Getting ready to start an LS swap on my 2007 Boxster S where do I go for the best and most information looking for a little advice thank you

That's awesome! Unfortunately there are not a lot of resources out there... I would start by talking to the big shops doing the swaps, Renegade Hybrids and Chavis Performance. KZbin is a great resource and you could also check over at the 986forums. Pelican Parts also have a swap forum where you may be able to get some good info. Best of luck with your project, hopefully I'll have another one to share soon!

Random question on your 986 ls build. If I wanted to put a lq4 6.0 iron block in it, with the renegade kit still work? Lq4 is a lot cheaper and I would obviously install the ls3 intake and oil pan. Thanks

@random816 4 ай бұрын
Yeah I'm sure it would! There are other companies making parts now too so check around, I think a company called Chavis Performance is making some good parts too. Biggest difference would be the clutch flywheel so just check with Kennedy Engineered Performance I'm sure they make a kit for it. Good luck!

How did it handle in comparison to stock? I know LS engines are known for being lightweight for their size but I have to imagine it would be at least a little heavier.

With the stock suspension you could definitely feel the car was overpowering the tired stock suspension. Once I upgraded to coil overs car handled amazingly!!

I am considering doing a similar setup to the Boxter LS3 swap. Planning to keep the Boxter manual transmission mounted in the stock location......swapping a Cadillac 3.6 V6.........as you have done the kit/swap.....what is your opinion......could this be done without having to cut the car up?

It is very possible but without knowing the Cadillac motor I'm not sure. I was looking into swapping in the V6 Camaro motors for a bit and think it can be done, but it is a tight fit regardless... good luck!

Hi there I have a Porsche Boxster S with V8 How did you do the wiring on the dash to register the coolant temperature? I am Having hard time to make the gauge work Mine is the same year as yours 2000 Boxster S with la3
@random816
@random816 2 жыл бұрын
I added a Porsche coolant temperature sensor to the chevy motor. On the cylinder head that does not have the GM sensor, it has a tapped spot for it on the opposite head. rill/tap it for a 14x1.5 thread pitch and add the Porsche sensor. Then just hook it up to the stock Porsche wiring. Easy peasy.

Seems like such an affordable,fun, great looking and amazing handling build. Porsche boxster with a affordable lightly modified 4.8 ls, 5.3 ls (for affordability) or if wanna spend more id love to swap a 4g63 turbo, bmw twin turbo inline 6, vw golf R turbo 4cyl or maybe even a stock mark 4 Vw Gti Vr6 engine.
