Hello guys ....for the n/a guru`s out there ...beside buying a turbo what upgrade is possible for the n/a...i`ve got my as kicked by a vw golf last night...not vr6.....I`ve looked up on the board ..just advices to buy Turbo`s...looked on some 944 upgrade sites but they are sellin just packages for the 951 nothing for a n/a....it`s just bigger injectors ,bigger fuel pump a fuel regulator+ a chip...what will the gain be?hp?..thanks in advace. no smart aswers needed.good day.

the reason everyone says to just get a turbo is that there is not much in the way of cheap upgrades for the NA 2.5. It costs too much. It is cheaper to just get a turbo.

ls1/951/S/S2/968 swap is you best bet

i`m really fond to my motor ..worked on him works like a charm ...just purrs...so it` s time to get a turbo u say? i say no and i will go with the cams and piston set from linsey and some chip, some Big injectors, biGGEr fuel pump..And will see..
(off the records ...turbo is`t near to be find in my country..foreign out of the question big taxes to register..)
how is the dash swaping going marquito?

good luck. if you see more than 150hp at the wheels I will be absolutely shocked. dyno charts please.

Supercharge it.

If you can get good power of out of it n/a style then you'd be the first, and become a legend 'round here.

Why spend all that money just to upgrade acceleration to mediocre? 2.5 n/a ain't fast. 951 is. If you put the money you're going to put into your 2.5 into a 951, you could have 350HP.

only option is to supercharge it.

I don't care if another car can beat my 944 though. No matter how fast your car is there'll always be a faster car that will embarass you.

As long as the car is fast enough to be fun for me I don't care if some guy's twin turbo honda civic is faster.

the new Hyundai Genesis that is coming out soon with a v8 makes 375 hp so it'll beat most 951s,928s etc in accelleration.

can a person s/c a 944 n/a? i asked on another site and never got a response.

Reimu

Well obviously. Go search around the Pelican forum.. they're a bit more robust with that sort of thing. Also "blown944" has some talk about it here.

Yummybud924

lol you can supercharge any engine if you have the skill, time and money. If you have the skill to fabricate your own mounts/ plumbing etc it shouldn't cost too much.


SFR sells bolt on 944 supercharger kits, stage 2 makes 220 rwhp. The stage 2 kit makes more horsepower than a stock 951 but less torque I think.

I'd love to get a SFR supercharger kit but the kit is worth more than a 944 na. I think 6 grand for the stage 2 and stage one is 5000 I believe. stage 2 has higher boost / a intercooler


personally I'd like to get a 944s2 or a 968 then supercharger that and you'd get pretty good power

thanks guys ..i will go in the garage with some beers and start to think about everything u said...in my mind are now 3 things...buy a 951 modd` it and have a laf ..or buy a bmw m3 from 88 89 e30 and have a a really good time..and sell the n/a 944...

lack of skill here...supacharge a motor is a big thing to play with it..u can go wrong or very wrong..

you can find a small block chevy from a truck (a 5.3 vortec V8) for like $500 that makes around 300HP stock and with a cam and a head swap can make over 400 easy.

i have a 91 s2 i am as well looking for a significant power boost so far no luck but me and my friends are working on something that we think will give significant gains to n/a motors without nitrous or turbo ill keep yyoui posted. its a new type of supercharger
