blown 944

I would use it as a test case and then swap it all over.

Depending on your desired boost level you may also want to use the engine and pick up some turbo pistons and rods then you will be good for some big HP that isn't boost limited. .

Yeah he was a really sketchy dude. He answered every time I called though.

What part of Orlando do you live in? I live up in Longwood. Any time you are in the area and want to swing by you're more than welcome to!

So today I was fiddling with the shift linkage and everything works fine. The transmission itself is stuck in first gear though. I have never heard of this problem, and Im not sure how to fix it? So far the only thing Ive tried is brutally banging the shifter back but it doesnt want to budge.


Well, my goal is right around 10 psi, if I can get there I'll be happy. So, I'm pretty sure with that much boost I'll be safe on the stock internals. There is a guy here in O-town who is running 11-12psi on a stock block, head, headgasket, etc.

BTW, when I was considering the idea of supercharging my car, I came across your thread and the videos and that just made my final decision. The next week I went junkyard hunting and found an Eaton M90 for 200 bucks. My setup is going to be slightly different from yours though, I'm going to try to copy this local guy's setup so he can help me tune the car. Very nice project of yours though, it has kept me excited about mine for the last few months!

So, so far I think Im probably going to use the white car to build the bracket and possibly test out the whole kit before I swap it over to the red car.

any other ideas?


what other projects should i possibly consider testing out on the white car for final use on the red car?

Keep in mind my budget is not unlimited.

RACE IT.
Race cars don't need interiors.

I'd love to, and eventually I will get into some real racing, but due to the current economy BS going on and everything, I just cant afford to race even my current 944. In a couple years it will be out at Sebring and Daytona every month though!!

BAH!!! I forgot there were two of us! Our name is not very common, and we both have black 951's no less! ROFL.
If any of you guys are looking for a cheap 951 to turn into a race car, let me know. Mine is going up for sale...CHEAP!

Wait you have the money to supercharge it, but not enough to track it?

Heck strip it, make it run (ie motor won't blow up, gbox works), put some stock seats back in with stock belts and drive on the track.

hey im new with 944s, why some 944s has a middle red light with 944 written on it between the brake lights and others dont have it... ?

lleroyb

That middle light is aftermarket, mine said Porsche though.

no parting out
if it runs great, hold out and fix it or use it for S/C (and after you are done, STILL fix it)

it just looks soooooooooo nice! or sell it?

Mighty Shilling

Definitely aftermarket. Whether or not you like it is up to you. quite frankly, I like having my license plate where Porsche intended it to be.

I think both set up look good but i was just wondering where it was coming from...

AaronR968

Use it for the S/C bracket then do what you want with it! You could make it a Spec car and have your other car in a higher class if you want to club race.

Is it possible the clutch is broken in some way as to prevent you from getting it out of gear?
