Lack of power between 4-5000rpm?
Hi Guys,
New to the forum,great job you're all doing with it,looks like the place to be for serious 944 chat!
I've just bought a 1991 944 turbo and now the initial buzz is over I've had a chance to evaluate the car a bit better.It drives almost faultlessly but seems to have a serious flatspot between 4-5000rpm.This isn't noticable in first and second but I guess that's 'cos they are over with so quickly.In third,fourth and fifth it pulls hard until those revs,then feels flat and lifeless,then pulls hard to the redline after.
It's got a cone filter,Lindsey boost enhancer and BBR chips fitted.I didn't know about the chips so bought Autothority items at the weekend.When I fitted them the car ran like a dog,misfiring,backfiring,no performance,it was horrible.So I fitted the BBR chips back and it drives great again.Only mentioning this incase it has some bearing on the original rpm problem.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Mike
