Hey. I live in Germany and know a few Porsche drivers here...and I've shown them your project a few times...and I'd say...they hate what you've done with the Porsche 😄...me as a Honda fan love it 🥰 ! ! ! Thanks for this fun👍🤙! ! !

[@Vgk36]

Hey I’m visiting Berlin in a month any cool car spots in Berlin ? 1:09

[@Richard-Reloaded]

Fugg em

[@dmejia610]

I don’t trust Porsche in terms of reliability, but seeing one with a Honda engine on it makes me want one😂

[@dacat8171]

Agree. Best regards from Germany

[@peanutbutterpadre1519]

Very Honda boi of you to paint the valve cover highlighter green 😂

[@chrishenry571]

Let's go! Can't wait for the Boxster/Cayman version!

[@kovacspis]

Hey Nick, sad to not see another video by you for quite some time now, hope you'll upload soon. Even if it's some minor tweaking, driving around, trackday footage, whatever you wish.

[@Andrew-vd2ko]

Nick, can we PLEASE get a update, I miss your videos... also Kyle has a problem with Cayman engine (guess it's almost time for covert over to a k20a)???? I hope you are good and well...

[@jonaspareja]

Can’t wait for Kyle to start his yellow PORCHE K SWAP build! Honda bois Unite….🐌🐌 👌🏽

[@chrishenry571]

I've dropped comments on his videos, he could easily build a K swap and take all records on quickest quarter mile Cayman. If the MR2 can do a 7, then so can this!

[@kanekenwright6963]

We are all waiting for it. Would be epic. Love the boosted boys channel

[@PHLster]

This makes a ton of sense and has a lot of appeal. And the ability to cleanly and reliably reproduce this is potentially going to save or extend the life of quite a few aging Porsches over the coming years. An interior with elements unique to these K swapped cars could also make them really exceptional.

[@ruirodrigues9122]

14:18 Coatings 85...big client of my machining shop. Nice work though. I'd definitely look out for blown engine Porsches if this kit makes it to production.

[@robstaccs6128]

YES!!! new K997 content!!!!

[@chrishenry571]

3 months ago? Nick cmon, give us an update!

[@kc510]

It’s cool to see the BTS on these things. Major motivation to get a garage I can do one of these in. Looking forward to that upcoming dyno.

[@desmomotodesmomoto2033]

Can't wait till next video!

[@I999-g2s]

As best I can tell (on a video), that is super smooth and very sweet!

[@jefffernandez6679]

Nice work! Hopefully you can drive one back to a FL or meet up and drive the dragon soon 🙌🏼

[@Section501K]

Awesome update and good edit!

[@trevorhenggeler4875]

Stoked to see this, I’m loving the progress you’ve made on this project and I can’t wait to see the development stages for a kit for all of this 🤩

[@mikedeans7228]

Nick, a lot of sweat equity to build a harness for this new Link ecu. What are the advantages of the Link versus the previous ecu? There must be a good reason to spend the extra $ and time building this harness. Cheers from Ottawa

[@tekniq511]

From what I understand - he was running a Syvecs ECU prior, which is way overkill (as he sounds like he had that one that goes for over $10K USD). The Link ECU package is a way more cost effective option, which Nick is planning to market his swap package to a wider audience while keeping the overall price point in mind.

[@bitzer8722]

The link is thousands of dollars less expensive as opposed to the syvecs. This is due to the syvecs having multiple advanced abilities that are not necessary for this kit he is preparing. So he is spending the time to swap to save everyone in his footsteps.

[@chrishenry571]

But why not Haltech or Fuel Tech or Holley or Hondata? Link doesn't even have a k24 ECU on their website. What's the support going to be like?

[@plugzmusic]

Nick yuh nad nuh bumboclaaaaaaaaaaat

[@CP2Ty]

Hey man this is unrelated to the video but your the only other KZbinr I’ve seen interact with the KZbinr Milan Mastracci I remember you did some tuning for his 9th gen civic awhile back but anyways many people including myself have gone back on his videos asking where he’s been. He hasn’t uploaded since January of last year. I’ve seen a few comments saying he passed away but, those I take as hear say. just wondering if he’s well or not. Thanks.

[@derekpaisley620]

Brilliant work

[@HondAcura111]

Miss the videos Nick

[@JRs-Garage]

Are you still going to do the Boxster K Swap ?

[@chrishenry571]

Nick, have you reached out to Fuel Tech, Haltech, Hondata, etc on whether they want to support this kit? I'd really love to be able to run a tried and true, non-outrageously priced ECU on my Boxster conversion. Link doesn't even have a K24 ECU on their website. I don't see any prices on their website, so that's not ideal. What are we getting into with your kit? We don't know. If you had Holley or Fuel Tech, or another known entity I'd feel better that I could get support on my K24.

[@yiwu7299]

Nick, thank you for the video. Any interest to build a twin turbo with the K24 engine on a wide body 997 C4/s? With the Honda power and tuning should be easy to get to 550 hp

[@yiwu7299]

Another thought is if the kit is compateible with the K20C used in the FK2, FK8, and FL5 (also the new DE5) with Hondata and big turbo, this build will be sick

[@Fishi413]

My question is theoretically I could use that adapter in an a4 since th dq is in 2.0t format…

[@gosh.o505]

Its a 911 k-rrera 😂

[@ramonmv17]

In spanish that literally sounds like carrera

[@Vivianauxito]

How can we contact you for a tool review? We produce LEDS for auto

[@MatTheDragon]

love your car but have few questions if dont mind does the engine heat and fan setup ? how do you change the engine oil for service ?

[@MatTheDragon]

do you need to drop the engine every time to fix an issue ?

[@patrickstarr87]

Woohoo!!!🤙🏻

[@ManDown-s4v]

Why not planted sideways? Like the old nsx

[@kumakaroshi117]

Nice

[@rjaybruhh]

*_Made the Porsche 10x more reliable 😆_* Even sounds better 🥹

[@dove187]

Whats the update on the kit?

[@verginsergin]

Are you selling this thing?

[@DylGon_K24]

Hi how much to 24 swap my ep3 😅

[@wgrantbaileybailey3]

Appreciate the video. Next time drive that fuckn thing like you stole it. Talking to a minimum just ripping! Thanks

[@chadlegaultgmail]

Awesome!
