@RingerRacing Good question! Boxsters are often used for racing with terrific success. There are hundreds of Spec Boxsters all over the world used in SCCA, NASA, WRL, Champ, and many other racing series. They have proven their ability to handle track rubber in racing applications! Regarding oil delivery... The LS aftermarket had many excellent solutions to insure stable oil pressure. Our road race pan, for one, has trap doors AND a proper windage tray. Adding an Accu-sump would add to your pressure stability. So, yes! We also see great oil delivery reliability!
What’s the 0-60 on that? I’m building one but I wanna know what’s to much hp and I’m trying to experiment that way I get the perfect balanced weight to hp ratio
@nathanielbeltran7416 Not sure. We don't do drag racing with these cars much. Track events and racing on continous road race circuits is what we do. Sorry...
I've been a fan of 914 v8 conversions for a long time and owned 2 of them back in the late 1990's. Both were home-grown jobs with Kennedy engineering components and used the original transaxles thus needing to avoid 1st gear. I had read about Renegade and was impressed with their work before the advent of youtube came along. Our 1st car was a driver when I bought it and had a basically stock 283 engine which made it fun and driveable, Sold it and decided to build one for ourselves to be a street terror. Since I was the driver for a touring drag racing team in Connecticut we figured we would simply have our engine builder from Moroso throw together an over-built small block for this build. However we ran another low price Kennedy engineering kit and this was a huge mistake. The radical small block, when it wasn't overheating, over powered the clutch immediately whenever the car got traction. Went through discs weekly. When the thing did work it simply incinerated the one traction tire due to the one-legger transaxle. Once in a while it did take off decent once rolling at 40 mph and was terrifying fast. Looking back on this, we should have bit the bullet and gone with Renegade components and a modified 930 4sp transaxle with the ring gear flipped along with a milder engine and would have had a nice car. However being drag racers we thought more was better motor-wise and learned the hard way. We sold the car minus the engine and that was our v8 914 experience. From what I see in these videos, Renegade does things right and along with that they don't over power the cars to the point we did thus creating short wheelbase unmanageable handfuls.
@bodhim4353 Not a weird question. Actually, completely understandable. It's not a really tall 6th, but it does help some. It is certainly an overdrive, but the gear box is designed for a sports car with true performance!
@joefin5900 Removed for weight reduction. Furthermore, these cars shouldn't see much rain if you can help it due to high probability of rust. This one in particular should be kept dead dry since the body shop did nothing to remove, fix, and seal the existing rust before they chucked a layer of crappy paint on it.
One of my cars that came in an estate purchase with five other cars was a 1986 Jaguar XJ6 with a V-8 conversion. The car is beautiful, black with biscuit (light tan) leather but the engine was from an 81 Z-28. It also wasn't the neatest job, ran okay but a messy job under the hood. I have other cars so it wasn't getting driven much so l had an LS crate motor installed and changed it over to a Tremec 6-speed. Now it's right! It shocks lots of performance cars at red lights. I like my stuff original but if l'm doing a V-8 swap you can't beat the LS
You may have to wait, but I don't believe in spare tires anymore especially with highway patrol and even tow trucks getting pounded into with their strobes on. Get out of the car and get as far away from the highway as possible.
Sadly, you are absolutely correct. We lost a friend, a customer, and a brilliant soul; Sergeant Michael Abbate, a few months back. He and Scott were building a V8 911 G-body racecar just before he was killed while assisting another Nevada Highway Patrol officer with a traffic stop. Stop DUI should be paramount in people's minds because a simple tire change, can change many lives forever.
@@RenegadeHybrids It's not even drunks always. People totally sober just follow the lights for some reason. Get to the shoulder, get out of your car and stay away while you wait for a tow truck. A couple hours waiting is not worth you/your family's life. My last flat was "in mexico" at 115 mph, there were landscape rocks scattered onthe road. Not only did I have a blow out, but my rear wheel was cracked. Towing took about 2 hours to get to me, then 2 hours to get to the only shop that could work on a 295/25/20 tire, then 2 hours to get a rental car and finally make it to Daytona for a wedding the next day. My condolences to your friend. Good luck with your channel.
I'd certainly agree with that. The car left structurally superb, but cosmetically questionable. We aren't in the paint and body business, but we are in the 'mechanically-safe' business!
Love the action Scott ..... Geting closer to ordering my 718 Caymen manuel with the custom 454 LSX on 100 octane leaded gas making 621 RWHP & 589 RWTQ....... when i have the $121,000 ill be callinnnn!!!!
How about a 911 4S ? You might of mention it ,but i missed it also , if its possible what's the max hp can a stock Porsche drive train handle without modification . I do wonder if you guy considered just making the cars & put them up for sale, I would straight out buy one
Aside from initial install, is the maintenance much easier and cheaper? Those Porsche cars drain your finds quickly. Ive heard some say the maintenance is the amount you pay for the car.
