Hey guys....After many years as a Boxster guy, I recently "upgraded" to a 996 Turbo. Now, the turbo transmission has blown up and I need to liquidate this stuff to fix it! HELP!!!
I went on eBay and back to the original sources to see what the value of these items is/was. I have two blown (blown-up not supercharged) 3.2L Boxster engines. For the engines, I looked to see what heads, crankshafts, ignition coils and other internal parts were going for on eBay. I think it is highly likely that one could build a good engine from the second one that was still turning. I can tell you from personal experience that there are very few if any sources for rebuilt engines for these cars.
Engine #1 threw a rod. Engine #2 still runs. I bought the engine used, put it in the car, drove it maybe 100 or 200 miles in town and then went to the track for a DE. It started clattering on the first green lap so I brought it in and shut it down. It may be something fairly simple with that engine but who knows until you go into it? I also have some of the LN upgrades, the Aasco flywheel and the Spec clutch and pressure plate, all of that which has less than 500 miles.
