Why don't you own an LS swapped 996, /o/? >Carrera weight

sounds like shit
boring swap
engine is shit compared to most options

I mean if I had $20,000-$30,000 or so to put together a car to be a great driver that would be a contender.

>>17792015
>sounds like shit
Sounds better than the stock engines, flat-6 engines should stick to planes
>boring swap
Not an argument
>engine is shit compared to most options
It's literally one of the best options when considering weight, physical size and aftermarket support

You haven't convinced me

>>17792021
the question is

>Why don't you own an LS swapped 996, /o/?

not

>I have horrible taste tell me why that is

Im not trying to make an argument you retard

>Sounds better than the stock engines,

LS is the worst sounding V8 ever flat 6 btfos it easily

>flat-6 engines should stick to planes

V8s started as plane engines

its still one of the most boring engine swaps ever and no its not even that good

>>17792029

What the fuck is "good" engine to you? Let me guess, An F1 or Chiron engine or something? Grow up kid. This is real life not Forza.

how about a 4bt cummins

the only good reason you should swap an Ls into a 996 is if the original engine shit itself due to the IMS bearing and you have an LS sitting in your garage.

That corny youtuber that recently did it, did it pretty shittly.

That being said really nothing of value is lost when an LS is swapped into a base model 996. Shits one of the ugliest 911's anyway so yeah. Its not like people are LS swapping 996 GT2's

also "If you're doing all your own work, make your own engine mounting brackets and find a cheap LS motor, it could be done for around $5k." a direct quote from the dude who built pic related which has an LS and looks bone stock from the outside.

also it seems that same guy that built that car, sold it to someone a while ago and that person ended up crashing it and dying.

Not really surprising. People putting V8's in the rear end sounds like plenty of fun but Im willing to bet people who are into doing that have no idea how to actual control a car let alone one that is RR

the LS doesnt do anything special its a bland mediocre engine thats usually worse off than the original engine considering the price people pay to swap them but the owner is incompetent at cars so its what they do

>>17792004
it is disgraceful

Just 996.

Porsche corrected it with 997 and surpassed it with 991.

>>17792178
Which is why the OP is specifically about LS swapped 996s. Nobody cares what you do to a 996, you can't ruin them any further.

>>17792172
>>17792170
you know it's not the same motor except the block has the exact same dimensions, same heads
100% interchangability of parts, 6 bolt mains, etc
ok now that i've established that the only difference is the aluminum vs iron block casting material it's the same motor as an ls6 you fool

>>17792183
but see its not called an ls so

>>17792183
>the only difference is the aluminum vs iron block casting material it's the same motor as an ls6 you fool
So you admit it's a different motor but say it's the same motor???

>>17792004
Where is your LS swapped 996, faggot OP?

>>17792196
>>17792195
literally exact same motor just used in the build I posted because it's cheaper, it's an ls6 there's no difference, they did make some truck engines with aluminum blocks as well which made it an LS , if this doesn't convince you that the designation is no more than a factory sub group to help distinguish the blocks then i'm afraid you might be retarded

>>17792183
not an LS tho
design doesnt matter

>>17792207
>it's an ls6 there's no difference
Except one is iron and therefore heavier but more resistant to high levels of boost???

>>17792208
>literally an ls
>not an ls
ok whatever man I explained above some truck engines also had aluminum blocks which meant they became an ls, if you gave an lq4 an aluminum block it would be an ls6, the lq etc series is just part of the LS family which started in 1997 when a redesigned sbc with high flowing heads and 6 bolt mains were introduced

>>17792218
...

its still not an LS lol

no one can defend the LS with an LS apparently

>>17792130

>>17792299
So what else is there? The extra half inch of the centre of gravity? I'll be offset by the accessories being closer to the centre of the engine instead of all over the place

I like and own an LS and still would never do this.
The flat-6 sound is too godly to consider a swap.
I'd want to put a better exhaust on it just to hear it better.

>>17792373
Funny because I own a Boxster with the same engine at the 996 and I think is sounds like ass

I think about LS swaps but figure I could just get a Z06

Totally an IMS failure. Thing is an LS swap isn't cheap either

Hoovie did one and he said it ended up costing him twice as much as he initially thought it would
$7k for the engine, $4k for the kit, and the usual going rate for labour is $3k on the conservative side, so total after doubling would be $28k

There are shops that will do it out the door for $15k BUT that's assuming I like the condition of the 996 and I only want an LS1. That's why I said $20-$30k earlier also I was just estimating before I shopped a little since it sounds sweet.

>>17793269
actually, pull ford, compltely grenade engine past 500hp, buy new motor, spend 4k on internals to get you to 1000hp

because the LS is dogshit thats why

The 997 fixed the 996.

>>17794968
Besides adding weight and making it look like a Beetle again how does it fix it? It even made the IMS bearing a pain in the ass to service

>>17795047
Not having a literal '90s GM-tier interior, for one.
The 997.2 also ditched the abysmal tiptronic for the PDK, along with the 9A1 engine family that doesn't even have an IMS bearing to worry about anymore.

That, and the 997's body lines are much sharper when compared to the melted bar of soap that is the 996.
