Hello, all,
I am new to the forum,
but within the next day or 2,
I should have finalized the purchase of my first Porsche,
(Having driven VWs exclusively for all my life)
1997 Boxster w/ 3.4 from a 2000 911.
Engine mileage: 40k (installed at 19k, so it is certainly sorted out)
I am not intimately familiar with all of the details of the swap,
but I know there was a different intake manifold involved,
and a custom ECU (from the Vaterland) involving reprogramming
the boxster ECU to work with the new engine.
Apparently the ECU is so intimate with the chassis of the car that it made sense
to reprogram this one instead of swapping to the 911 ECU.
I know there is more to it,
but those are the hilights as I recall them.
But, I certainly will have a fully functional example in the next few days,
so should be able to answer visually identifiable questions.
(If I decide I want to help someone else experience the glory, instead of keeping it all to myself!)
But, categorically brilliant swap.
Arguably the best car I have ever driven, not that that is saying a lot.
I could not speak more highly of this engine / chassis combo.
(Keep in mind the car is well sorted as well: S brakes, Eibach coilovers, corner balanced, good weekend track car)
-Brad
