QUOTE(Jeroen @ Jun 10 2011, 06:41 AM)  sweet! no GT3 arms? The Gt3 arms are good for upgrades on BSR or boxter specs because they can not use camber plates so by using the GT3 arms and some shim plates the can work on lowering the car and camber/alignment... now this car is not a spec vehicle so he can use more suspension components up on top (camber plates) and accomplish the same as with the gt3 arms.... nice ride!!!! and he was not kidding about being bright green!!!! hahahaha (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) |

I've been working on the final assembly lately. It's basically down to some fluid plumbing (accusump, oil coolers, scavange pump etc) and finishing up the chassis harness and then I should be able to try and fire the motor. The air jacks work though...

So what is the adapter plate going to run? Found a decent deal on a 99 Boxter tranny. It is complete from the shifter back. While I do plan on doing a suby conversion. It would be of more use in my v8 conversion that is almost road worthy. I do want to know for my suby though (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)
Just wish there was an option for the boxter tranny with my v8. I need to look into it more I guess (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) . Probably is an option out there somewhere (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) |

This Boxter is awesome. Those flares and all the other mods are sweet. What is the plan for the car? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif)

I need to look into it more I guess (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) . Probably is an option out there somewhere (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) I wouldn't put a V8 in front of the 5 speed Boxster tranny, only the 6 speed. If you are going to use a V8, the only real choice is an LSx motor. For that application, KEP will make you an adapter kit for around $2000 last time I checked and from what they told me, it's something like 4" thick (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) There have been other people who were supposedly working on another LSx/Boxster based conversion kit, but to my knowledge, it hasn't actually happened yet. I know there was a shop in TX I think that was advertising a conversion kit for the LSx too but I've never seen a finished product. Ultima is offering an inverted 996 gearbox (same as Boxster 6 speed) so that means they have done it, but it would require running an inverted rear engine box. If you want to use the 5 speed, the Subie motor would be ideal as it doesn't make the kind of gearbox killing torque that the V8's make. Although people use 901's in their V8 cars so I guess it's possible. I'm not going to be talking "prices" on here because I'm not a paid vendor and it wouldn't be fair. |

EJ255? I love the sound of a ball bearing twin scroll turbo after you shut the car off (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif)
Great work! The Turbo EJ's are definitely a sweet motor. |
