Judging from your costs of about 2 grand for the conversion, and I take a guess at the car costing say 4 grand, you have a 6 grand Boxster, what a good deal! You might even be eating them new fangled Boxsters for lunch if they want to race you. You should have at least as much power, and maybe 30% less wieght. That equals one faster car, and one that can handle quicker, all for 6 grand.
Great job. I hope you can photographically document your car on this posting some more, any underside shots? (No I not a pervert!) I appears you have the radiator in the location that once was for the fan on the type IV engine, is that correct? |

yes your correct, the radiator is in front of the motor. here is my radiator thread, it shows pics of the radiator support frame and shrouding.
as for boxters they have 80 more hp than i do, but i have them with weight. i will have between 170 to 180 hp when all said and done. on last thing, my car is a 2300 dollar ebay car, that needed a paint job, at the time it was almost rust free, on the surface, i have a few spots i need to fix. |

Any idea how hard this conversion would be if it had to be smog legal? It seems like it just needs the cats and everything else is already there?

not too hard they do em with the vanagons. as i found out the stock exhaust will not work, the cats become another issue. i did figure out how to do it but the exhaust would cost a couple of hundred alone. but as you said everything else is there and not too bad to do. |
