I think it would be tough to get a group together, but if he'll sell for a high-viz group buy he should certainly sell singles. Worth asking anyway.

So why isn't this going to be a low to moderate turbo setup?
Aren't those subi engines supposed to be boost-happy or somesuch? Especially if you're going to have to use a custom LINK setup anyhow with your custom headers... You'd wipe the shit-eating grins off of 996tt owners on an hourly basis! |

Wiping the doors off every little wrx punk was definitely fun this past year. Yes every one! Now 996 guys that would be fun too, but honestly. I am just pushing my luck with the cops. I am looking for drivability and I love n/a engines. I would rather have a NOS bottle in back in the future. Or even mess with a different cam profile from delta. I talked to them already and they said they grind my cams too for about 14 % hp gain . That would bring me up to 285. Whew! Who needs a turbo with that number! |

I just drove down to Tacoma yesterday and picked up their SOHC 1000 grind for my 2.5L n/a engine. I will be taking the heads to a machine shop to port and polish them before re-installing the cams.
I say go for it! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |

Can i ask a favor? If someone has stock heat exchangers on your car, can you take a pic of the axel from the back. I want to make sure i have enough clearance when i put the exhaust pipe straight back. I want to see how high the axel is above the heat exchanger and how far center or to the suspension it is......thanks guys

header driver side complete This is a great thread that I'm gonna watch closely. However, I'd be a little worried about the clearance between the exhaust manifold and engine mount bar -- it seems a bit close. I would bet that those two items might hit on accel/decel and make some untoward noises... |

So far 8 hours spent on just engine bay, no where near done yet. This patching and welding all the previous owners screw holes, access holes, etc take a looooong time.
Tested my GLOSS black POR 15 tonight on the front bulkhead of the engine compartment. Its going to look nice all done. |

GT lid looks great! thanks Sergio.
Progress over the past week... Stock battery area fully replaced with sheet metal from parts car. TOTal inside of engine bay cleaned up, sanded down, and coated with Black gloss POR-15. Hell hole area was VERY rust free when i really got into it. Center tunnel cleared of all accelerator tubes, lines,etc. Clutch Cable Tube replaced with thicker steel and Tig welded to a thick plate at rear of firewall and RELOCATED to driver side for more clearance in tunnel. Cable Shifter relocated to inside tunnel and placed back about 6 inches toward the rear from stock location. (I am 6'4", so shifter was always a little to far from me when seat is all the way back) EXTREME LINK ECU is now in my hands and wiring will follow before i put the engine back in. Pics will follow in next few days |

Okay almost done guys. Here is my 2003 Boxster Muffler, I cant believe how nice it came out.
Check out the brackets needed to fab. They bolt directly to Transmission Main Stock mounting bolts for the weight and small ones on rear of transmission for stabilization not weight. (sorrry for the crappy cell phone pics) Attached image(s) |

Engine bay is done and engine in....a few pics before and after. Look at my nice small battery tucked down low in front of engine. Cranks over engine just fine!
Yep my welding is NOT clean, but very solid. It litterally took me about 24 total hours just to plug all the holes from previous owners and take away all the air cooled sheet metal. Battery box area done and hell hole area was solid when i was sanding it. Clutch CABLE tube also moved to other side of tunnel. Solid FOREVER now. Attached image(s) |
