Holy smokes that costed a ridiculous amount of money
Good one and always good to see
I’m in the process of converting a 928 with a 6.0 LS,and that’s with a Renagade conversion
My car is a mint example,manual,but sadly it has to many electrical gremlins,hence the engine swap
The 928’s all have electrical issues,and by far the LS engines are much more user friendly 😊
I saw this video at least 3yrs ago.
Wonder if Hoovie still has this car (kinda hoping he does lol
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hmm seems cheaper and more convenient to buy one built
I have a old school sbc conversion 914 ,just the engine was 13k 9k 930 transaxle, 6k 993 brake conversion,renegade kit 5k ,, now transaxle is toast switching to 986 6speed another 10 k for conversion of transaxle! Not bad for LS conversion!But scary fast 1900 lbs 575whp! 50 year old car!
Hi Hooves. Pretty wicked swap. Kinda thought of doing the same thing if/when my 2004 911 with X51 everything blows up AGAIN. Last time it had 20 thou mi and went boom. Porsche paid to rebuild it down to the last washer. Huge bucks. Now it has 65 thou mi, goes to 7000 in first gear in one second, and runs perfect up to 180. A fresh Porsche engine like that costs about the same as a new VW GTI. Yes the whole car! So your expenditures seem almost reasonable. Being familiar with more modern swaps, has anyone done a hotrod 2JZ (later Supra Turbo) swap into a 911? They never break. 400 to 600 hp is sort of normal on those. Lots are doing 700 plus hp. Will look at weight and length numbers before going any farther. Will watch this space, thanks. Good report.
Correction. Emission regulations are federal law. Kansas my not perform inspections, but federally, you need to Cats on there.
I did not know I could do this to my Boxster base…

It’s much better with an proper exhaust it was Nauseating with no exhaust
