My 2014 Cayman S will be undergoing a heart transplant starting the first week of May to a BGB Motorsports 3.8L X51 Powerkit engine. I will document the progress in this thread. Here is what the finished car is supposed to be like:
3.8L X51 engine, 430+ HP (Can't talk about the '+' right now)
Fabspeed Sport headers and catalytic converters (reused from 3.4L motor)
Cargrahics Sport Exhaust (Non-Flapper version)
Brembo GT 380mm 6 piston caliper front brakes, 345mm 4 piston rear brakes
GT3 Master Cylinder
Bilstein Damptronic PASM-compatible coilover shocks with custom Front end lift kit, pneumatically activated (raises front end 3 inches)
GT3 Front Swaybar
X73 rear swaybar (already on car)
BMC Air Filters
Exhaust headers, exhaust pipes, and Mufflers will be heat tape wrapped or insulated
Intake air box and piping will be insulated
Possibly plenum and intake runners will be insulated
Rear brake lines insulated from Catalytic converter heat
Upgraded brake air ducts
Metal shield added to catalytic converters
3rd radiator (installed by BGB in January)
Titanium Brake shims (likely after I get car back as Titanium sheets are on long term back order)
The car has PDK, PASM, PTV, Front and Rear parking sensors, NAV-TV backup camera, extensive replacement of Chrome interior parts with carbon fiber, and TechArt Rear Spoiler II (wing) and diffuser (front spoiler lip to be installed at later date). At a later date, if the GT4 side scoops can be retrofitted, they will eventually go on the car to increase RAM air and engine bay cooling. Wheels/Tires are factory Carrera S III 20" rims with Pirelli PZero N0s installed. Car will be dyno tested before pick-up.
There will be a lot of parts to be removed from the car and I expect that I will list them on Panjo. I have already listed the 3.4L engine on Panjo, available in June.
John Tecce of BGB Motorsports has been a wonderful person to work with. When this is done, I hope to find a way to work with him again in the future (4.0L upgrade?)
