I'm new to the site and just spent and hour reading your whole engine build with Jake. I'm in the market for a nice clean '00-'03 Boxster S. The used motor and mild performance is an issue more me. I love the Boxster platform but would like to step up to a larger motor and 300+ HP. Step 1 was to drive down to Marietta and visit John Cobbs and spend some time going over his LS V8 boxster - WOW! I briefly read up on TPC's turbo kit deal but I'm not so sure about the long term drivability of the turbo platform.
So, just a few quick questions. Did Jake take your OE 3.2 motor and build it into the 3.6 or did you bring him a second larger motor and he built off that? Also, did you keep the OE Boxster S transmission? What about the clutch upgrade? OK, last one, did you upgrade to larger injectors or have to make a bunch of changes to the fuel management system?
If you want to give me a call I'm at 404-435-3960 - Thanks John Hunter

Hello John welcome to the site  . Yes Jake built up my 3.2 block . Yes kept the OE 6 speed and clutch. Jake said the clutch would handle the power just fine and he was right. Yes to larger injectors and I have no clue what if anything Jake did for fuel management. I did/do ask Jake questions about what he was doing and what we will still do in the future but some stuff is kind of his secrets and I leave it at that.
