Question on Boxster 911 Engine Swap

[ad931]

I am fitting a 2003 986S engine into a 2001 986 2.7, both with manual gearboxes. Can you please clarify your comment that the DME connector printouts have to be slightly modified. Whichnpinsmhave to be modified & why, and also which sensors do these pin outs relate to. I can see that there is a difference between the 7.2 & 7.8 DME's with regard to DME connectors 1 & 4. I already have a Motronic 7.8 DME, keys/immobiliser and engine wiring harness. . I also have access to the crash damaged 2003 986S that has donated its engine, so I can remove any additional parts that may be required.

I appreciate your assistance and look forward to your response. Thanks Arthur.

Hi there. This is a somewhat complicated procedure - the pinouts on the DME are different and the location of the camshaft position sensors are not in the same location, so you need to lengthen the harness in some places to accommodate. I will copy this question to our forums, where it can be discussed in further there ( http://forums.pelicanparts.com/boxster-cayman-forum/ )
