I know, I know…..this question has been asked here a million times…and I should probable get rid of my S2 and get a turbo, but the thing is…I’m kinda attached to my S2. I have sentimental reasons as to why I cannot get rid of it. I saw this speed force racing supercharger that is pseudo affordable and was wondering if anyone had tried it or what people thought of it. Here is the link:

Tim @ SFR has created some very nice stuff. I'm sure it is top quality. i've thought about getting it myself. The only thing that deters me is, i would want somekind of engine management (chip) to make it plug and play.

ahsan127

yup....I e-mailed them with that same question and am waiting for a reply.

If you are feeling adventurous, you can get a megasquirt system and any kind of supercharger you can fit under the hood.

Megasquirt is almost a plug and play solution for the S2, though no-one has tried it yet.

Last I knew the SC kits required removal of A/C. So if your in a warm climate and like your A/C, it may not be for you..

I dont wanna take any chances. I'd rather put something in the car thats been proven to work, even if it costs more money. I did just buy the 944s2max chip, cant wait to get it. Thanks Russell

Thats not true it already been done..

Can't say it works yet as I don't have the engine in the car..

I've seen / heard of a couple of supercharged S2's. On the one I actually saw (that my shop worked on), they never got the tuning just right. In the end, the owner abandoned the idea and uninstalled the unit.

The way I see it, the two biggest obstacles in a blower for the S2 are:
1. Properly tuning it. (No real plug and play is available for the application)
2. The additional stresses that a supercharger would put on the engine. Money is better spent ensuring that all of the internals are up to speed, especially in the head. (IE: Cam chain guide/tensioner). Don't expect to put a supercharger on a 944S2 that hasn't been properly maintained and think it will last very long...

You can get more bang for the buck if you upgrade the suspesion of a 944S2 than trying to get more power out of the motor, IMHO.

Still, it would be nice to get a bit more power out of my car -- say something around 250hp....

COOL! Keep us updated on your progress.

You might want to contact 'bluecamaro'. He did an SC to his S2 last summer.

My ears were burning

I've done a whole bunch of research on this, and there are alot of factors involved.

1st: What are your goals with the car?

2nd: What is your budget?

3rd: How are your fabrication skills?

4th: What is your time frame?

5th: Are you willing to learn?

250BHP is defintely possible. I've gained 15WHP on my 944S, and I have only begun. The S2 is an even better platform. I'm still working out my chip. I'm expecting another 2-3WHP once it is finished.

Next will be the MAF conversion, I believe a solid 10-12WHP gain will be had. I have some custom 16V headers, that "claim" an increase of 10WHP throughout the whole power range. It's possible. But like always I will post dyno charts, when everything is bolted on and tuned properly.

That still leaves cams and headwork.
