I just got a 944S with a 3.8l turbo and have too many projects.

I saw John's 944 in Vegas and thought it was pretty nice and would be a nice buy for someone!

3.8 4 cyl does not exist. GM made a 3.8 supercharged, so did Ford on the Supercoupe Tbirds. All V6's

I'll post some pics when I get this engine together. I saw a twin-turbo Grand National on Youtube stating it had 1000hp+. The possibilities are endless.

Really interested in the waterpump/timing setup. Any more details on that.

Didn't think that could be done. We may have hope of inproving our timing belt system.

Would someone with more knowledge and skill then me be willing to take on a project to reproduce what has been done here? I’m sure a large number of us 944 owners would love to “upgrade” our timing belt/water pump system. I know I would.
