Just buy a Prosche, it already has a Boxer pushed as far back as possible.

Unless you tell us what species of monkey and pics of you being bitten we couldn't possibly tell you which intake is best.

It might be a worthwhile thing for the turbo guys, to create some breathing space behind the radiator but for an NA setup I can't see the result being worth the trouble.

![]() What makes you think you are going to Engineer a better handling car? Have you (or anyone) done any simulations based on moving the engine? Show me balance, stability, grip and response graphs with the engine in different locations and I might believe what some of these engine swappers think... probably not though. |

But for all-out performance, I would guess a 50/50 setup would be faster because of how much weight you can transfer to the drive wheels on exit. Also better braking. With low-output cars like ours though, it probably doesn't matter as much. Quote:

Extreme but excellent example: [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_INdbXMqsw"]Track Test: Nissan DeltaWing Driven At Road Atlanta -- /CHRIS HARRIS ON CARS - YouTube[/ame] The explanation starts at 6.50 Given that the 3 variants (BRZ/86/FR-S) all have different f/r spring rate ratios the optimum distribution hypothesis is immediately dismissed.

Like you, I also suspect (although haven't seen it quantified) that a moderate rearward balance would be even better for pure performance. Something like the Cayman's 46/54 or even the Carrera's 38/62. You get: - more even weight distribution under braking - more rearward weight distribution under acceleration - less weight upfront for better turn-in The main downside I see is, if the rear end did let go, it would be a wild ride, as it was with the old 911's. But that might more specifically be a function of the polar moment of inertia rather than weight distribution. If you could centralize the weight sufficiently, you could minimize this downside.
