Looking at getting another Boxster S, need advice on performance upgrades

OP: Are you part of this class action?

N54 Class Action

The fuel pump issue is well known by now. That's the only thing keeping me from buying a 335i as my daily driver.

Nah, I have a lawyer filing a federal lawsuit for breach of contract because of not honoring their warranty. Its similar to most lemon laws, but it has some advantages. I have a "software fix" for my hpfp. They said it would fix it but all it does is run the lpfp more to supplement the failing hpfp...

Flat6 engineering, I am very interested in this option. IS it feasible to have a 4 liter daily driven? Also, I would guess that the car would be a late model 986s because the block is different?

I'm not too picky on the car as long as its in good condition. Basically it would have to be a black or tan interior, have litronic headlights, and hopefully the bose sound. I like most colors except the burgandy and some off the rare colors.

If you could pm me some information on the rebuild it would be greatly appreciated.

rcracer_tx,

The 4 liter is not an engine that I have developed for street use, because it more than likely would not pass any emissions test and I'd rather not get into a situation where their is even a chance of that occurring. This is why an engine like this is sold to be utilized on the track.

I understand it is a track only engine, but I know plenty of people at the testing centers, and the car will more than likely be registered in Oklahoma where there is no emissions testing

My question is hypothetically speaking, would it be reliable enough to drive like your were on the street for a long time, with the occasional track event such a Motor port Ranch. The car won't be driven all that much though maybe 50-100 miles a week.

I'm guessing Jake would rather not answer that question on an open forum, even hypothetically......though what you do with an engine after purchase is between you and your conscience.

Gotcha. We have no emissions here either. I have not developed this engine for the street due to emissions.

No problem. Its not developed to go 100K miles.

I'm curious, how long would I expect the engine to last? I can deal with having to rebuild it every 35k+ miles, but 15-20k miles really wouldn't be feasible for street usage.
