Our program supports a 3.2>>3.6 conversion with 350HP of output. The Nikisil big bore process we do would support a 3.8L big bore, BUT we have chosen not to offer it.

A full story on our program will be released in a future Excellence Magazine tech forum article, and until 4 months ago all our development over the past 3 years was done behind closed doors. The article was shot and was being written by the late Jim Pasha, he wasn't able to complete it prior to his death, last week.

Today fully re-developed engines of stock and big bore displacements are available. the 3.2>>3.6 conversion has recently become our biggest development, the response to our program has been unreal!

So, it can be done. The reliability and longevity with our processes are much greater than stock and D chunk failures are eliminated as well as IMS failures. There isn't much inside the engine that we haven't addressed thus far.

Developing the processes, components, tools and test work for this program has been exceptionally difficult, but the Boxster following has really been open to what we are doing and how we are doing it. What was once a pipe dream, is now able to be purchased with just a single opening of the check book :-)

For more info, see our site at www.flat6innovations.com or this thread here on the forums that is very informative.
Anyone have a Raby rebuild yet?

Our online store has the prices for all our engines, including the 350 HP 3.2>>3.6, 350 HP beast.

350 and 500 HP Turbo specific engines are being designed and tested at the present along with all the sub-systems needed to support them.

Our first task was to address the Porsche design problems with reliability, now that we have done that its time to have fun and make some serious HP, reliably.

Nikisil updated 986 block

JE Forged slipper skirt pistons (available in higher and lower CR for high HP N/A or low CR boosted engines)

Billet performance (rebuildable) connecting rods. (80 grams lighter than stock)

Individual runner throttle bodies for higher revving, competition engines using aftermarket ECU

Here is a comparison of the stock IMS bearing assembly compared to our proprietary dual bearing, billet HD unit.
