Been a while since I've posted. I don't see any of the usuals anymore. JohnnyDanger is gone. Particlewave and madmods/Fred still around?

The 3.8 has been in, and I've been driving it for a while. It's just using a bench flash right now, so it desperately needs a programmable tune. It runs very rich. Still, it is very fast! I can keep up with C5 Z06s up until 80mph, where they just pull away :( Not bad for a base Boxster :D

How is everyone? Anything cool I should be looking at?

Fred is still here making our cars look new and Particlewave is still here saving everyone who has a problem.

what are this DRLs you put on?
They look great]
Added additional fogs as well?

Welcome back! Cars looking good. Maybe with the right tune you will be able to hang a bit longer with the Z06. Damn good considering the Z06 still has about 50 to 70 hp advantage.

How did the install go? Have you figured out how to get it to pass smog? No CEL and you should be good unless they figure out the change. A stock looking and sounding exhaust should keep you under the radar.

I'm using FabSpeed headers and TopSpeed Test Pipes/Muffler with High Flow Magnaflow cats. There is no drone anymore with these headers, and it sounds tremendous. Absolute ear porn. No video I've recorded has done it justice.

WHP is 318 on bench flash, and it has no CELs, so OBD2 checks go just fine.

The DRLS are from the Porsche 997TT. My car's front bumper is a modified TechArt bumper. It also gave me additional fogs.

The headlights are a one-off, courtesy of Fred and Particlewave.

Welcome back! Post up some info about that 3.8, eh?

Crono0001 08-18-2015 12:12 PM

It's an M96 sleeved to 3.8, I believe from a 996. Carillo rods, JE pistons, running 11:1 compression. Heads are modified 3.4 996 heads. Using EVOMotorsports intake and Fabspeed headers. The thing sounds really, really good. The torque is amazing. I'll post up dyno sheets when I get it re-tuned.

It's not scary crazy fast, but it feels just right.

Pdwight 08-18-2015 06:07 PM

Wow
 
Sounds like the perfect engine for a Boxster....we always want more...but that sounds just about right
