Ok I have a 1998 with a dead 2.5 Liter.
I have a full 2000 2.7 Liter with gear box and DME.
Dropped the old one out -
I realize I need to use the mechanical throttle cable Throttle Body - and I see and understand the mechanical challenge of the crossover tube size difference...

two questions - if I do use the 2.5 Throttle body on the 2.7 how do I wire the connectors? the 2.7 has one 6 pin connector the 2.5 has two 3 pin connectors... Maybe this can't work I'm not sure

2 I've also heard get a 996 3.4 Throttle Body - does that solve both the size and connector issues? Can anyone give me a good part number for that?

I'd rather use the 2.5 Throttle Body and get the project done - right now I'm not installing the 2.7 until I get this sorted out - easier to solve when not in the car...

All advice GREATLY appreciated!

I would stick to using the throttle for the engine. Otherwise you will be trouble shooting compatibility issues. With the 6 wire, it has motor control wires and 4 TPS wires. I think you will want to get a harness for the 2.7 if you don't have it.

Give our parts specialists a call at 1-888-280-7799. They can help you with the part numbers.

need more info!

Nick,

How do you use the TB that comes with the engine?

The 1998 is throttle cable and the 2.7 is EGAS

I think I could use a 2000 throttle pedal position sensor and wire back to the 2.7 harness but HOW???

For those that have done a swap what the trick???
