    Engine swap

    Thank you, that answers my question. I was advised that the difference on 4.7 to 4.7 would be negligible, someone was trying to tune Quattroporte 4.7 S to match Quattroporte 4.7 Sport GT S. From 4.2, however to 4.7 that is a completely different scenario... In addition, one needs to install the...

    Engine swap

    Did they replace the exhaust/back boxes to oval ones, installed an air filter too? Was it 4.2 Granturismo to 4.7 Granturismo?

    Engine swap

    Do you mean, no difference in sound/speed/torque? So the other car was still sounding different and running faster? Or identical sound? BTW, am not after speed, just trying to replicate the sound of 4.7 Sport GT S. Sorry, what is DMS?

    Engine swap

    Hey All, long time no speak. So, I have decided to tune engine Ecu, apparently can add as much as 40 HP and even more torque to the engine. Was told to do all necessary testing before, like compression test, leaks etc... Any companies in the UK that would be capable of doing it? Thank you :)

    Now that's a nice QP interior

    Hi, have you got Jason's contact details please? I am thinking of swapping the engine in my QP 4.2 2009 with 4.7 one, hope he might be able to help.

    Engine swap

    Will do. I think I might just need to find a quattroporte 4.7 engine instead of Granturizmo/Grancabrio to ensure connections and electricals are the same.

    Engine swap

    Couldn't agree with you more! Except, I was prepared to do all that, but Ed from A.S. Motorsports brought me down to Earth today, by saying that we might encounter so many electrical gremlins, that it would jeopardise the whole project. To say them am devastated is to say nothing!!!!
