Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I was browsing listings and got looking at 911 engines. I assume its possible to put one of these in a boxster? Has anyone did this here? Whats going to be the biggest expense doing such a thing and what else is involved other than a straight swap out.

Too much to explain, Goto the Pelican website and read up on the technical article that covers this issue. M

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Yep I just found it and I am on it now, my cars a 99 so the only thing is the maf sensor that needs a resistor. The page mentions that for my model then my choices are limited to the 3.4 liter 97 to 02 engines. It does not say anything about if that 3.4 can be a turbo, is there a 3.4 turbo?

What was it like JAAY? How did the car feel? Edit: Hey looking at your sig, are you talking about your own car?

POST 7Original post

Haha. Yes my own car. It was an easy swap. If you are serious about it PM me your number and a time to call. Id love to talk shop about it. It's a blast to drive and not over powering at all. It really is the way the car should have came.

POST 8Original post

I know this polish guy with one of those too!!!! Blast to drive

POST 9Original post

Why not put a Chevy LS series motor in it? (Renegade Hybrids, Las Vegas) Imagine gobs of power and $18 oil changes...

POST 10Original post

or a subi - precision chassis works makes a kit. or, there's a guy on this forum selling the parts to put an audi v8 in one. the gt variant engines are a whole different engine and do not plug/play (turbo, gt-2, gt-3).
