Boxster V8

BoxsterLS376, Thank you! Maybe its just me, since I've done chevy swaps on Fords. Big Turbo 4cyl Mitsubishi Swaps on Geo Metros and built cars with drag slicks up to caged toys with 44" Tires, beadlocks and 1 tons. Fab work isn't something new to me. And I've followed your entire build and the cutting you've done is minor! A lil fitment cutting and a new cover and its in.

I do agree with BC, the Renegade "Kit" is a hack. But its pretty well built.

350whp... Enough.... Hardly but to each their own.

I'm not against this proposition. I'm actually highly interested in seeing it grow. Porsche Performance just isn't reasonable. There is no logic in spending a ton of money for hardly any gain when there are options for spending less for more gain.

Like BoxsterLS376 Said, he went the WAYYY expensive route. 8 Grand For only 480hp, But he got a warranty (ehh, not bad). I love his build and hope to speak to him soon regarding my swap. (Yeah you still haven't responded to me on youtube :'( lol) But as I said earlier, Junkyard 5.3L Cast Iron (80lbs heavier than the aluminum block) or 5.3L Aluminum LS Engines, can produce 450whp with no turbo on them. People are doing it every day in old muscle cars by cam, head work, and some tuning. And thats daily driven reliable. You can pickup Stock LS1's with Transmission, Harness and ECU these days for 1200 bucks from Trans Ams, Camaro's, GTO's.

The reason were arguing the fact, is because say you do fail.... Its not that big of a deal. As I've stated a few times, I've been in the car world, building cars that is... for quite some time. Things can go wrong. How much is it to fix said wrong, with which motor. I can think of a few other engines that can produce 1000hp, save TONS of space and are a dime a dozen in the world, But reliable.... Not soo much. Can be! But risky.
