Hi Ed. intercooler weights about 12 pounds, so the bottle and it will take 10 pounds of CO2. For the Methanol pump, about 2 pounds with a 8 pounds for one gallon of 50-50 water ethanol. I removed Spare tire from front and put Little compressor and flat repair pressurised can as they do now in new boxster. I also removed soft top. I have hard top and speedster hump.So the added weight is just slightly positive.
Best, Jacques

Pictures, suite. It will be all for today. I just received new 10 inches wheels and Bfgoodrich slicks. Amazing. I also modified Catalicts by upgrading to 2 inches ss bent pipe. My big challenge now is fan and scoop on trunk lid. It is a 1200 cfm, 10 inches. You should see weather outside. Storm with 25 cm of snow
I will follow pictures
Allez Guys, Keep on running

Pretty interesting Jacques.

Your breaking allot of convention, but that's what this thread is about. On that front, I think your in the lead. I'm really curious to see how much hp these engines can take, OI think will see with your car.

Nice work on the gages. I tried to fit mine on either side of the existing 3 guage cluster, mechanisms just don't fit.

Keep it up,

Regards, PK

Hi PK, I falled on that 3 gages pod at GLOWSHIFT. It costs only 12.00 and fits perfect. Nothing to do on it. Gauges are also at fair price. Thanks for comments. The most serious advices I had from Rolex Porsche racing mechanic and from IA is to not to send nitro inside engine. Methanol is what I need to bring to maximum without blowing, I hope. Must get around 400 hp at 7psi

God I hope you get 400hp.

That will be such good news for all of us.

Why do I feel we have a semi arms race for HP in these engines??

Its kinda fun.
With all these new mods you guys are doing I feel left out. Oh well it gives me something to shoot for this winter.

Jacques you get 400 and I know I will have to go for 400 myself.
Your ideas on modifying a Boxster is out of the box (pun intended). Which is great, there are proven mods for other cars that have not been tried on our platform. When they are successful it brings all of our cars along.

My next phase of mods are going to be the cat delete and possibly electronic cut outs. But I will tell you, today I went for a spirited drive and my power is nice and additive. There are time my 6psi system goes into the 7 and 8psi on my boost gauge, I can really tell when it gets there. The car feels like there are 2 more cylinders that kick in pushing the car even faster as it screams for the redline. I just miss the raspy character of the exhaust that I had prior to the turbos.

This winter I will find a way to get my power up. I can not be the low man on the totem pole

Good morning Gary. My challenge is so that after two losts against my son, I have to beat him with his S2000 next summer. I have Supercharger, He added Supercharger. I add intercooler, nitro and Methanol, he is going to put thicker gasket to lower compression, Greddy Emanage, 650 cc injectors, and he passes from 6 psi to 13 psi.
We are 30 years apart, but we have a nice chimie together. I am not very open for speed. Quarter miles are not so dangerous, but engine has to respond. What is nice with Boxster, is that, when you have power to succeed when starting, the same power pushes you up because the six speed has a spectacular acceleration. Gary, with your mods in forums, you are one that helped me taking that decision to do so on a so perfect car. It means that all what we do also has to be perfect. I need to have from you guys all infos that can help me going to maximum (without blowing everything) As I understand, Heat looks to be high boost ennemy for these high compression engines.
Another week' I hope, And I send you final pictures. Tomorrow, Drill onto my trunk lid for fan air intake. It keeps me on.
I added pictures of my baby
Best to all of you
Jacques

I would try to do something along this route.

I can not open images. I am not very hot with computers, Do I have to click or open program to do so.
What I am doing with my Boxster is not necessary what people should do with it. If you have any recommendations, I agree to do on my car. I think I use it now more as a prototype. If it works, you guys will feel safer to do it on yours. I think.
Thanks, Jacques

It's looking that way, lets replace are ignition switxhes with big red buttons. We probably ought to lay down some stipulations to, like...it has hold together for a whole mile or so, wide open .

Me I'm in limbo just trying to hit 300hp. A victim of a shrinking globe. I'm waiting for some special stuff from Ontario, U.K., and (believe it or not) S. Africa (no not zebra skin seat covers).

Hoping in a month I'll be taking the last tiny but critical step of putting on a smaller S/C pulley.

Regards,

PK
