Hi Guys,
No video yet, I will try and bring my video camera down somtime this week and grab a bit of footage for ya! The car was just shot for Excellence Magazine (SO yes another 6speeder's car should be in the mag!). We are just working out the final tuning then this car will be off to NJ in the very near future!
Best Regards,
Evan

When I was down, the car sounded great! I can't wait to get the car back.

I'd love to see the video too!

It looks really sweet, concrats. I bet it will be a blast. I would consider isolating that intake filter though, so its not sucking hot air off the engine. It doesn't look like there is muct room, but there has to be enough for a small box around the element. Just a thought....

Evan, congratulations! It seems like you've made some good progress. When can I expect a new ECU to get my car fixed?

Dave W: That photo was a prototype intake, there is a shroud around it now

Hi Luis,
We are making progress for sure! We are still working out the tuning and as soon as we do you will be the first to know it! ***** is flying to Germany this week to work on this with them over there!

Evan

Jaded,
The cost for the conversion can be found on the FVD website as well as all of the extra stuff...cats, headers, lightweight flywheel, etc.

I've had some folks write me to tell me that they have a hard time finding it, so here is the link. You should chose the Boxster '97 - '04 in the model selection at the top:

https://shop.fvd.de/?VID=39161&VCD=3...t=3&display=20


I've now gone to their website so many times that I've been able to figure it out.

So how's the project doing? Any videos, track data, etc? I'm really intrigued on doing a project like this. Keep it coming!

Mika,
According to FVD, the car should be strapped to the dyno as I am typing this. Will advise as soon as I have any data.
