Hello people, Im a noob, I just bought a 98 Porsche Boxster but have problems : (

[dti]

is the engine the same from a 2005 Porsche Boxster? I found a great priced engine with 30,000 miles but off a 2005

Not even close, would need about the same list as a 3.anything.

[Paul]

Could you post several pictures of the car?

You should listen to Lil B - he's giving you some very good advice.

I understand, and I greatly appreciate all the help you guys have given me. But I will be sticking to the project. I am in no rush to get this thing going. If it takes time and money I am fixing this thing regardless. And Paul ill post some picks of the car, so you guys can see what Im dealing with.

Is it better to try and find a 2.7 liter engine while I'm at it and is it a hard swap?
or is it a minor mods swap?

[Paul]

You have a throttle cable, does the 2.7 have eGas?

Any engine 2000 or later motor is an egas motor. It uses a different DME, different Motronic software version, different wiring harness, different accelerator assembly and different fuel tank, lines and vapor recovery system.

This is not a minor job. It is expensive, complicated and time consuming to convert a non-egas car to an egas engine.

Consider that Boxsters of your model year have been changing hands for as low as $5000, and it really makes no sense at all to do such a swap.

Cheers!
