Will this 5 or 6 speed work with the EJ20 engine? If so, would it shift with a cable?

The same kit would work with any EJ, EG, or EZ Subaru motor. The Boxster Transaxle is designed to be cable shifted.

I wonder if the cable shifter I currently have/got from cable shift.com will work with this trans?

I would imagine that this trans doesn't have all the issues with trying to get it in gear, finding gears and get it in gear when at a standstill, etc.?

No issues at all with finding gears or trying to get into gear. It shifts like modern car... very "Honda" like. I'm sure you could easily adapt the shifter you have to work on the transaxle end. The other option is to use a stock Boxster/996 style shifter. They are very "Universal" in the way they mount to the car and are VERY cheap to buy

I'm wondering what all has to be changed to use this trans as I have a tubular cradle that the engine sits in from Renegade Hybrids. I realize the cables may have to be altered a bit, but what other unseen things are there or is it plug N play?

What is the cost of the 5 speed vs 6 speed?

That is simply fantastic work, and the color is most appropriate. By all means, carry on.

We are also using this car to test out a few non-conversion related products including a programmable brake light flasher module. With this module, we are able to set the brake lights to activate with an adjustable number of flashes prior to constant illumination, adjust the flash frequency (faster flashing available with LED bulbs). This is something we are developing specifically for full size cars and is not just a retrofitted motorcycle flasher unit.

Beautiful work. I hate to say that color reminds me of the Lotus in "The Rookie."

Funny you should mention that. The color is based on the Lotus "Krypton Green" minus the pearl.

Finally, all of the plumbing is finished, communication for the Racepak dash is finalized and programmed, and it's ready for a tune. More video coming soon...

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) And it's beginning to feel like having a crush on a hot movie star. Why, when it's unobtainium for me. Damn beautiful and fantastic craftsmanship. Will there be plans or kits for a basic drivetrain

The plan is to have basic kits first, which will include a custom flywheel, adapter plate, clutch kit, starter motor and engine cradle for both Boxster and 914 chassis

Amazingly high quality. Great work and a pleasure to follow. You certainly have raised the bar for fit and finish.

What kind of coinage are we talking here for everything it takes to make it go down the road?

That's a loaded question. There are a million different ways to do the same conversion as far as exhaust, intake (or intercooler), turbo, headers... I can tell you how much the basic components will cost but after that it will depend largely on how you equip it and what your goals are. PM me for some specific pricing. The biggest hurdle for 914 guys will be switching the clutch over to hydraulic actuation instead of cable but anyone who has ever driver a Boxster or newer water cooled Porsche knows how well these transaxles shift.

So we took the car to UMS Tuning to take care of the tuning. Tony worked his magic and the car made 416whp at 17.75lbs of boost. Considering the application of the car (road racing) we pulled a bit timing just to play it safe and ended up at 396whp and 354 ft/lb. Should be plenty of power for a 2400lb car. Dyno video link at bottom. Sound quality questionable...
