944TurboStar

Hello All,

I posted for my first time here a few days ago. Went to my first "timing belt" party with a couple Nor-Cal guys.....Thanks Steve, Chris, Deni and Moto1.

I didnt mention my engine previously but it seems to be a rarity so I will describe here and see if there is any interest.

I bought this 951 on Tuesday and it has an Andial 2.8 Stroker engine. I have the receipt from Andial for the work. Shows the following:

All this was done buy previous owner in 1991.

The car is very fast except the other day I lost a little something on the boost. Boost is still there but I dont have the kick in the *** pull I did earlier. Not really sure what it might be. Heard it could be some bad vacuum lines. I dont really know if it makes a difference but the car had been sitting for about 5 or 6 years previous and the tech said to run a bottle of injector cleaner with my next tank of gas. Seems like I lost the extra boost right after this. Maybe just a coincidence but maybe somebody on here can tell me. Could the injector cleaner cause the loss in boost???? Is it possible the engine computer can tell the octane is lowered and so isnt running like it should? Would appreciate any help.

Here is a pic of the engine

Never heard of Andial before but it looks relativly stock. i.e (no accuboost type enhancer, no MAF/MAP ect).. Anything on the turbo? Stock i'm assuming.

i ran seafoam through and it did wonders on mine which had been sitting for ~2-3 years. Cleaned the injectors real well and made for a noticeable difference. I am no turbo owner though so i cant speak for the boost, but cleaning those injectors will help...

The Andial 2.8 kits are very expensive but good - IIRC they're about $4k or so. I don't even know if they have any left; they've pretty much disavowed the 944s and focus exclusively on 911s now. Bummer because they're so close - if they didn't have that "it's not a real porsche" elitism I'd actually consider going there.

Anyway, I second the vaccum line check. You're sure you had the engine nuts-on TDC when the belts went on and off right?

ANDIAL ROCKS!!! Wish they were still making parts for the 951.

Serge944

All I know about Andial is that they can get OEM 20mm rear 944 swaybars - but not cheap. Sounds like an interesting tuner with a great history!

daniel951

by the sound of it u are going on feel so if i was u i would get a boost gauge to tell u exactly how much u are making and losing. Check all vac lines for leaks. also we need more detials on the engine like boost control wastegate etc.

Rich Sandor

944turboStar: Your lack of boost is probably caused by a crack in the vacuum nipples on that intake manifold. I have a spare excellent condition stock aluminium intake manifold that you can have in trade for your magnesium andial manifold.

In 1991 that kit was well above 4K. Andial doesnt get a lot of 944 press anymore but they had the cool sh*t before there was cool sh*t. Some of the best "kits" for 951s came from there.
