Boxster Performance Engine Options

[jamiehjr]

Ahhhhh.....now I understand the mystique of the GT3. Read a little about it on the internet. THAT is the engine I want in a Boxster.

So.....Can someone race prep a 3.6 to run in the upper stratosphere of RPM and fit in a Boxster? How about OBDII emission legal too?

Who are the tuners that get 450 horsepower out of a naturally aspirated race 3.6?

Thanks!

lol..no those 450hp engines aren't OBD compliant. The 3.2L with basic bolt-ons can't even pass emmisions.

It is really not that hard to get 100hp per liter. What some people forget is that almost every car that has hit that achievement is getting measured at the crank just like the GT3 and pretty much every Honda type R since at least 2000.

These guys are pretty good if you have the dough.

Is there a tuner for Porsche engines with custom grind camshafts installed in Boxsters? What are the prices of conversions, engine build-ups?

Yes.. He is presented and accounted for :-)

Yeah I hear ya...it would take some extreme tuning, work, and money but 320hp could be milked out of the 3.2L. With say Dansk headers,cats, exhaust, intake work, and extensive dyno work with an expert tweeking the ECU 290-300hp is about the limit with the bolt-on mods

.

We use the 3.2 base to go to 3.4,3.5 and 3.6 liters. 340HP from our 3.2>3.6 combination thus far.

I am assembling a 3.6 based FSI modified 3.8 liter X 51 engine now. Detuned this one has a target of 425HP at the flywheel.

It's possible to get 100hp/liter on a the flat 6 if you have the dough to do it.

Its actually not much more than a stock updated rebuild using our processes and components. Read more about it in the next issue of Excellence Magazine in the "Tech Forum".. The article features our work of innovative-ly redesigning the M96 engine to be something it never was from the factory.
