I have a customer who wants a little more power for his Boxster S...any ideas?

 

the 996tt upgrade?

 

FVD can get 300 hp from the 3.2 with cams, headers, sport cats, and ecu upgrade.

Just remember, anything more than a 10-15 hp increase for the M96 engines will be pricey.

 

Do what I did send it to Imagine Auto. They have developed a S/C kit for these cars that make safe hp.

 

St.Louis,
Have you received your car back yet? Please advise. Also, what is the pricing for the S/C kit, installed by IA? If you don't feel comfortable, please PM me. How did you make the decision to do the S/C? Did you drive a S/C Boxster S? Impressions?

Sorry so many questions. I've heard from Stephen. Now I'd like to hear from someone outside of IA.

There are no other S/C Boxster S, BUT I have taken a ride in a S/C 2.5 and it feels every bit as fast as mine. I have a few mods so that is saying a lot. As for the price, I have a good deal worked out with Stephen since my car will be his "test mule".

They have had great success with the 2 2.5 that they have done. I know also that if Stephen brakes it he knows how to fix it. HE HE.

I originally wanted to do a set of cams also at the same time and he said noton the stock internals.

I hope this helps and sory for being so unclear about the price but my best suggestion is to talk to them a bit more about what it is and what to expect.

 

Thanks. I'll reach out to Stephen to see if he is ready to receive my car.

There was a PCA meeting in Chicago 2 summers ago. A dude from the Porsche exchange told me that the engine mounts on the S do not need mods to fit a 996 engine (gt3 )

 

The issue is coming up with the $34K +or- for the GT3 motor. Unless you know of one that was "acquired" for dismantling. I know a guy that knows a guy type of thing.

 

Way cool Dave! Have you heard from Stephen yet? If so when are you sending it in. *Hint* Now would be great so you can have it back in time for spring! That is why mine is there now.

I just can not wait!

No news from Stephen. Can't seem to get a price for the S/C upgrade. You mentioned earlier in this thread that he recommended against the cams with the S/C. I didn't quite understand the response that you got. It would seem to that the cams would only enhance the S/C upgrade?

 

Untill they get mine finished it would be hard to ballpark the number since all my air intake and headers are custom fabed now.

Give Stephen a month or two to finish mine, then he will be able to give you a number. I spoke with him this past weekend and they are very busy.

 

Sounds great. Thanks for the PM. Glad to hear that Stephen is taking his time to do this right. I look forward to talking to you about the upgrade after you have the car back.

Noel,
Any feedback on what parts there are that can help the Boxster S get better performance ?
Since i have a friend who needs some more power in his 2001 Boxster S.
He has bought it with a complete exhaust system. What i have been looking at is the ecu/air intake combo that Evolution Motorsports sells..
Hope to learn some more from you guys that have dug deeper into this.
