Been looking to but no luck... Are engines in 2002-2004 4S models different than a Carrera 2?

Coverage and how to read this overview
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.

I don't think there is any difference in engine.

Correct. They are the same.

Originally when I bought mine (which i'm about to put up for sale soon) I thought there was an HP bump, but found out here it's the same. Now the Clarkson review of the original 996 C4S on Top Gear makes more sense lol...

As long as you are looking for a C4S, go further and look for one with the X51 option. And if you want to go even further down the rabbit hole, look for an aero version. Good luck and they are not only great looking but terrific in all weather conditions, of course.
