I say wait and get the 2009. Sure it is depriving yourself for a couple of months, but the upgrades seem substantial.

Going past the engine swap to 3.4L, supercharger?

So, in my research for a bit more power, I was wondering if anyone had done a 3.4L swap and then gone on to supercharge/turbo it? I know some people on this board have went to the 3.4, then 3.6 and...

I like the 550 tail lights which are mostly red. I am against deambering the front cause the spattered omelet just looks bigger then.

I have two of the ultimate cupholders, and they are nice, but they aren't perfect. I ended up putting them both on the passenger side since they kind of get in the way.

Reuse the puck

So if the Porsche puck uses a different mounting system, are there other cars that also use it? Like maybe VW? I wonder if I source an Audi dimming mirror or VW if it would work with the stock puck...

So who would know about the GN mill around NY? One of the reasons I was looking at the VQ was cause Vinny Ten is pretty experienced and comes with a lot of recommendations. I admit a bit of prejudice...

Thanks. I contacted Vinny Ten Racing out here in NY to see about doing a VQ swap. We shall see what happens if he responds. I have a feeling it will be hard to find someone willing to do the swap...

A late model Boxster S would have some advantages in that the brakes are better and the power is tolerable, but frankly I kind of like the idea of having a motor that has essentially unlimited upside...

So I noted in your sig you have a 99 which you are doing this to. I guess since you are at the 3.6, you already invested in the electronics. At $25K, it is more tempting to buy a new car, but, as...

So how much does that end up being total with labour typically? 13,900 + labor? That is kind of tempting if the labor isn't that bad.

Maybe some V6 then that is more able to be tuned than the Porsche engines which don't seem to accept much in the way of turbos or supercharging in general. Maybe a VQ35HR would work... Get about 300...

Oh well, I suppose that would be the problem, as I am sure the I-6 of the 2JZ is quite a bit longer than that (hmmm, although I would be willing to give up the tiny rear trunk...) Perhaps a V6 engine...

Motor size

Yeah, I kind of thought that might be the big issue, especially in a mid-engined car (since they seem to be able to cram the 2JZ into S2000s, I was kind of thinking it might be possible).

Engine swap heresy? 2JZ?

A lot of people recommend the 3.4L swap for earlier Boxsters because of their relative similarity and "ease" of install. Also, I imagine, they like the purity of an all-Porsche vehicle.
