I believe you meant the 3.8 L from the new Carrera S (997 S) not the 987 S.

Just clarifying! Not sure the 3.8 would fit in there, though I've seen a couple of 3.6 liter conversions in the boxster.

Good luck!

I sold my Viper GTS and bought a 01 Boxster last weekend, and I have a Kawasaki 636 sport bike. The Viper was built, around 500 HP and 650 torque at the wheels. You're never going to bridge that much grunt to a 220 HP Boxster, but almost nothing will, really. The Boxster isn't, and never will be, a muscle car.

opps, ya meant 997 S. I don't see why the 3.8L wouldn't fit. It just a 3.6L bored out to 3.8L.

Thanks for the great responses

I appreciate the feedback. No, I don't expect to get SRT performance from a boxster. Just wanted to help the S car a bit.

Liberate the ECU I say and post a dyno report! But I know you're not going to try that on your BRAND new car
