The Cayman K-Swap
Cayman K-Swap
The Ultimate Mid-Engine Heart Transplant for your Boxster or Cayman.
Unlock the full potential of your Porsche 986 / 987 Boxster or Cayman chassis with a Honda K24 engine swap. We have created a precision-engineered replacement subframe, designed as a bolt-in solution allowing you to replace the high-maintenance Porsche engine and lackluster transmission with the legendary Honda K24 engine and transmission. Experience a lighter, more balanced, and incredibly tunable Porsche without the IMS or bore score anxiety.
Why Choose the K-Swap?
While the Porsche flat-six is iconic, the Honda K24 offers a modern alternative that excels in several key areas:
Weight Reduction: Significant weight savings, on average over 200lbs of weight savings over the factory Porsche drivetrain, improving your power-to-weight ratio and weight distribution.
Reliability & Cost: Eliminate concerns over IMS bearing failures or bore scoring. Parts are affordable, accessible, and capable of handling high boost or high-RPM naturally aspirated builds.
Performance Potential: Easy access to 250–300 whp in naturally aspirated form, or 400-500+ whp with forced induction.
Transmission Upgrade: The swap uses a K-Series transmission which is most commonly available as a 6 speed close ratio gearbox with factory LSD standard. These transmissions have a tremendous aftermarket support allowing cost effective upgrades for anything from upgraded gearsets and final drives and conversion to sequential shifting configuration.
