To blow or not to blow

[james s]

I decided not to...... and therefore my 9m charger is in the classifieds if anyone fancies a cut price entry into the world of supercharging their 993/964.

It does everything Colin claims it does, but I hankered after originalitry. 340 bhp on the dynoe

noooooooooooo

Your originality is Porsche's compromise.

I must say I'm surprised, the supercharger makes the 993 so much better as a road car IMO.

Fair enough re: originality, hopefully you'll get a quick sale... Anyone reading this considering buying the charger, I highly recommend it!!!

Blimey here's wishing I had 2.5k or thereabouts laying around I'd be on your doorstep post haste...

It is an impressive bit of kit, but like anything in life nothing is for free. ( and I don't mean the purchase price)

The character if the engine is changed by the charger -some will prefer it, its very, very smooth, but different. I prefer the original character, but each to their own.

Blimey - I wish I had ten more to sell - It would appear these are highly sought after - it sold yesterday

Whoever bought this kit whould be aware that the Digi-Box has been reprogrammed to suit James's 993 and may not be perfectly compatible with another engine (especially a 964), therefore you must budget for having this unit reprogrammed. We obviously have the software to do this.

Do they do superchargers for the Boxster S? Or alternatively, what's the best way to get the power output up to 911 levels?

Just a nagging question, no immediate plans to go back to the 'pretend' Porsche at the mo.

The chap who bought the supercharger will, I believe, be taking a ttip to Warrinton. The importatnce of getting it fitted properly and properly mapped on the RR was discussed. It is going on a 993 engined SC I think

That chap is me!

I've been speaking to Robin at 9M. He recently supercharged a 993 engined 3.2 Supersport.

Ideally I would like to keep my engine lid without the spoiler - However, I'm concerned that the nose of the supercharger may jut out too much and I may need a turbo spoiler. A small price to pay for 330BHP and similar torque though!

Edited to add that insurance with Asset Trust for the finished article is £900 for 3,000 miles per annum. Bargain.

Bickley were about 850 for 6,000 but your mods are a little more dramatic!

No, the Boxster S is a bit of a special case because there is just not enough room to fit a supercharger large enough to supply enough air within the engine bay. The ideal size is the Eaton 90 as fitted to the 964/993 kit, but you can only fit a 63 and this will just not keep up with the demand of the 3.2 engine.

Th best policy would be to fit a pair of cams, headers, 200 cell cats and free flow silencer, then follow up with a live remap, typically giving around 290-300bhp. Budget price is approximately £4k+VAT.

Food for thought, with the current prices of the Boxster S, that would be a real hoot
