Basically I'm asking if the automatic and manual go through the same swap modifications. |

Honestly I feel the opposite always though Porsches to me is a ugly automobile and always loved those big body Chevy muscle. I have already had a local shop offer to do the v8 swap. I declined I do not want to loose the balance of my scion.

The weight increase from an LS swap is less than that of most turbo kits for our cars. |

I've always wondered how much weight turbo and sc kits actually add..with and without an intercooler. (50lbs, 100lbs, even more?)
I guess an easy way is to just weight the brand new turbo/sc kit package lol. Anyone know or ver weight these kits? (Ie: hks, greddy, perrin, innovate, vortech, etc etc). |

Has any FRS/BRZ fallen to LS V8 engine swap?
Quote:
The Vortech kit was 38lbs actual weight on my scales, and another 10 for oil cooler, catch can and the difference of a large radiator. Thinking about it now the weight is very high and forward (where you don't want it)

100% disagree. Porsche doesn't give their mid engine platforms the motors they deserve because of the 911. I adore Porsches, but an l33 (aluminum 5.3 with the z06 6.0 heads and a truck intake/cam) boxster s is In the works in my dads garage. BTW, I started working on air cooled Porsches long ago. I like them, but it doesn't make sense to spend a fortune replacing/rebuilding a bad 3.2 m96. Bored to 3.8 still won't make over 315 HP if you're lucky. And its a delicate, and expensive build. Also, they don't take boost, and are a pita to tune. Why not go LS

Without a view of the gauges, all I saw was a bouncy, noisy car.
