There's no point rebuilding it to turbo or leave NA. The cost is ridiculous. Did you say where the kits are available and I missed it? Jon
How can you know its an improvement if the car aint finished and they heavent driven it on the street nor the track? We dont know anything!! That stock gearbox will brake in to a thousand pieces when they put turbos on that engine!
@@Agent_Clark the LS engine weighs almost the same, if not less, than the flat-6 that it replaces.....every person I know that has done the LS swap says that the back end feels the same and that the balance isn't that much off before doing suspension adjustments.
Lots of parts/money put into it, I would have at least put in bearings and likely forged pistons/rods too. If your going to have twin turbos, might as well be able to take advantage of the boost. Seeing metal has been in the oil from the cam, at least check bearings.
These shows are absolutely fantastic. Is the part 2 out yet? I can not find it. Incredible accessibility to the V8 from below, spark plugs and exhaust.
This really makes me want to find a car that has a blown engine and swap it out for an LS! I've seen this a few times and the more I see it, the more I want it!
Just a tip on the valve guide seals use a extension and socket and push them on by hand should go one fairly easy with some lube.. Keep up the good work..
Since the rear motor plate is on bushings, I suggest adding a secondary support up top after you have your intake piping, since it might flex a bit, maybe the bottom takes care of most of it, but it might help if you're getting weird weight transfer behavior
May I ask what happened to this car? When will you make a follow up video on it? I’m looking forward to seeing how it runs. I think the LS swap in these Porches are the ultimate!
I really like the welder, he's cool. You really can't get more than about 400HP out of an M97 engine rebuilt to 4.2 liters (which makes for a fantastic car) so if you want more HP and you're not a purist (no 996/997.1 owners are) then by all means swap to a simple Chevy engine. I would R&R Porsche engines singlehandedly all day long including tubos and often you'd have 1cm/1/3" clearance between breaking shit and not ha ha. The $500 lift table from Harbor Freight is a great help in engine R&R on Porsches.
Man im dying for the next video on this car. Im tackling this swap in the next few months on my C2S and this was a huge motivation boost to complete it.
Well wait It actually weights less than the porshe. From what I saw on some forums. The Porsche engine is an average of 450 lbs for early versions. The ls3 is an average of 430 lbs. Without accessories, engine assembled mass only. 😂
@@TrojanLube69 I believe it, I think people don’t realize how compact and light in weight for being a V8 an LS is. Coyote motors are huge even next to a 7L LS
Had an old Ford van I did that to . Plenty of HP excellent fuel mileage . An fairly cheap to do !!! A balanced blueprinted small block 400 About 430 horse .

Same weight as a stock flat 6 NA engine .. 200 lbs lighter than a 997 turbo engine Center of gravity is a little higher but i cant say about handling since i havent done it yet .. but getting ready to do it next winter in a 996
Nice to see these conversions. I put Ford engine into Mazda RX7. Wish i had workshop full of tools. All i had was a few spanners, hacksaw, stick welder and hand drill. And some 1/8 plate. I did have an adapter plate made by drawing out the rear of engine and gear box on tracing paper and had it flame cut out.
man i can’t believe they are putting a ls3v8 that is really cool that they are putting the ls3 v8 on a Porsche now that is bad ass i love there content on youtube
Great video. My friend Brett put an LS3 in his 240SX. All of you guys have skills and it shows you have experience. How about a big TH-cam sticker over the brand name on the lift. Love you guys!
Owner of a 928 GTS Manual for 20 years, and always fancied a V8 911. Sold my 993 Turbo 4 because it was too dull in 4WD. It had the factory stage 2 kit with 450bhp. Turbo lag was a bit too much and the exhaust note not not vibrant enough. Beautiful to look at though.
I use a hammer and socket with a block of wood in the combustion chamber to support the valves, a light whack to the socket and the keepers pop right out and are contained with in the socket
Yes. I opted for coolant cooled because it would be easy to cycle it in, and this will be a street car that gets driven alot. Given the proximity to motor heat, we decided it would help!
Just curios, from a design perspective with the engine mount brackets bolting to the heads, is there any possibility of it breaking head cylinder bolts? With that king of power from the turbos that quite a bit of twisting force let alone suspending the weigh of the block.
Great watch, two concerns, this is a 911, LS3 motor sits way higher in chassis moving centre of gravity north!! This will compromise handling!! You mention the importance of cleaning the head bolt holes and block faces, no mention however of the extremely important removal of the resultant fine metal filings laying in the motor’s oil galleries from the worn cam lobes which will destroy the new internals!!
OK, I love the build, though I feel your Morning faces tell a better story. You brothers having NONE of your humor that early in the morning. Lol😅😂 I want the shaft!!
The only thing good about Porche is a great wiring harness, traction control, launch control and weight displacement. How are you making this car better other than top speed? What is the weight displacement on the 4 corners now? You've essentially created a Mustang type setup that's going to go off the road coming out of a (Cars & Coffee) 😮
Theyve been doing this for decades called "HIllbilly 930s" ,down south they put diiferent Corvette engine in regular 930s,and they run the air inatke through the side window on the drivers side, in 2010 I bought a 9.9 out of 10 shape 1983 944, it came from Canada and looked really different then the American version, somebody had done an LS6 V8 swap ,put on really big Falken RT660 race tires on it and 2001 911 turbo rims ,the five spoke 18 inch rims. beast...but bought a 1984 Porsche 911 Cabriolet 3 years later, and my Saab is so much faster after a Maptun stage 1,
That's going to be maybe the best fastest car combo ever that's the most bad ass car all in 1 that I've ever seen!! Let the record breaking Begin I don't think the race tracks are gonna be ready for The Times!!
Can you discuss weight difference with the swap and also the wiring harness/ brain box ...how will the new motor be inter-connected with the Porsche dash electronics? I like the calm professional approach.
The wiring harnesses is a plug And play system from wiring specialties. CPE has created canbus integration modules, that make it work with all canbus systems. All factory gauges work, stock gas pedal, full integration.
As a dyed in the wool Porsche guy for over 60 years. I might just like this build.. Hummm~~~~?.. Think I'll search for a 911 roller and maybe put a LS in it. . I'm keeping my current Porsches all stock. Yep, this could be fun !!

