I'm thinking about a 2002-2005 Porsche Boxster S Tiptronic (for convenience) and would like to get closer to the power the RX7 was putting out. I would like to stay naturally aspirated.

My question: Would the 3.4-3.6 swap match up with the tiptronic transmission? I've done a light search but didn't come up with anything.

Thanks

I've had a couple of rx-7s and loved them. I have to say though, if you're looking for something less temperamental and something that won't need as much attention, providing more piece of mind, a modern Porsche may not be the best place to look. You'll love the car, but it's nearly as demanding as the FD with much more expensive parts (and often labor) costs.
