Taing it to the next level- 3.6 engine build

[Spinnr]

Jake and ffuerst911sc.

Good evening to you both. This sounds truly amazing. Respects must also go to the loveablity of the gorgeous machine called a boxster in being such an object of beauty that is brings both artist and patron together with a take-it-to-a-new-level project like this.

It is more than a car, being typically Porsche, it is a love affair that never ends. A bond measured not in horse power, but in friendships.

Looking forward to the thrill of seeing new posts on this.

I have said in previous posts if you're a number cruncher and every penny you spend has to make money then this isn't for you. On a balance sheet what I'm doing makes no sense. But being an enthusiest it makes perfect sense. I have been fortunate enough to own five Porsche's in my lifetime. Each one was enjoyed and modified for my pleasure. I made money on some and lost money on others but I enjoyed each one of them to the fullest. I am getting closer to retirement and made the decision that this will probably be my last one so I want it to be exactly as I want it. And I believe in just two to three more weeks it will be To me she will be a sleeper that will surprise a few folks. I'll drive it to work when sunny, autocross her as much as I can and squeeze in a few DE's. She will be driven no garage queen.
But who know's maybe in 5 years Jake calls me to let me know he's building 5 litre flat sixes and am I interested ? Stay tuned

Best of luck with your health and your build! Looking forward to seeing another high HP Boxster in the neighborhood... Just be careful about other "sleepers" prowling the streets of Marietta... you may get caught off guard :dance:

PS: 5 liters may not be enough

John I followed your build thread I must say I'm impressed with your abilities. Lets face it no matter how much power you have someone else will have more. Whatever hp we end up with on this build will be enough for me. We need to meet up sometime once I get my car back.

rfuerst911sc,

I saw a post of yours today and it made me think about you relative to how you are doing and how your engine build is coming along. Any updates that you can share?

Porsche9 thanks for asking. In regards to my health all is going well I will be done with treatments on 12/23. So that is the best Christmas present for this year. Second best present will be getting my Boxster back from Jake. Between me putting Jake on hold for a while and his very busy schedule I'll get the car back in January. He will be completing the engine before Christmas and then putting it in the car early January. Then there's the tuning/breaking in of the engine plus dyno runs that all takes time. But it will be well worth the wait ! Once I get the car back and drive her a little I'll give a full report

Look forward to it. Merry Christmas!
