Boxster Subaru conversion interest?

[Overdrive]

Can we hear more non-limp mode engine running? Are things closer to being in proper running order for a legit running?

I had a Subie guy drooling at that first video, curious to see how it sounds all put together and ready to haul.

I'll put up a video of the dyno tuning. Probably another week or so.

Finally, all of the plumbing is finished, communication for the Racepak dash is finalized and programmed, and it's ready for a tune. More video coming soon...

I'm late to this build thread...but I have to reiterate what others have said, your fabrication skills, welding skills are phenomenal!!!!

As someone who built a boxster into a dedicated race-car with a 3.6L 996 motor I can't get over your thoughtfulness in locating every system so that it is serviceable. The detail work of the plumbing is fantastic.

You showed a close up of two stainless tanks, what are they? Engine Oil and Engine Coolant?

Just fantastic!

+ 1

but the two tanks seem to be made of aluminum (thick welds) I may be wrong however, very impressive attention to details none the less.

Your comment proves you know your way around the Boxster chassis and are familiar with the space limitations you run into once you start adding components all over the chassis. Keeping all of the plumbing and wiring systems modular and serviceable is definitely a challenge in these mid-engine cars.

The two tanks are aluminum. The rear tank is a coolant expansion tank and the front tank is an oil/vapor catch can. This is probably the same configuration I will use in the street version only instead of the front tank being a catch can, it will probably be a reservoir for the air-to-water intercooler system.

awesome stuff.....please let us know if you are thinking of a "street" car conversion kit or something down the road
