It�s an e gas engine so I will have to use my throttle on it.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

No problems with my engine, but before these rebuilt engines go to the moon in price, I�m thinking about buying a spare rebuilt engine. Anyway, I can get a 3.6 for about $1k more than a 3.4. The question is , will it mount on my 99 car, will my Dme run it correctly, yes I know I have to install my current cable throttle, which I probably will bore out if I get the 3.6. Any feedback, suggestions and recommendations will be greatly appreciated.
Bad idea, it would be slightly less work then putting in a gt3 motor. Although the blocks r similar they changed a ton of stuff. U would need changes to the fuel, coolant, wiring and dme systems.
Appreciate your knowledge. Thanks a bunch. My mechanic would be doing the work but I just wanted a straight drop in. Anyway the 3.4 that I�m looking at had headwork done, so it�s probably going to flow better.
I taught about that, anyway FSI told me April 2023 and $32k for that. I�m going a different route. I previously owned for 7 years a 04 R32 total HPA build twin turbo 695 WHP with 104 race fuel. I need to talk to my mechanic but I�m leaning towards a rebuilt 3.4 just to have a spare. The rest of the money is going to go for a saltwater pool in the house, Thanks
Justin could rebuild that 3.4 to a 3.8 using LN Nickies.
He learned from Jake at a hands on class, so he should be able to do a great job.
Doing 3.8 Nickies is the same price as 3.4, except you�ll likely need tuning.
You already have (or soon will) all the mods you�d need.
Justin is my mechanic that squirrel Introduced me to. Super sharp and was previously part owner of a Porsche repair shop. I�ll say he�s strong on boxsters 996 and 997. Anyway im going to his place in a couple of weeks, 3.8 airbox and fabspeed x pipe install.
Bruce , I�m thinking about buying a rebuilt 3.4, with headwork already done (port and polish) new main and rod bearings, new lifters, chains, pads, rings, inyectors, and AOS. I may be missing something, it this is a pretty nice deal in my opinion. It�s an e gas engine so I will have to use my throttle on it.
