feeler on different experiences for power packages

[Ofishbein]

I have a 2001 Boxster S with EVO intake, Dansk headers (O2 sensors moved behind the second set of cats), and a Powerchip re-map.

The change was significant and, after about 4,000 miles, I haven't had any CELs.

im inquiring simply because im a tech junkie, i mean i pretty much enjoy tweaking everything i own. so i was just putting out a feeler as to what you guys typically do. as far as performance, im not looking for any huge numbers just up 50hp to around 300 so i can push out of turns more if i wanted to.
now with the STI the E- manage lets me change Boost and A/F maps on the fly, so it makes the car a lot more versatile (Especially Off-road ) now being able to do that on my box would not be as beneficial without a large range of torque.
so about that 996 Swap

stibox,

I agree with Topless, good tires and upgraded suspension.

The Boxster is very different than the STI, IMHO of course.
We have an 02S that can eat up a $5000 Fabspeed mod car on the track - why you ask...because we have the suspension and the tires to run faster corners and brake later

Also, I agree with the 996 engine swap for more power...check on tholyoak's postings about Boxster engine swaps...IMHO, if RUF does it...it must mean something.

Take care,
Ed

Stibox,

We have H&R lowering springs, maximum camber, TOYO R888 245 frt 275 rear on BBS 18x8 and 18x10. Last year we ran KUMHO V710's . 710's are better for Ax and R888 for track DE's. My son's track 911 currently has Nitto NT01 (came on the car when ourchased) and they are pretty good tires also.

Take a look at this video - Boxster 02S on R888 and me (the old guy) driving - son is 5 seconds faster on 1.3 mile track

Note: the Yellow GT3 is on MPS Cups tires. And, I backed off after he braked suddenly in a turn and I about hit him.

Take care,
Ed

Get REVO software, Exhaust and headers and you will notice a great difference in drivability and performance. After that its up to you to be a great driver.
