What Did You Do To Your Porsche 718 Boxster/Cayman Today?
Decided to give my Boxster S some TLC today and get rid of the bugs and road grime from last weeks 250 mile drive. The ceramic coating on the PPF, paint and wheels makes detailing a breeze. Now I'm ready for another drive! Looking good Dave! ****, I miss that southern weather, enjoy it for...

What if you leave bottom cover off after oil change?
Changed oil & filter on my 986 and since it has no diaper under the engine I wonder what if it was left off after the change on my 718C? Might lose 10mph off the top end but I don't care about that. Cooling is done by the radiator & fan combo. I won't change oil myself till it's 4 year is...

Perhaps I should have added more detail. Referring to oil temperature and turbo saturation. On track I’m tipping 242 degrees. Thats only about 20 above normal street driving however my water temperature never climbs above street driving temps when on track. Thinking in hopes that this engine tray could be a benefit. I’m asking if anyone has tried this with any amount of measurable success.

Interesting temps. With very spirited street driving in sport mode, I don’t recall seeking f much above 200 oil temp. In normal it will go to around 210. Obviously 20 min track session will add heat but I’m surprised you’re seeing 220 on the street. I’m in NE Ohio.

Wait, the pic posted is for the front of the vehicles underside and includes some additional ducts. I posted a pic of the engine belly pan because I thought that was what OP was asking about. Then I removed the engine belly pan pic because it is not in relation to the picture OP asked about.
Now it seems we’re talking about the one at the engine?
I did see suncoast completely removed the engine belly pan with no I’ll effects.
FYI - my oil temps with a tune stay under 200 (in sport or sport plus) unless I’m flogging the car. It will reach 210’ish. Cools down quickly though.

Yes , you are right. It seems this is a front pan to direct air under the tub to engine. I can see a benefit for more air flow across the surface of all the mechanicals. At first glance at product description, I assumed it was for rear location. Reading about your confusion in all this , it got me questioning on what Suncoast was offering. After rereading product description I now see it in a different light. Thank you H-Daddy.

This was Suncoasts' most successful mod to combat heat: Third Radiator Kit - 718
You can also try a coolant additive to reduce cavitation which will very slightly reduce coolant temps.

This product claims to lower your oil temperatures. Might be worth checking out if you're having issues with high oil temperatures.

I would think removing the belly pan entirely would induce more drag, especially at track speeds. I thought that is what they are designed for in the first place and maybe to offer a little protection?
I wonder if anyone has experimented with NACA Ducts. You might be able to install one and strategically port air directly to the part of the turbo that overheats.
Does anyone have a picture of what the part looks like that causes the limp mode problem? I wonder if a custom made heat sink of sorts might help as well if its something that could be fitted.
