Then that might work out perfect... I won't need a core for exchange or anything, so selling the engine in the car would cut a little bit of cost for the project and keep the engine from ending up collecting dust in the garage.

Has nobody made enough power on the Boxster S to need a stronger/ built tranny?


I would have thought somebody would have turbocharged/ supercharged an LN/Flat 6 rebuild by now. From what I have gathered, the 4 liter 450 bhp stroker would probably kill the transmission quickly if you drive it aggressively... I'll probably only drag the car a few times to get an idea of the capabilities, but I don't want to be spending another 5k because the stock tranny blows... Do it once and do it right.

Sorry about that, I just came across them and suggested he check them out. I have not personal knowledge of their products or business dealings. Thanks for the input, I know that one of these days in the not too distant future I will be looking for some tranny work myself and it's good to know if someone is not reputable.

No problem, hopefully everyone on the forum is here to learn like I am... Everyone adds there experience and it allows a person to learn from others mistakes and make sure that don't fall prey to the same bad businesses or parts. I welcome all opinions as I am far from knowing all the companies doing transmissions for p-cars, and the more options that are brought up, the more knowledge I can gain from speaking to each of the companies.
