I'm thinking of using a 996TT engine in a project car of mine, and I was hoping that someone on the forum would happen to have their engine out of their car. If any does have their engine out, could you please measure how big the engine package is without the intercoolers and the associated plumbing? Also, does anyone know what modifiactions are needed to bolt a TT engine to a Boxster 6-speed transaxle? Thanks much...

 

If you don't already have one, you might want to first check the prices of these engines. The salvage yards usually ask $25K+ for them. Just FYI...

 

I have checked the prices of the engines, but I am still toying with the idea. Additionally, in the car I am planning, there are few ways I could get the amount of power a TT engine packs for the money.

 

I say use a GT3 engine.

 

If your serious there is a new one on ebay right now for ~26K.

 

There is a engine for sale on rennlist with the x50 option.

 

Ive seen em on ebay for less than 20k (not x50)

 

I've seen a new x50 engine for $19,995 "buy it now" on ebay from a highly rated seller. I don't think it even closed.

 

That's a fantastic price for this overpriced engine.

 

if you are looking into building a high HP Boxster you may want to check mine out I live in Maple Valley and you are more then welcome to drive it.
