I guess you do this anyway..... but after the initial runs do you plan to change the oil, say after a 1,000 mls?

When we do our M96 rebuilds
It's 20 min dump oil, inspect filter
250 mile dump oil & inspect
1000 miles dump oil & inspect
We keep the revs below 4k
Until the 1250 mark
Then drive it normally and change oil every 6k miles
In the big scheme of things
Oil is cheap

since this engine is already broken in, i plan on a 1000 mile oil & filter change.
BTW, vBox dyno that gave my boxster engine 174HP at the wheels was used to dyno the new motor. 288HP! i think that may be a bit high, but it does seem to confirm my suspicion that i'm putting down a lot more than the stock 3.4's 299HP. this thing feels REALLY REALLY quick.

Very nice! Maybe I missed this but what -if any- mods have been done to the engine which makes it put down so much HP?
TIA!

i think it's probably not putting down quite that much HP. i do think the headers, muffler and intake setup add a bit of power. the headers are ebay / surewin & the muffler is a stebro race exhaust. the intake setup is a BMC airbox w/ fabricated plumbing as shown earlier in this thread. i probably need to calibrate the vBox for the car having lost a bit of weight. also, in lower gears, a light weight flywheel will show up on a chassis dyno as a power gain. this effect wanes in higher gears.
my guess is around 320 - 325 based on the butt dyno. it's nice!

UPDATE:
passed the 500 mile mark on the new motor yesterday. she's running beautifully. i think the studs on the transmission mounts are still a little bit too long, though. i hear an occasional clunk that sounds to me like the studs hitting the subframe. at the 1000 mile mark, she's going back up in the air & i'll address this issue. i also plan on new oil / filter along with another Blackstone Labs oil analysis report to make sure everything is peachy.
this thing is a riot; i really love it. funny story, though: when i blew the motor in march '09, it was my daily driver (yes, my track car was my daily driver). i bought an '02 XTerra 4x4 that i planned to use as my daily. literally a week after i finished the boxster, the motor in the XTerra went south!! comedy really is all about timing......
i popped that baby on craigslist for $3k and it sold in five hours. we picked up an X3 for my wife last week & i'm driving her G35 coupe now. good times.
