and what engine swap would you recommend for a 2002 Boxster S?
Would a 3.4L swap feel any better??? I mean from 3.2L to 3.4L there is not much displacement difference.

Besides I have heard that these engines swaps from 996 into the boxster are some what restricted, as the intake has to be changed from the original 996 car to the boxster (look at the air intake filter on a 996 and compare that to the boxster filter. The boxster filter is a lot smaller than the 996 filter, this means that less air will go through the engine, therefore less HP or at least a few less Hp than the 996).

So, it would make sense to me that if you are spending already a lot of money, you might as well get the best out of it, like a 3.6L swap from a late 996.

I know there are some issues with the e-gas and non e-gas engines.

Which cars are again e-gas and non-egas???

So back to my original question, what engine would you recommend for the 2002 boxster S???

and like I said, batmanboxster, I would recommend the biggest engine displacement you can afford!!! Remember there is no compromise for displacement!!!!!!
