FR Wilk Power PROM 2...
Hey Rennlisters,
Finally got everything back together after installing a <a href="http://frwilk.com/944dme/" target="_blank">FR Wilk Power PROM 2</a> in my '87 944 NA. Excellent addition to the vehicle IMHO. The stumble around 2500-3000 RPM with a cold engine vanished, and the car feels more torquey at low revs. Seems to improve drivability quite a bit. Still not a 951, but a good upgrade just the same.
Also painted the wheels (ala Chris_924s) and installed new tires. The new tires & balance eliminated the 60 MPH shimmy that seems so common in these. Been a pretty good week for the old Porsche... <img border="0" alt="[thumbsup]" title="" src="graemlins/bigok.gif" />

Hey 7thStranger,
It's a performance chip for the DME box (engine management electronics). Can check it out at:
<a href="http://frwilk.com/944dme/" target="_blank">http://frwilk.com/944dme/</a>
if you like. Also installed a MSD Blaster coil and changed the fuel filter. These two didn't have any effect that I could tell (did them first + test drove it after each mod just in case I hosed something up
). But the chip certainly seemed to help. It's about 200 bucks for a Wilk chip. Guy seems to know what he's doing when it comes to Bosch Motronic stuff.
Hope your situation improves <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" /> . Did you find anything out about the dist. cap turning a little? Mine turns a little too when it's locked down, car still seems fine though.

Prom I got it.
You would'nt believe i'm in IT.
Dhoo..
My wrench has had my S for 2 days. Still not sure what is wrong. Ahhhh.
I looked for 2 weeks and can not find a problem. I'm gettn scared!!!
I'm pretty sure the NA is a failed fuel pump.
Everyone pray for me!!!!!

Fuel pump = about 200 bucks worth of scary...
The unkown (on the S) = a whole lotta scary...
You have my sympathy
PS - changed "Prom" to "PROM" in the above posts, my technical error...
