Stock proportioning valve is pre-abs. So my setup comes off of the master, into the adjustable valve, and then back to the connection at the firewall that goes to the ABS unit.

Hmm, I'm only familiar with the stock prop valve being screwed into the top of the ABS pump, in the line going out to the rear circuit. Must be different on different years.

You certainly have an interesting "shift ****".

Could you please tell us more about how this works. You slam on the rubber pad to shift? (Sorry if that is a silly question.)

Did you replace the stock valve with a new line running from the ABS pump to the rear through the car with the adjustable valve in-line?

Lemming

Sounds the same to me. There is normally a line that goes from the master cylinder to the firewall on the passenger side with a connection on the fire wall (pre abs pump). I removed that line and inserted the adjustable bias valve in the system. I then plan to remove the stock valve on the top of the pump.

The only strange thing in the pic is that the rubber boot is not on properly since I had to put the bolts for the valve through the tunnel wall.

Eric_k

Yes, exactly.

MN

How does the rubber boot work, what does it do?

Lemming

It's just the normal rubber boot that is on all 944s, it covers the opening above the tunnel and keeps fumes and debris from flying into the car. The boot is simply not pulled down over the tunnel in the picture.

Some pics with meatballs (or eightballs) added. Need to get some sponsor and contingency decals on and that's it, going to keep the graphics simple and pumpkin like

nice! is that a kill switch in the top left of the hood?

MN

Very nice.

You wrote in a previous post, "[t]here are other issues [than headlamp mechanism] that need to be addressed as well. I will try to post those as well for those that might be interested."

Since I am also contemplating installing the 928motorsport supercharger in my 944 1986 NA (with 968 motor), I would be very interested in the issues you encountered and how you resolved them.

Thanks.

MN

Lemming

Yes.

I just looked through this entire thread and don't see where I stated that? Can you be specific with your question?

MN

I should have been more precise - my mistake.

It was in the thread "968 Supercharger Kit Development", on page 52, were you wrote:

Agreed, although it can be done. In race mode (no lights and other non essentials) there is room after modification. There are other issues that need to be addressed as well. I will try to post those as well for those that might be interested.

It would be greatly appreciated if you could let us know which issues you encountered and how you resolved them.

But then the radiator had to move forward and lowered because the SC still wouldn’t fit, this also meant building clips to support the radiator and condenser."

Did you had also these issues?

Thanks

umm can't help but notice your location MN? not a very big town haha.

You can tell from my previous posts that this car really has everything removed from the front end, no lights or light motor mechanisms to deal with. Thus, I don't know the issue related to those things.

Really, I had very little trouble because the car is stripped. Since my car is a 944S it came with the smaller radiator. Since I wanted to run the larger 951/968 rad, I had to cut the lower radiator support and lower it by about 1.5". My other issues were related to running an IC setup. I do not see how you could easily do this on a street car, but on my stripped race car is was fairly simple and documented in this thread.
