Me in my Boxster at Sebring

Here I am driving my Boxster at Sebring on the full 3.7 mile course. Camera is mounted to the factory roll bar with a Brey Krouse mount.

Question: I have a blown crankshaft(doesn't run) on my 1999 Boxster 2.5liter engine(210hp). Can I replace it with a 3.8liter that has 345hp? If so, what else has to be done to complete this conversion?

@beginnerkeys Yes, the 3.8 will snug in there. I believe the engine cover needs to be bowed slightly to fit the taller intake manifold. You can also convert from electronic throttle to cable throttle, my friend Carlos did that on his Boxster. The ECU needs to be changed also. In the end the 3.8 doesn't know it's in a Boxster with the new ECU and it runs happily.

Thanks for your valuable tips! What about the brakes? Can they stay the same or do I need to upgrade, if I get the 3.8(345hp), will my current braking system do?

[redcarsarasota]

@beginnerkeys For the street you'll be fine. For the track I'd go 355mm Brembos in the front. You'll never have fade.

why is this in slow motion ?

[redcarsarasota]

It doesn't look as fast as it does when you are in the car because the video camera was on wide angle.

The 986 or NO boxster at all! love the sound and the touch of ''sportyness'' to the drive.

TheLion, that so cool !!

Thanks again for your timely information! I am strictly a street and highway driver, no track, so I'll keep the same 1999 Boxster brakes. Again, I appreciate your tips.
