Before I traded my gen2.987 in for a 981S, I bought some service parts for the 2.9 engine to fit myself before getting an indy porsche specialist garage to do the rest.
But I didn't get around to it as I got the 981 before the service was due.
I now have a £100 of parts that I may or may not be able to use for the 3.4.
I have cross referenced the Bosch plugs (FGR5NQE04) & Mann oil filter (HU7026z) and both appear to be suitable for the 3.4.
The ribbed drive belt (Contitech 6PDK1853) also seems to cross reference but am sure I have seen some info or youtube video stating that the 981 has electric power steering as opposed to hydraulic therefore there is no hydraulic pump driven by the ribbed belt therefore it would be shorter than the one for the 987.
Can anyone confirm the above one way or the other?
I also bought a magnetic sump plug for the 987 which is a M18 x 1.5 x 12.
I got it from Motorsport Developments which listed this plug for Boxsters 987 2004-2011.

Anyone know whether this will fit the 981 sump?