Oddly cathartic lol
It's crazy how much of a massive improvement the LS is in that chassis

Same!
I love how he just gets right to the point doesn’t take episodes. Also I want the shaft
In addition to, wow what an idea, thank you for having such an organized shop, seriously.
Awesome look forward to seeing it running, going to be a beast!
Great choice with the CPE components! I have a 996 CPE car and I love every little bit of it.
Seen this done b4 but not with turbos it's a whole other level,keep the content coming it's awesome 👌
AWEOME! I had the Lottery, I would have one in my Drive way and go to Porsche Shows with a BIG Smile.
Can't wait to see the finished product on the LS swapped Porsche
Hoovies Apollo 911 comes to mind. His seized due to not having a baffled oil pan. LS was not intended to be backwards and sloshing around that way.
it’s so satisfying watching y’all just rebuild motors!! also i want the shaft
Fantastic video. Boy did I learn a lot. But where is the conclusion of this project and a test run.? Am dying to see the rest of it.
Lots of parts/money put into it, I would have at least put in bearings and likely forged pistons/rods too. If your going to have twin turbos, might as well be able to take advantage of the boost. Seeing metal has been in the oil from the cam, at least check bearings.
Looks like they have a few spares on the shelf
This ain't a real Porsche anymore without it's original Porsche engine.
This is a PorschVette
Nice to look how you open and fix the LS3 motor. Nice project put that in the Porsche.
I have to see the rest of the installation on this Porsche. Great video guys!
These shows are absolutely fantastic. Is the part 2 out yet? I can not find it. Incredible accessibility to the V8 from below, spark plugs and exhaust.
This is quickly becoming one of my favorite car channels on youtube.
it is insane how much I love this video you guys are killing it very exciting thanks for great content
Insane? Can't you just say "yep, liked this a lot, will be back for more." . .
I seen matt a TH-camr in one of his videos drive a porsche with a coyote motor in it and it was badass. Matt said it was amazing

Huh
@@jacksavage2612 it’s a joke.. you never heard that one?I know you were replying to the post for the camshaft
You heard him! Give him the shaft!
where can I find the next video and see the finished build? Looks great so far!
That’s impressive that’s a huge motor into a small space 👌should be a monster
You obviously haven't seen a 997 TT dropped from the pan, it's essentially the same size.
ls engines are very physically small and light for their displacement, one of the advantages of pushrod engines :)
These kinds of mods are underrated. The 911 is a beautiful and brilliant car.

I'm a Porsche fan but I really like the swap, thanks!
Great editing ...no BS!! that motor went in really nice , what's weight difference between the LS & boxer?
Prob around 70-90. Equivalent to adding half a male inside your trunk 😂😂😂
Probably not much
the boxer has 6 cylinders and is angled 180° in a flat shape, the LS has 8 cylinders and is angled 90° in a V shape
Well wait It actually weights less than the porshe.

Huge challenge, how much more weight did it add and did it compromise the handling?
Same weight as a stock flat 6 NA engine .. 200 lbs lighter than a 997 turbo engine
Center of gravity is a little higher but i cant say about handling since i havent done it yet .. but getting ready to do it next winter in a 996
The car is worth millions now, coolest build i have ever seen. Thank you all for this one.

Nice to see these conversions. I put Ford engine into Mazda RX7. Wish i had workshop full of tools. All i had was a few spanners, hacksaw, stick welder and hand drill. And some 1/8 plate.

@@scraplifedalt that’s May silly
Totally awesome to see in person, can’t wait to mount mine in my 993 this week.
I really hope you put lock tight on the motor plates 😮
I would tell myself that it will probably have to go in and out a couple times to get the turbos on - but forget to lock tight in the end 🤣

No need on a melling oil pump. This was only a “thing” when reusing a factory oil pump after removal.
The only thing good about Porche is a great wiring harness, traction control, launch control and weight displacement.
