2003 Boxster Engine Blew Up

[DWBOX2000]

Sorry to hear. That blows.

If you put a positive spin on it, you can upgrade to a 911 motor or even a non porsche engine.

Best of luck with whatever you decide.

So, I was thinking that same frame of thinking - i have a 2003 boxster - can i put a 911 engine on it? maybe a2009 or higher or is there a limit to what engine will fit on a 2003 boxster. how do i find that out?

Because the later cars are DFI, the entire fuel system, not to mention the electronics, are totally different, so you really do not want to attempt that as it would quickly become a one-off money pit. You would want to stay with an 03-04 engine.
