1 its not a direct swap, you will need to swap a lot of sensors , wiring harness.


2. You will need to retain your 2016 ecu and the 2016 ecu calibration. The 2027 calibration is not compatable with the early car security.


3. Also you may need to ise the earlier model cam phasors as it seems they are diffrent , this im not sure on.


4 You will need to retune the ecu s the newer mptors wont run well with the older model tune, they dont seem to take as much ignition riming as older motors.


It will be far easier to swap in a 2016 motor
Only a part of 2017+ engine revisions are included with AT models, right? There can be additional complications.
