I've been drooling over the Boxster S transaxles for a couple of years now, and told myself that when I got the Twin Turbo engine (with ridiculous amounts of horsepower for the 901) that I should upgrade my transaxle.
well, on my way home from Red Rocks I dragged a little trailer home with the new engine on it. It will bolt directly to my adaptor plate that I have now, while increasing my internal displacement by half a liter and adding another turbo. My winter project will be to get my car ready for Rt 66. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Which way should I go? Should I get the Boxster S automatic and add another cooler to my array and figure out the daunting task of setting it up to be paddle shifted; or should I go with a cable shifted Boxster S 6 speed? |

Well your both wrong it's a 3.1, and the Big ? here is yet....... I do run a pump and cooler on mine but no spray bars(yet) and have short gears(MSZ) which helps reduce the torque loading between shifts and keeps the RPM curve linear, I also have clutch slipping problems so dont use my 901 as an indicator of how they hold up, but driven with care i do believe they will hold up pretty good.
As for shifters- paddle would be cool but i really enjoy using the shifter and clutch aspect of driving a car. |
