As for me, I eagerly await the day that "944 NA" doesn't induce forced induction envy.

maybe you should try it out...

944-LT1

Uhhhh....I guess they would fit fine. But ....you DO know those costs more than four times what your car is worth right?

Very cool though!!

I gotta link that to the guys on the other board.

lol ive already put at least the $8.5k into my $1000 944 so whats another 8k if i only spend $500 on an engine lol

alex

ok, got me on that one....

V2Rocket

you interested alex? lol.

alex

Sure, I'll trade you the ones you buy for the 3 944 carcasses and my car.

V2Rocket

i think itd take at least a dozen 944 carcasses to make up that much money lol

ill gladly help you convince the wife-unit to sell her minivan so you can buy fancy heads for your yet-to-be-acquired smallblock. theyd make some fantastic paperweights.

alex

now you're talkin...

Proof it is better to buy a car already done. for a little more money and no work you could have walked into my S2 with 74k miles and a new clutch, etc. But the edumucation is priceless.

we are under engineering/tuning 944 4cyl engines

V2Rocket

but all my money put into the craptacular brown car got me a freshly rebuilt engine, all new suspension, a bunch of other parts and now i know that they will last for a long time

besides all that money was over the course of the last (3 years in november )!!

if i had $9500 at the time in 2005 i would have either bought your S2 or bought the black 928 that got me hooked on p-cars...

if you had $4400 to spend on a completely new cylinder head you could probably get similar numbers from your turbo.

vitesse's HiPo "sledgehammer" head is around $3500 and they say bolton will give you 30 more HP from just freed up airflow.

I agree. My stock bottom end is holding well above 400wheel hp (100 more than the stock LS1) just fine. STOCK head and cams.
I went above and beyond. But now that it's done. I could have got it to make the same power with around 4K. (If I hadn't burned up my wiring under the dash - not my fault) and very little work compared to a motor swap.
That said. I love the LS motors. Light and tons of power potential.
