i helped nine44 do his 951 swap, it turned out great. For me, when i got my 944 the power was not enough. Then i started doing suspension mods and getting the handling down. Now i dont even notice the lack of power because when it gets into the twistys im gone. Even though a 924s w/ an s2 motor would be the sleeper from hell!

 

This is one of those recurring threads, that will continue on with questions...indefinitely. As long as there are new Porsche owners- the big 944 NA-to 951 Turbo upgrade will always attract the curious. I think we should establish a "number one rule-of-thumb".....simply to clarify the sheer impracticality of performing a full stock 944-to-turbo conversion. This Welcome to Rennlist greeting should reside at the top of Rennlist's website.

 

Option 5: Lighten your car. 15 lb weight decrease ~ 1 hp increase. Its not a replacement for a turbo or supercharger, but it is probably the most cost-effective performance upgrade for you. No need to upgrade the brakes, and the handling improvements don't cost extra.
