Fs [Vic] Porsche 986 Turbocharged Boxster S - 3.2Lt Single Turbo 6 Speed Manual With 210Rwkw


Recommended Posts

Howdy all.

Could be a bit of a long shot but somebody here could be interested, or might know somebody who is, so here goes...

I'm selling my MYOB Porsche Boxster S 3.2lt. I've had the car around two years, I bought it as a low kms (27k on the clock) example that had around 30k worth of Porsche factory options. Was owned by a dentist on the Goldy who only drove it on the weekends. Now owned by an IT gimp who also never drove it much.

At the beginning of this year I bought a turbo kit from TPC Racing in the states. They sold a complete kit, and there's plenty of yanks driving around with these kits, lots of them doing a heap of track work. So I felt comfortable that my occasional freeway onramp squirt would be okay.

Made 210rwkw, up from a stock n/a 139rwkw, so 50% more power at the wheels on 6psi. The left tip is a screamer pipe off the external gate. On boost, the car sounds obscene.

Has a Greddy electronic boost controller, water to air intercooler which pumps water down to a centre radiator, Garrett ball bearing turbo, oil scavenge pump, and other associated hardware. Car has a pod filter located in the left side air intake, great for tripping out people with the compressor surge in their ear on gear change

I'll do a straight copy & paste of the carsales info, however if any of you want more technical info, pics of the install or whatever then let me know.

The Porsche Boxster S. Beautiful car, possibly the most well balanced chassis around... but not enough power.

You'll get left behind by your mates V8 Commodore, P-Plate Skyline drivers & grandpa in his Carerra S.

Not this Boxster. I spent quite a while locating this unique car. I purchased it two years ago with 27,000kms on the clock, as an MY03 (update) with the following FACTORY options:

-- "Litronic" Xenon auto-levelling headlights with washers

-- Sports suspension option - ride height 10% lower & 10% firmer

-- Heated Sports seats - seats with wider side bolsters

-- Carbon Kit - Carbon fibre gearshifter & hand break

-- 18 Carerra rims

-- Body coloured roll bar

-- Extended function trip computer

-- Extended leather

-- Porsche factory car cover

-- Porsche factory detailing kit.

After owning the car for one year, I pulled the trigger on TPC Racing USA's Turbo kit. The Kit is around 15+K and adds 50% more power to the car. This kit includes:

-- Garrett ball bearing turbo charger, external wastegate, exhaust, piping, etc.

-- GT3 injectors

-- GT3 plugs

-- water to air intercooler, piping, heat exchanger, pump, etc

-- reflashed ECU

-- oil scavenge pump

-- all associated hardware pieces required

The result? A dyno proven 50% increase of power at the wheels. The car dyno'd 139kw @ rear wheels before, now has 210kw @ the wheels after, running a low 6psi of boost. I have before & after dyno sheets from Race Pace Motorsport.

The car has never done any track work before or after the turbo install, and has probably only done 5-7,000kms since the turbo install.

Full Porsche / Weltmeister service history, showroom condition inside & out, paint is flawless, not a cent to spend.

I'm super-fussy and not afraid to throw money at my cars to make them ultra special.

My job has changed and now, I need to drive around and carry equipment with me, so this toy is no longer practical. Have purchased another car, so this car is not being driven and needs a new home.

    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
    • So, what else.... Power. I don't know what it is making because I haven't done a post tune dyno run yet; I will when I get a chance. It was 240rwkw dead stock. Conclusion from the day....it does not need a single kw more until I sort some other stuff. It comes on so hard that I could hear the twin N1 turbos on the R32 crying, and I just can't use what it has around a tight track with the current setup. Brakes. They are perfect. Hit them hard all day and they never felt like having an issue; you can see in the video we were making ground on much lighter cars on better tyres under brakes. They are standard (red sport) calipers, standard size discs in DBA5000 2 piece, Winmax pads and Motul RBF600 fluid, all from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney. Keeping in mind the car is more powerful than my R32 and weighs 1780, he clearly knows his shit. Suspension. This is one of the first areas I need to change. It has electronically controlled dampers from factory, but everything is just way too soft for track work even on the hardest setting (it is nice when hustling on country roads though). In particular it rolls into oversteer mid corner and pitches too much under hard braking so it becomes unstable eg in the turn 1 kink I need to brake early, turn through the kink then brake again so I don't pirouette like an AE86. I need to get some decent shocks with matched springs and sway bars ASAP, even if it is just a v1 setup until I work out a proper race/rally setup later. Tyres. I am running Yoko A052 in 235/45/18 all round, because that was what I could get in approximately the right height on wheels I had in the shed (Rays/Nismo 18x8 off the old Leaf actually!). As track tyres they are pretty poor; I note GTSBoy recently posted a porker comparo video including them where they were about the same as AD09.....that is nothing like a top line track tyre. I'll start getting that sorted but realistically I should get proper sized wheels first (likely 9.5 +38 front and 11 +55 at the rear, so a custom order, and I can't rotate them like the R32), then work out what the best tyre option is. BTW on that, Targa Tas had gone to road tyres instead of semi slicks now so that is a whole other world of choices to sort. Diff. This is the other thing that urgently needs to be addressed. It left massive 1s out of the fish hook all day, even when I was trying not too (you can also hear it reving on the video, and see the RPM rising too fast compared to speed in the data). It has an open diff that Infiniti optimistically called a B-LSD for "Brake Limited Slip Diff". It does good straight line standing start 11s but it is woeful on the track. Nismo seem to make a 2 way for it.
