Prime candidate for a LS1 conversion.

Would be soo much cheaper too. Scoop up an ls cheap do some mild work to it and have a nice 400 horse toy. I have a feeling ls equipped 996's are going to become very popular in the near future.

If you do it right it would not be cheaper. Not that it can't be done cheaper, but don't plan on saving a lot of money by putting an LS in it.

Trust me, I know.

Many have done quality builds that came out to be right on a budget.

A person who is handy and good at sourcing parts can complete a build for lot less than that boxster you're trying to sell for 40k.

Cable shift gt3? There's no allowance in a 996 chassis for rod shift.

I was only referring to performance upgrade cost. Its a lot cheaper to make 400hp out of an ls compared to any air or water cooled porsche engine unless you find a stupid cheap deal. There is a nice 996tt engine that would be a nice candidate for this car floating around the classifieds

Is that right? Clearly you are an angry little man.

First off, it's Boxster, not boxter.

Secondly perhaps you didn't bother to read the part of the statement which said "not that it can't be done cheaper".

Last but not least, being handy and good at sourcing parts just happens to be my job, perhaps you should read the build thread and find out why it is a $40,000 car and not a "lot less".

Go be a hater somewhere else.

P.S. - It's you're, not "your" - go back to elementary school.

No doubt upgrading an LS motor is a lot cheaper, probably throw a nickel at an LS motor for every dollar you throw at a Porsche motor!

Chill you read way too deep into that lol. I did read your first response and it still sounded the same. An LS swap CAN be done CHEAP and correctly. I'm not hating at all, and actually respect your build (went through the whole thing weeks ago), but you bought a crate motor and there was a lot of things you could have saved money on.

But that's just my two cents.

[JJK78-951]

Sorry. It's just that a LOT of time (200++ hours) and money ($33,000+) have been put into that car so i take things personally and it sounded like you were implying I was not handy or good at sourcing parts, which in fact that is what I do professionally.

In my build thread I explain my motor selection and the reasoning behind it. The most important part of the build for me was to make sure that I could easily replicate it. Meaning that all parts would be available in a timely manner, not having to rely on used parts.

I would also challenge you to "build" a comparable motor to mine for a "lot less", meaning not just surfing eBay for the most powerful used motor someone is dumping for $2k, but built fresh with new bearings etc. to make a reliable 480 HP. Something you would warranty for a customer.

I purchased the motor and controller kit which includes everything needed to run the motor plus shipped to my door in 2 days for $7,836.79. As I said it makes 480 horsepower and is basically stock with a camshaft upgrade and no aftermarket tuning. Plus has a 2 year warranty.

Don't forget that time is money so weather you are paying someone to do it or you do it yourself, that is an added expense.

Its all good and I understand, either way the time put in will effectively add up.

I agree with you and I will take you up on that challenge i due time.

Agree, the "poop" remark was uncalled for.
