BoxsterLS376 introduction - LS3 conversion :)

[BoxsterLS376]

Been thinking of doing it with some electric turndowns so I can have a Jekyll/Hyde option We will see!

Got a bit more done today... Finished fabricating the cross mount and e-brake mount area. Definitely didn't like the little tabs they had so I just made a piece to go across the top of the ebrake. I'm not sure if i'll need to run anything through the top of the tunnel so I left a bit of space in case it needs to be cut up, if not then in the future i'll close up the whole top of the tunnel but this works for now. I went ahead and welded the nuts onto the back of the mounts so all you need is a 10mm to pop the 4 bolts out like the factory setup.

I also started getting the new electric power steering setup installed. Got the holes cut in the fender well and fitted with grommets. Lines route pretty nicely to the steering rack, almost wonder why Porsche didn't go this route...? Hopefully it doesn't steer like ass I need to get a set of O-rings for the steering rack lines but otherwise the stuff on the bottom is done. Now I just need to figure out how to mount the pump itself and get power to it! I'll take more pictures when I'm done but I included one with the holes drilled and lines routed through before I put the grommets in so you can get an idea of how it goes...
Enjoy!

Looks like you have got a lot done!! Gone on a cruise for Thanksgiving. Fun times!! I like the improvement that you made on the E brake mount. Much better then the tabs. Sounds smart to wait to see if you need access to the tunnel before you close yourself off with a plate. Did you figure out what you are going to build for the trans mount ??? It sounds as if renegade left you hanging once again. Thanks again for the updates and the pics !!! Good luck on the test fit.

Thanks 50,

I wouldn't say they left me hangin'... all it took was a phone call to find out I needed to buy more stuff! The rear mounts they use are WEVO boxster mounts... apparently they even have a "special" version for the Renegade V8 conversion which is apparently not that special, but has a Renegade part number or something on it... Would have been nice to know that before so I could have had it over the long weekend... Oh well maybe next weekend~
