997 - FAQ
Which engine should I use?
While other options are possible, we recommend the K24Z7 engine which can be sourced from the 2012-2015 Honda Civic Si and 2009 to 2012 TSX.
Will the gauges still work?
Yes. If using our electronics package, the Link G4X will send and receive all necessary CAN messages to keep the gauge cluster working just like OEM - including enhanced CEL functions for knock, boost protection etc.
Will I keep power steering and A/C?
Yes. Included in the total package is a CNC machined adapter block that will mate the OE power steering lines to the Honda power steering pump. The factory Honda A/C compressor is connected to the vehicle with our adapters which are included in the package as an optional extra. The Link G4X will receive the commands from the HVAC CANbus and control the compressor as required to maintain OEM quality levels of A/C functionality.
What components are included in the swap package?
We currently offer a swap "package" that includes the essential / required parts that we have developed to convert your 911 into a perfectly working Honda powered Porsche. The parts that we offer in our "package" are constantly being updated. Please review the vehicle specific "package" listing and if you have any questions please reach out.
Will the wiring be difficult?
We have made the wiring easy for you - We offer a plug and play wiring solution that plugs our supported Link ECU into the original factory Porsche connectors. No wire cutting or splicing required.
Do you support the automatic transmissions?
No, we will be only supporting manual transmission cars at this time.
Will I need an upgraded radiator?
Luckily, even when opting for the forced induction package the OEM Porsche cooling is more than up to the task for street driving.
