Boxster Supercharger?

[eezz]

I may also consider parting it out and going with a newer model. I will check out this forum more to determine what kind of success others have had with parting out boxsters first before going that route. Thanks for the input everyone. Much appreciated.

I have a Boxster with a 3.4L and a Supercharger. I am running a pretty low boost setup and making about 370@the crank. Boost maxes at around 3.4psi/3.5psi at 7200 RPM right now.

With 4 PSI Boost and a better induction setup around 390 HP is achievable. The car runs great, pulls strong and sounds great!

It's a custom setup meaning that it costed more than I expected (Dyno tuning and custom billet crankshaft pulley)

You've no doubt seen this, but (in case not) there was a thread almost exactly 10 years back detailing how one of our regulars (back then) accomplished supercharging. Sounds like you're leaning in a different direction at this point, but it still makes for some very interesting reading:

Supercharger Installation!

I'm guessing the supercharger for a boxster didn't turn out to be a popular item. Probably blew up a few of them - don't know of course. I would opt for a stronger bottom end and low compression pistons to make it reliable but since a kit is no longer available I may just switch to a Miata assuming I maintain any interest in a quick good handling car - or I may just stick with sport bikes. Thanks for all the input guys.

Hi can you tell us/me more about your supercharge installation? Which blower etc.
