sorry guys i posted from work and in a bit of a hurry
let me rephrase that so i don't mislead anyone. I have around $6500 into the motor build. I have about $4500 into the parts I would call go fast parts. I'll try to break it down a little.
machine work for block and assembly.
magnafluxed heads that were reconditioned with 3angle valve job(these particular heads came with 3 angle from the factory but had them redone)
xp hot cam
ls7 rockers
ls7 retainers
double roll chain
oil pump volume kit
ls injectors
professionally ported lower intake
professionally ported and machined upper intake(supercharger housing)
NorthStar throttle body conversion with kit
3.0 pully
custom made stand-alone wire harness for the engine.
tall stack intercooler kit along with frt mount intercooler and pump(full kit)
that's what i remember off the top of my head without going out there and looking through all the boxes again. Thiers more but i think that give you an idea.
the heads i started working and have one about half way done. will finish doing the port work for another $300. my port work is very good and the machine shop was quite impressed with it. i just lost steam and havent touched them in a while.
There is also extra parts such as extra supercharger housing, lower intake etc. stuff like that.
i have done the research and to do the ls swap with a renigade kit or kennedy kit or supercharger kit for for the porsche motors... or a famous raby engine, this set up is FAR cheaper than any of them.... this is pretty much figure out your wiring for the porsche, make some motor mounts, and make an exhaust and you would have a solid, cheap to repair 400hp 2700lbs boxster... thats awesome lol my 911 at 300hp and 3000lbs is a riot so i cant imagine how a boxster would do with this set up.
again this is all new stuff. only thing thats used is the transmission which is in great working order.
hope this post helps. if i misspoke on anything... i will correct it this is all off the top of my head. i think my price is extremely fair considering the alternatives for making a boxster like this.
oh also just to throw this out there. i made an exhaust for my 911 and it sounds amazing. i made that same exhaust for a project fiero i have with this same 3.8 motor in it and it sounds very nice. i said that to say, this motor with the right exhaust(i can tell/show you everything i did to make it) will sound nice in a porsche and not like it got a cold
ok i'm done rambling now.
