Found myself this week watching videos on guys who swapped in an LS motor into the 996, but couldn't find much on using a Subaru Flat 6 in the early 996 cars.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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 imagine the appeal of the V8 conversion is more hp (than both Subaru or Porsche flat sixes).. and well, its been done for 30 years into 911s. Subaru conversions tend to be the way of the 914 crowd instead. Going from 80hp to 170hp or more in a 914 is quite a nice bump. Dropping from 300hp in a 996 to 250hp? vs a 400hp V8?
