I contacted Softronic regarding the DME swap mentioned in this thread. The reply I got may be useful to others contemplating this 3.4l swap:
I wrote:"Hi, I am replacing the engine in a 2001 Boxster S 6-speed with the 3.4l engine from an '06 Cayman Tiptronic. The 7.2 to7.8 DME change alarms me Do you have a 'plug&play' unit to magically make the new 3.4l engine function correctly? Including the ABS ?
Thanks."
Reply:
"Sorry no on the ABS as the old system is a 7.2 and the 2006 Cayman uses a 7.8 so the coding is different and other issues like the cluster etc.
Best, Scott"
So back to the rebuild. Thank goodness the engine had the Raby/LN /Pelican spin-on oil filter mod.
