S2 Engine in an early 944 Lux does make for an exciting package. |

Buy a whole written off, MOT failed or faulty (but with good engine) S2. That way you get the brakes that I would recommend, the front hubs and a shed load of parts to sell on. |

You will need to use an early fuel rail. The ICV is only a 2 pin on the early car and 3 pin on the later so using the later loom and ECU would be a good idea. |

Good point Mike. In my first post I mentioned using the 2.7 loom and having to adapt the fuse box and dash wiring for the early car, or using the early loom which may be easier, I would now say you might be better off using the late loom, or adapting the earlier loom to being 3 wire rather than 2 on the ICV. Good point on using the early fuel rail too, last time we did it we had the fuel flexi hoses replaced with longer ones to work with a metal bend at the end. I think we did that because his old hoses were perished and his fuel rail has not in great shape. Mike, you ever likely to want to sell your registration? |

Couldn't sell it now, I use the number everywhere! I'd have to start again on all the forums I only got it when I didn't like the plate on my first 944 - an '83 which I dropped a later 2.5 into hence the knowledge above - and DVLA had it for £250 Being an A plate car to start with restricted my choice somewhat, but I love it. Great to see you on the forum John, you have a very good reputation, and its great to see you sharing your fantastic experience. Edit - I used the old loom and swapped the ICV, (but I kept the same engine size) initially because I saw the early bulkhead grommet was round and the later one was oval. I couldn't believe the number of differences between the engines - '83 to '86. |

The engine will fit physically. Sensors I cant recall after all these years, but you will need the injectors, airflow meter and ECU to suit the 2.7l engine that youre fitting. |
