I also have a 987.1 cayman s and also attend the local tracks where you are in norcal, what were your experiences with aos or oil starvation issues on track. Im on edge to take it to sonoma or laguna but just dont want to worry about blowing up the car lol (id be running 200tw tires and an overall stock car)
@@akihori I’m in the Monterey area so Laguna Seca is literally a few minutes drive! For oil starvation I went with the LN Engineering 2 Qt Deep Sump Kit with updated baffle paired with an oil pressure gauge to watch while on hard turns. As far as AOS, the motor will start to lose oil with no leaks and the first thing I try is my AOS, have had to replace just once so far from 5 track days. I highly recommend the deep sump kit + baffle, real easy install but the oil changes will cost more from then on.
@@brianbirkinbine2054 I ended up going with the LN Engineering 2 qt deep sump kit with updated baffle. Really easy to install and I paired it with an oil pressure gauge to make sure my pressures don’t tank while I’m pushing the motor.
I love when people post videos and know nothing about the car and give bad info. Do your own homework before misleading people. The Sport button only changes the throttle response with a sportier throttle map. It does not do anything to the suspension stiffening. You would need PASM suspension that has adjustable shocks. Thus having the additional PASM button which you do not have. The key should unlock the door. You must have an issue. The jack points are like most all cars. Look at a BMW. It is not a detuned 911 motor. It is a smaller motor at 3.4 L vs the 3.6 and 3.8 L in a 911. It is not a tuner car. You are not getting 400 HP out of a normally aspirated engine. The only way is with a turbo kit which is big money. I appreciate you are doing your thing and trying to learn. But do your homework. There are other things in the video that are also wrong.
Appreciate the constructive criticism but there are a few points that I disagree on. Firstly to my knowledge, the 996 911 (300hp) and the 987 Cayman (295hp) both use a 3.4l M97 engine, I was not talking about 997 and above gens I should have been more clear, but my point stands it is a detuned variant. Secondly on the jack points, I've had only japanese and american cars so the underpanel running along the whole side of the car was a suprise, usually I can stick a jack anywhere on the metal underside and it would be a valid jack point. Third, I was mentioning you can get 400 hp with a turbo kit like you mentioned, I said the same thing. My car is tuned to ~350 hp with an exhaust, gt3 throttlebody / plenum, aftermarket intake, 91 octane tune, the most out of the stock motor NA would be 370hp if you also got headers and a smaller pulley. You can absolutely get 400 hp naturally aspirated from a 987 cayman they make a 4.0L Conversion kit, expensive but the point stands that its still NA. All the aftermarket support such as these is why I mention that it can be a tuner car. You are right about the sports button, and the key I have no idea I have no idea it's never worked for me but you are right on that as well.
I'm looking to buy a Cayman s I'd assume yours is the 2007 because that was the last year for hydraulics, or do you have an older one ? Also when you bought it what did you pay for it and how many miles did it have on it ?
I own a 2010 987.2 gen 2 Cayman S and the oil level is checked when it is up to full operation temperature only, I can actually check the oil level whilst going down the highway. They changed the engines (MA1/9a1) and DME manufacturer, Siemens Continental, in the S models with direct injection. The Bose stereo system is an optional audio entertainment system. Would like to know, as others would also, about your added gages.
@@warrenlucier5796 hey! dang another reason why the gen 2s are cooler lmao I didn’t know they changed it for you guys. The left gauge is an oil pressure gauge connected to the oil pressure switch by drilling a wire from the center console rear rubber firewall and hard wiring it with a fuse tap from the interior fuse box. The right gauge is a obd2 connector so I can see stuff like water temperature (cayman s physical gauge shows it’s at 175 even though it’s actually 195) battery voltage, and it has a shift light feature. Here are the vids I used for oil pressure gauge: ruclips.net/video/Yjx2aIpxsBQ/видео.html ruclips.net/video/1uAKUhFOxdQ/видео.html

Beautiful car, what did you do to help with oiling issues? I have a 987.1 CS with stock oil pan, curious what is out there for occasional track use.

@@NukoMotorsports Thank you for the links on the gages.
Lovely ,I have an arctic silver 2.7
Great cars
@@75ocs yes sir, they have such a great feel to them
