So played around with the electrical and error messages tonight and figured I would give the 26ohm resistor a try to see if the oil level indicator error would clear. Unfortantly does work on the 997 so I found a used Boxster senor for $20 and closed off the end of a leftover hose from my A/C and filled with oil. Seems to have worked, error message cleared and now is wanting to run a 60min oil level test. Will have to hookup the battery charger to see if I added to much oil. It was oozing out the top..

Please tell me were you picked up the 26 ohm resistor? I have looked and have not found any.

P-car sensor distribution block completed along with the starter and A/C lines. Onto the other side for the Alternator but to nice of a day here in Florida to be spending in the garage so maybe I will get to it tonight or tomorrow.

Moar please!, just bought a 997.1 S shell and am going to do a ls3 swap. cant find much info on 997 swaps though.

997.1 is close to 996 structure wise, more dash stuff on CAN.

Traveling on business now so not much to update, I get back Friday and hope to knock out a couple things over Memorial Day weekend but I don't expect to starting her up for another month or so. I'm confident she will run but I have an endless list of **** to do with this car but getting closer. Good luck finding other 997 builds, I am pretty sure I am the 1st to post and not use RH kitted parts.

Picked up one of these while in China, pretty sure it's a Durametric clone, for only $40 it's worth the gamble and will be very helpful resetting error codes, troubleshooting and toggling on/off various components. Will have to wait till this weekend to see if it works.

I was standing outside the Science & Technology market playing with Maps.Me on my phone. They database actually says "Fake Market." I just call it the junk market

Best price! Top quality!

Funny, I have been pretty lucky in the past and have a lot of engineering resources within China so I get the top quality clones if there is such a thing . I picked up a fully configured BMW DIS system for my M5 years ago and still works flawlessly. Also purchased couple C4 Mercedes diag tools for some friends with no complaints. Guess it all about who you know and can trust, but not like I am purchasing the fake Rolex, Beats and other garbage found around the markets. Might look into pursuing a PIWIS towards the end of the year.

Amazing looking project!

If you can find a PIWIS system I'm interested too!

Todd, can you share where you sourced the motor mounts? I am doing a 997s with ls3, hooked up with Eric at A&E so he will do the adapter and I plan on doing the same motor mount design as you

Dvee8, great to see another 997 join the forums. Eric's setup is great, complete with all the hardware, starter, adapter, clutch, bearing. You get a lot for the money spent. Regarding the mounts I fabricated everything myself with a die grinder and 4" cutting blade. Below are the links for all the aluminum pieces and rat rod mounts.

The aluminum round rod fits down in the stock location and I counter sunk the screws so that the rat rod mount could move around as I wasn't sure where the mounting hole would need to be drilled. Once the brackets were done and engine installed I marked and drilled.

BTW, if you do the same go with a 3/4 or 1" round rod so that the 1.5" square bar has more clearance off the body. I only have less than 1/4" gap which probably won't cause any issue but if in the future the rat rod mount compresses or wears out I suppose the square bar could hit the body and have metal to metal rattle.

Hard to explain and take a picture but see if this helps illustrate the clearance I was talking about. I guess the gap is not as bad as I thought and looks closer looking down from the top.

awesome, thanks Todd, yep just finishing up with Eric and trying to get all my ducks in a row. Kinda nice to be renegade free 😉. Hope you don't mind if I pick your brain in the future
