I doubt anyone here would tell you they think it's a bad idea... more power in our cars? Of course you should try it!
The question for me is, "Will that big thing fit in the small space provided in a boxster?"

Price wise and time wise doesnt it make more sense to supercharge the car? I'm sure that will take up about half the funds and time to do and it would be just as fast ,if not faster then the Chayenne V8.Just my two cents.

Let's see...
Boxenne
Boxsterate
Or why not just name it "the german beast" and send it out to spank every E55 it can find on weekends?

I guess calling it the Coxster would be insensitive and innappropriate?

Cayenne V8's are for pussies.
This is a conversion motor, baby.
Twin turbo V20, 3500hp and 13,000 ft/lbs of torque.
Better get some GOOD brakes and sticky tires.

I might have trouble getting that in there
but the engine bay of the Boxster is wider than the engine bay of the Cayenne. The length is fine also. My biggest concern is top to bottom on the Cayenne V8.
It wouldnt surprise me at all if the Boxster tranny's would bolt right up to a Audi S4 twin turbo or Audi S4 V8. They all use a Audi tranny!!
I need a Boxster rolling chassis for a few weeks.

OK. One of my friend is working on this:
Audi V6 twin turb 2.7 S4 engine with a BoxsterS 6 speed in a 914.
If this V6 fits under the engine lid of a 914 (with room to spare) it will easily fit under the Boxster engine cover. You actually have a LOT of room above the engine lid with the top down.

Here is a new CaymanS engine and trans out of the car. You can "estimate" the distance from the top of the tranny to the top of the intake manifold (use your eyecrometer)..LOL

Interesting concept, though.

Can't be called anything with "box" in the name since a V8 is not a flat six.
How about: V8ster? or Vster?

As a fan of many car makes and not to ruffle the purist feathers....in the name of proven performance and costs why not a LS1, LS2, LS3 or LS6 GM V8? Are the dimensions much different (I'm guessing the deck height will be taller) than Porsche or Audi V-8's? Tranny fitmant would probably be an issue, not to mention torque capacity of it. Just asking....... .

I say go for it.
I wouldn't want it so tight that I had to pull the motor to change sparkplugs and I think you'd have to address the issue of excess heat. But other than that I say go for it!

My interest is totally peaked. Please keep this going. I certainly want to know if a kit can be made to swap-out the F-6 for a Porsche/Audi twin turbo 6 or a Porsche/Audi V8.
Why stop there ? Any one thinking twin turbo W12... Just kidding I think the V8's enough.
Question didn't the VW/Audi group make a W8? And, wasn't the point of that motor to fit into a Passat? Maybe that's the right sized motor for a Boxster? Thoughts?

2 problems with the W8: like the W12, they break crankshafts. which leads to the second problem that there are no internal parts available from the dealer. long blocks only, $20K...
and why doesn't the QUOTE work right on this board?
