Boxster V8

[DarkStar]

Wait a minute here.... Your saying an Audi V8, is Cheaper and easier to access and produces more power than a LSx? What Planet? Currently there isn't 1 single engine that is being developed that out performs the LSx Platform, And that's not an Opinion. Junkyard 5.3's purchased for 300 dollars are putting out 500hp and doing mid 9 Second Quarter Mile times completely stock with just a mild sized turbo strapped to stock manifolds. People are converting them to carbed, tossing a mild cam on them and pulling 450hp out of them on a daily basis. And when/if you blow it up, there are 100 more in the nearest junk yard for 200-300 dollars... Aluminum Block LS's are virtually the same weight tested as the 3.2L. Iron Block 5.3's have been weighted in at 100lbs more.

There is a reason they are the number one swapped engine. Ford People are doing it, Volkswagen People are doing it, Honda Civic owners are doing it. Its a virtually unlimited platform motor due to its vast quantity and unbeatable performance. Performance no Audi V8 can compete with for any price. And the Reliability of a LSx... 9.5 Second Quarter Mile Porsche 944 on a completely stock block and head and its still rolling strong on 14psi.

Anyway goodluck with it. I saw a pic of a Audi Swapped Boxster, looked awesome. Would not be interested in it myself. I just picked up a LS7 Block for 300 dollars out of a running low mileage car.

Tho I am highly interested in seeing this progress.
