Taing it to the next level- 3.6 engine build

[Jake Raby]

That's what I wanted but didn't know was available.

I've learned to both say less, and advertise less. Doing so just gives the copycats a heads up about what to steal next.

With these LN cylinders and the process that we've developed that uses them, we at least don't have to worry about this being stolen, since it's proprietary for Flat 6 Innovations only. Further, because we decided to patent the unique process of cylinder fitment.

I had fun developing this combo, because its so radically different from what anyone else does with these engines. From the custom crankshaft, to the odd connecting rod length, to the pistons, none of this one is off the shelf and can't be bought by a copycat. This engine is also very difficult to assemble, since none of the components are in their original locations at the times when they are typically assembled. Another set of special tools had to be developed and built to assemble the engine, but only one set exists :-)

This combo isn't for everyone, but knowing what Richard likes, this was the ONLY way to go!

With this bore combination, things get started at 3.3 liters, but 3.6 is the most common combination thus far, and I have a 3.9 and 4.2 combo as well that works from this bore size.. The 4.2 is only available for 3 chain engines, since my R51 head profile is a must, and can only be applied to a 3 chain cylinder head.

And if I ever decide to turn the volume up, I can go 1.2mm larger with the bore than what it is now, but the copycats will have probably given up by then (probably not). Its already developed, and proven, just sitting there in reserve.

BTW- Anyone who insists on Mobil 1, well you'll not find a single quart of that stuff anywhere at either of my facilities. We only utilize the oil that we've developed, and its not a recommendation, its a mandate thats agreed upon before I collect the first dollar from a buyer.

Yep, just wanted to make it clear where I stand!

I will definitely be watching this build closely. I may decide to make my Boxster a keeper and will eventually need a new engine.

Curious, any changes needed to the transmission or other driveline components to handle the extra power this motor will produce?

Why wait? Once the engine is properly rebuilt it should outlast you. Sounds like they are moving maximum torque to a higher rpm range, reducing strain to driveline components.

Jake and I discussed this as part of the transaction. In my case my 6 speed has already been gone through for the infamous 2nd gear issue. So no my transmission is good to go. When Jake pulls the engine the clutch disc will be looked at, if remotely suspect it will be replaced. Pressure plate is known to be good. IMS Solution was already added so that will be transferred. Driveline components like CV joints and axles are quite stout so based on past engines Jake has built/installed it doesn't look like these are an issue either. This will not be a 500 hp finicky undriveable beast, this will be an engine with good hp/torque throughout the entire rev range. It will be very driveable with even maybe better fuel mileage if I can keep my foot out of it. Jake and I have discussed " loose " numbers in regards to HP/torque but as Jake say's the proof will be on the dyno. Unfortunately I have to go back to work now
