Hi everyone. I'm new on this forum. I'm from Panama country. I love sports cars, so I have 2 Corvettes, '89 convertible with 750rwhp and a '99 C5 hardtop with 650rwhp. Both cars are street and daily drive cars. If you are interested in the specs of both cars, you can find it in corvetteforum.com

Ok, the things is that I recently bought a '86 Porsche 944 turbo. I bought that car from a friend of mine with a very good price.
As I mentioned before, I have like cars with extremely high HP because I love to go fastttt. So here is the project for this 944.
The car is red with 55,000 miles and has complete Gemballa body kit with the rear adjustable wing and with those supose aftermarket stuff:

- Non turbo camshaft
- K-27 turbo
- Authotority chips
- Gemballa complete exhaust system
- Strut bar, caster and camber plate
- Ruf 17" wheels all the corner

I love this car and if feels very nice.

I bought this car for just 1 reason, ROAD RACE PURPOSE, since I have heared that this is the right car for roadracing. Is that correct??

The thing is I'm not familiar with this car and I need some tips and advice from you to help me to build this car for road race. I don't want to waste the moneny, I want to do it in a right way step by step.
Anyone knows where is the place or shop I can contact to find some good aftermarket stuff for racing in a good price.
Somebody told me about Powerhouse, buy they said that the price is soooo high and have many other good option shop for less money.

Thanks for any comments and for your help...

sorry i don't have any tips for you, but i'm wondering why it would have an n/a camshaft instead of a turbo camshaft? whats the benefit supposed to be... more lift? more overlap? advanced or retarded timing?

just curious,
Mike

 

"why it would have an n/a camshaft instead of a turbo camshaft? whats the benefit supposed to be... more lift? more overlap? advanced or retarded timing?"

Hmmm, I've got a cam-comparison diagram on my <a href="http://members.rennlist.com/951_racerx" target="_blank">951 RacerX website</a> under the 'Specifications' section. The differences are mimimal and if you got a 944NA cam from an '82-85 car, it's exactly the same one as used on the 944 Turbo. A bigger HP gain can be had by simply bolting on an adjustable cam-gear and retarding the cam by 4-5 degrees. This would also combat the kamikazi diving torque curve on hopped-up 944 Turbos as well. The cam should really be the last step after you've done turbo & intercooler, intake & exhaust, EFI, injectors, wastegate and head port&polish upgrades simply because the HP-gained/dollar-spent ratio is so low.
