BoxsterLS376 introduction - LS3 conversion :)

[Boxster 50]

Smallblock454, bc993 and JRL I was just giving props to Boxster(LS376) by saying I would just wait on his kit because he has been doing a better job then Renegade with the details of the build. I guess it didn't come off the way I intended.

No problem - I was just confused as John is using the Renegade kit and to my knowledge Renegade is the only kit and I'm not aware of any other kits coming out in the near future.

Yes, it was a bit confusing. However I couldn't agree more as Boxster(LS376) does indeed deserve the props. In addition, one would think Renegade would be following this thread closely and actually supplying more Tech Support if their intent is providing quote a "Kit". What Boxster(LS376) has gone thru so far does not constitute a kit in my opinion.

I'd be more compelled to work with Boxster(LS376). My guess he with the help of his boss might even fabricate better solutions where Renegade is lacking.

Back in July there was this thread as well but with an Audi transplant. I also had interest in this solution but no new info on that thread.

Hey everyone,

Sorry for the lack of updates lately but now I finally have some news to share... The bummer is I just spent 30 minutes typing stuff up only to have Internet Explorer crash on me - YAY! So here is the short version of what has been happening...

Finally for my breather plate back this week so I can get the intake in place... still have to make a few mods but nothing major. For now I'm just going to get an aftermarket oil pressure gauge but I have heard of a 996 Carrera instrument cluster swap which I may try in the future...

Finally got my oil pan... FYI don't order one from Marine Engine Depot, they are cheap but they don't actually have them so after waiting 2 weeks I called and cancelled cause they won't have more until mid-January...

Luckily a guy down the street who does RX7 V8 conversions have exactly what I needed so we are rocking and rolling again... hoping to test fit the motor this weekend!!!

I'll update with pics in a few days!
Thanks!
John

Probably wasn't IE's fault probably would have occurred in any browser, have had that happen to me numerous times on this and other forums. Most likely your session timed out. Just FYI if you're going to write/type a lot of info ... compose it in Notepad or some other editor first. Then cut and paste into the thread. Learned this early on as I can't type for S&%T.
