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.

nice. yeah i know the feeling of waiting for your baby How come you bought a new engine versus converting your existing engine? My shop guy wants to bore my exisiting engine to a 3.4 or a 3.6 and claims it can be done safely and for less then replacing it just to increase to the 3.2 I was just curious but I figure it it wont cost as much for a conversion versus a striaght replacement. Though I have thought about the way you have chosen.....
POST 3Original post
How much does your shop want for the boring and rebuild of the engine to a 3.6? Still mated with the 5 speed?

As for my reasons why I did it this way... I am still baffled (LOL) It just sort of happened... I had been upgrading my stock 2001 2.7L boxster since it had 17 miles on it... I put FVD headers, FVD sport cats, Porsche Tequipment Sport Exhaust, Evo Cone intake, Enlarged throttle body, along with lots of other goodies... I had a friend whom came across this 3.2L 2001 S engine w/4500 miles in perfect condition... He gave me a great break on it and we sold my 2.7L engine... All my upgraded parts will directly fit onto the s engine, the engine doesn't need any modifications to be mounted, and the ease with how cheap the conversion would be... I just couldn't say no! I just lucked out, once again!

JonnyBGood: I am dont recall what the price my tech said it would be but I do recall it being cheaper then buying a new engine. PorscheBoy: Well it sounds like you got a good deal that probably was too good to pass up. So if I had been in the same situation I might have done the same thing. Most people dont have a hookup to get a good price on an upgraded engine, thats probably why I like the idea of just making the one you got better. Although if someone dropped a 3.2 engine in my lap I would definatly retrofit with 5 speed versus the 6(waste of time IMO) speed and upgrade from there....
