Just Dyno'd my 98 2.5 986 with supercharger

Hi, Evo intake should do the job well for an intake. Exhaust hmmmm thats a tough one, you can try Che's product or do some research on ebay but be careful with what you buy on ebay... a complete exhaust is going to cost some major $$$$ fabspeed etc.

Looking at 270rwhp running 7.5 lb boost. Working on the fact that is the only mechanical mod on the vehicle.
I was wondering if anyone could direct me to a good intake mod and a reasonable extractor and exhaust setup.
I will post some pics shortly gt2 bodykit 19' gembala wheels silver with black bonnet speedster humps so it looks the part.

Thanx

Any idea how your HP boost translates into 0-60 timing?

"I have done the 2.5L SC (Supercharger) and it was fast. 0-60 in 4.95sec. The 3.4L maxed out gave me a 4.3sec 0-60 and will just roast the 19x10.5 rears. I would have kept the SC but I blew up my 2.5L, so I went to the 3.4L."

Straight from Trent.

Either choice will make your Boxster a monster.

My 99 has the iA supercharger on it.

Here is a video of me doing a burnout and I have 19x10.5 or11's I forget. on the rear.

I know I hit the rev limiter a few times but burning out like this in a boxster is not something I am accustomed to.

I've done a few 0-60's in my car and I get the low 5's I think my best was a 5.1 or so.

The motor is pretty have ing done only 70klms that's like 45k miles which i think gives it some chance of survival.

From what I am hearing the reason the motor would blow is only if you don't change the exhaust and inlet

???

The enemy is heat... and your right foot. Keep it off the rev lim. and enjoy the ride.

in this case, the enemy is the cylinder pressure. the boxster already has a high compression ratio. add to that pressurized induction. now add to that a free exhaust and intake. now add to that an intercooler. all of this translates to way more air, which means way more fuel, which means way higher combustion pressures. you would essentially be burning over 50% more fuel per revolution than the motor was designed to handle. the motor internals are not sized to handle this.

if you replaced the pistons with a low compression variety, you'd probably be okay. with stock compression, you are going to blow a hole in a piston or snap a rod. it doesn't matter if your car has 45,000 miles, 145,000 miles, or zero miles. if it's overloaded, it's going to break. you absolutely are going to blow your motor.

what you need to do is ensure you have the stock intake, stock exhaust manifold, and stock supercharger pulley. contact the manufacturer of the supercharger system; they will verify this.
