If you love auto crossing and driving on track, a Porsche is a great tool, and they're generally dependable out of the box. However, they aren't perfect and sometimes require modifications to avoid expensive issues. 1997-2008 Boxster and Caymans, for example, can have oil starvation and cooling issues when driven hard on track for extended periods with sticky performance tires. Watch this video for step-by-step instructions to install LN Engineering's oil sump extension, anti-slosh tray, motorsport-style baffle, and sump guard plate.
The job isn't hard but it does require care. There are other ways to solve oil starvation and cooling issues, such as running an oil accumulator (e.g., Accusump) and installing a third, central radiator. But a deep sump improves several things at one time: it adds two quarts of oil to improve cooling; the anti-slosh tray to prevent oil starvation; and the motorsport-style baffle to improve oil flow within the sump. It's a clearly beneficial upgrade for 1997-2008 Boxsters and Caymans (986 and 987) as well as 1999-2008 911s (996 and 997, excluding GT2, GT3, Turbo) that run the same M96 and M97 engines. If you're attempting this job on a 911, the process is almost exactly the same, but there will be minor differences, such as placement of the sump guard (which will be a different part).
Tools Needed:
Ratchet wrenches
Hex sockets
Torx sockets (male and female)
Hex key (for oil drain plug)
Torque wrench capable of 7.5 ft-lb up to 34 ft-lb
Please note that if your car comes with the earlier style swirl pots, they should be replaced with the ones supplied in LN Engineering's kit (torque to 7.5 ft-lb). If you have the later-style swirl pots, like the ones in the 987 featured in the video, then they may be left in if they are in good condition.
