3.6L swap

[Lloyd Cook]

Got a good deal on a 996 3.6l engine. Have sent out a few messages to T.holyoak and John at vitesseracing. Thanks to John for some clarification but still trying to find a computer to piggyback my old 986 S computer for the variocam+ functions. can anyone provide a link with a suitable candidate for this?

There isn't a piggie back system that works for VarioCam Plus. Someone had something that "may" have worked for VarioCam since more-or-less a RPM activated switch.

 

If earlier 986 then you need to swap over the ECU to later ver. Thus CAN bus stuff has to come along with it. (Cluster, HVAC console) Then depending on year of your Boxster you have way more fun with maybe needing ABS parts and possible egas pedal etc etc etc.

 

Looks like 03+ is the best car to swap 3.6L into:

i 987 RDC, I have Egas with the S/3.2 L 2000 and it has some of the CANBUS architeture, I was hoping someone that followed in the path of Holyoak or John may have been able to suggest something that would get the job done, I am pretty sure I could go standalone with AEM infinity and get the thing to run but wanted to maintain the factory computer for OBDII in case I ever need it.
