96 850R fitting a 1994 850 turbo motor differences?

Post by 356porsche4me »

Does anyone know any major differences I need to look out for?

located in Chicago. The 94 motor has turbos and manifold, same with the original R motor

So I have a turbo motor out of a 1994 850 turbo. Plan is to pull the R broken timing belt motor for now, and put the 850 turbo motor in.

Not familiar with the EGR vs non-EGR differences, but you should be able to take the 94 long block and swap your manifolds and turbo from the 96 and be good to go.
Internally the engines are the same, just the R tune was slightly different.
'97 854 T5 - Manual Swap/M4.4/COP/NA cams/P2R Brakes/16T/ chassis bracing/ XC70 nose swap
'97 855 GLT - Hers. RN swap/16T/COP/VVT/exhaust/302s/Flashed M4.4/ chassis bracing/ 2 kid seats
'78 GLE - Waiting in the wings. Future whiteblock/T5 swap.

The Others- '83 TBird turbo, '85 Mercury Marquis LTS (1 of 134), '86 LTD Wagon, '81 Granada GL, '76 Beetle, '93 F-150 I6
