Cayman Turbo Engine Build or swap? Experts needed!
So I have a 2007 2.7 with headers and exhaust and a 08 3.4. I’m going to turbo one of them just not sure what the best route to go is. I’m leaning toward the 2007 since it has 143,000 miles which renders it close to worthless in the Porsche world. My questions are has anyone tested how much the 2.7 crank or block can hold? Is the 3.4L from a 07-08 a direct drop in with a 3.4 ECU? Need the 3.4 harness? What am I looking for externally to make sure I don’t buy a 06 IMS plagued engine definitely want a 07-08 as a starting point. I’m thinking I’ll turbo the 2.7 then build a 3.4 (bored to 3.6) to drop in then really crank the boost go Cayman R suspension gutted and caged. If the 3.4 isn’t a direct swap I may just build the 2.7. Purpose of this car is to make it into a debadged fire breather! I’ve searched countless hours and haven’t been able to find any of these answers. All help is appreciated!
