Will 2.7 or 3.2 work in 99 Boxster?
Daxxer replied to Daxxer's topic in 986 Series (Boxster, Boxster S)
Thanks for the info. Anyone know if I could simply swap the intake from my current '99 2.5 onto a '00 2.7? This could circumvent the non e-gas that my 99 is already set up for. Yes? No? -

I have no idea why the compression is at zero. Mechanic thought the can had fallen out. Again, I'm no techie so I'm a bit lost on this one! Car sounds like the largest blender in the world when started ... and then dies a few seconds later. I just want a dependable engine when I replace it so this doesn't happen again as it will thin out my wallet quite a bit. Are there many mods to make a 2.7 work in place of the 2.5 or is it out of the question? -
Hello All: I'm not an ultra tech but I do have a couple questions! I recently had my 1999 2.5 Tip Boxster engine stop running at 49K miles and it now sounds like a diesel engine when starting for a couple seconds. Scrambled eggs is a great analogy also. I'm actually pretty upset about it. local shop ran compression test and said that cyl #5 has zero compression. Apparently the COMPLETE engine needs replacement ... yikes, what happened to rebuilding? My question is whether any other years engines will bolt right on and work with minimal hassle? I have looked around diff forums and some folks are writing that 97 thru 99 2.5 engines just die like mine. So I'm thinking that a 2.7 from 2000 or later would be a better engine to search for. Or even a boxster S engine. Will it bolt in? If not what are the mods that need to be done to make it work? Is it worth it, ie more reliable? There are some 2.5's available at local dismantlers, with a 90 or 6 month guarantee, but I would really like to get the most dependable engine so this doesn't happen again. Any help is appreciated! Thanks, Dax
