Take good care of my car, Nick! 😂 (that's right everyone, get in line behind me if you want to buy this car when Nick's done with it)

I'll be looking forward to seeing the install of the engine management & harness/ ecu adapter. Great work so far!

996 engines comes with 3 different ecus, depending on the date of manufacture. 5.2, 7.2 and 7.8. The 5.2 has a completely different connector. Think this is important to know, because 5.2 needs a completely different adapter kit and 7.2 and 7.8 use the same adapter but have a different pin configuration. Greetings from near Zuffenhausen.

Interesting. Good to know. Waiting for Nick's feedback
@edd218411 күн бұрын
I'm not too sure if he addressed this but is the 5.2 ECU isn't that for cars that have cable throttle bodies?
@Anewconvert10 күн бұрын
Yes, that’s the ECU for the cable cars, hence the lack of compatibility with the wiring harnesses available for swaps

Please, please do a video on the chassis work that needs to be done like coolant lines, fuel lines, routing intake and intercooler piping, and vacuum lines.

I’m honestly much more excited for you to get working on the 986 swap. I’ve got an ex PCA challenge Boxster shell just waiting for a k swap!

I've got a 99 just sitting in the garage literally collecting dust, so I'm in the same boat!

Ive always wanted a 99 c2, I wanna strip the interior, toss a cage in, do cup car doors carbon hood and 1/4's and have a Turbo K swap. I can afford the $20k for the donor car, i didnt have any examples to show what i needed done...and i dont have tens of thousands to toss at a shop until they figured it out. This helps immensely. The goal is 2,700lbs and 500whp.

You should weight the engine with the engine and then with the Honda engine lmao

Great to see R&D in action! Curious if anyone knows if there are any issues getting cars with engine swaps to pass annual US DMV emissions testing??

Hey nick, have you done any testing to see what sort of power level a Honda automatic can handle? I’m handicapped and own a C4S with a blown motor. Do you make an adaptor for the Porsche auto?

It would be a PIA to replace spark plugs .
@b.g.435313 күн бұрын
honestly cant wait to do this swap in the future. My only thing is, do you have to drop the motor to change coil packs and spark plugs?😅
@dylansorenson278413 күн бұрын
Wondering the same thing. Hoping Nick can give some insight.
@adillebsara152811 күн бұрын
Yea the spark plugs and coils can never come out unless you drop the engine. Unless you cut out into the car I would guess. At this point this would be the better route

I would guess against it. Converting a aircooled 911 to run with a watercooled engine is alot more expensive and complicated.

@adillebsara152811 күн бұрын
The engine is the cheapest part of the swap they sell between 600-1500$ the most expensive stuff is all the adapters and pieces around it. I've done an ls swap and the engine was the last of my worries. Think of it as the engine being 10% of the cost.of the swap
@SirSolidSneak12 күн бұрын
I get it’s a base 996 chassis and that motor isn’t exactly amazing but this just seems dumb and the answer to a question no one asked. This is just a harder to work on slightly more reliable(maybe) 944…What’s the point in this again? Literally just go buy a 944 at least no one really cares if those get ruined.
@Anewconvert11 күн бұрын
$500 engine, nearly double the horsepower, sold 100 ft/lbs of torque across the whole rev band, better gas mileage, FAR more reliable, and did I mention $500 engine?!? You pop an M96 (I sold mine to a guy who was just driving it and it self destructed) and it’s minimum $5k for a 100k mile example. $25k if you want to rebuild it. You can do this swap for half the cost of a rebuild…
@ryanwolfe91111 күн бұрын
Nobody cares if a 996 gets “ruined” either. It’s not a turbo, these engines are hot garbage. This is an upgrade
