I can do it. If I can fit this square peg into a this round hole, I can put that round peg into that square hole.
This would at least keep it all Porsche. BTW.... Can you see the Dollar sign? This is photo is called the Money shot.

How about this: In Germany there is a Cayenne Turbo for sale that has VW's V10 turbo diesel engine installed (313hp, I believe, and more than enough torque...)
If that engine fits into a Cayenne, maybe it'll fit into a 928. too!!!

I just read this whole thread.
I have been having a recurring dream.
In it I am driving a 928 that I built myself.
It's pretty far gone down the path of no return.
Turbo Cayenne motor built and boosted to a ~1000 hp.
Spec'd drivetrain to handle it with very tall gears.
Complete custom areo bits, including full underbody, all windtunnel developed.
Hard suspension, massive brakes.
Full cage, carbon fiber everything, onboard telemetry, etc, etc, etc.
And I'm surpassing ludicrous speed on a big flat salty plain.
That's what the Cayenne swap means to me - all out.

yeah, really. Go buy an RS6, chip it, wahoo. I wouldn't even want to think about where to stash all the computers necessary to kep the Cayenne powerplants happy.
For the original V8, picked some forced induction, add a slug of nitrous and keep your fingers crossed.
I'm actually turning the corner on my 928, I think. Acknowledging that a basic sporty Lexus, Nissan or Honda is putting out near the same output as my 928, instead of updating it I'm going more of the retro/restoration route, fitting older wheels, etc.

Everyone of you has still missed the point. Any of the cayenne engines that was made and nikasiled is a real problem. Just wait and see the price of these engines in about 5 more years. Any running one will be worth gold. All the used ones are becoming a big liability for Porsche. The plating is failing just like the factory BMW problems of the late 1990's. Porsche has a real mess on their hands.
Good luck.
Good luck.

This is the first I heard of this. I know many Cayenne owners along with myself. I know owners with well over 120k miles and my mechanic works on many and the engines are the least concern. The computers and coils are more of an issue than anything.

I had an 81 and I always called it an OB and always will. There is no "manual" for what to call the OBs like my 81. A rose by any other name smells-- or, in this case, sounds-- just as sweet.:P

I rarely post on this board,but here I go. I've paid for two stroker motors in my 86.5 ,the first motor was built by a company in California (not Devek) with a fancy website and wonderful claims few years ago (it lasted 50 miles -a trip to dinner and back) I was left with a destroyed block, mismatched pistons and rods and a local mechanic that just gave up. I called 928 international and asked who would be the best person to build to build the second motor ,the resounding answer was Greg Brown at Precision Motorwerks. The second completed engine is now completed sitting on the stand and ready to install in the car by my new local mechanic (I live in South Florida). Why did I do this to a car that isn't worth much on the market?
I like the car plain and simple, I like this particular car and I understand there is no possiblility of return of this investment . The point of the response was this ,if you want to make a modifications to a car that you enjoy (if your budget will allow) -go for it the solutions will come. This list includes some very inventive individuals that have come up with some amazing solutions (Cayenne motor in 928 ) . I didn't mean to ramble ,just some thoughts.

Exactly. 
Agreed. I looked it up and found nothing ... Garrity what's your source?

I must admit I haven't heard of any problems with the Cayenne, I was told by a factory engineer that the Cayenne engine is made from Alusil not Nicasil and he said that it is a slightly different element makeup, I think he mentioned copper either more or less, he did say that they tried to reduce friction in the block by changing the composition.
It is the Boxter and 996 engines that I have heard have trouble, they have trouble for a few reasons, they don't use Alusil but Lokasil, which is a cheap version of Alusil. Rememeber no money was spared when they built the 928, well maybe they should have spent money on a dry sump design.
