My '95 993 Motor is a pre-varioram OBD1 Motor and i have been toying with the idea of updating it to OBD2.

There was, for a short time, a OBD2 brain available for the (still aircooled) 993 starting in '96 with the varioram version of the motor.

It is my understanding that besides the tubes inside the intake, the two motors are pretty much identical.

I wonder if i could get a later brain and harness and make it work with my engine.
Is there anyone out there who has tried this?
