It's not an US 931 with 140 hp

It's an 177hp version + more boost+intercooler

14psi instead of 10psi that was oem for the euro's

200ish hp in a 1100kg car is enough for a daily.

And the only v8 i will ever put in a 924/944 is from the ls series


Paint will stay the same, bumper and the little things will go on.

It's a work in progress

I used a 931 for a daily here a couple years ago--neat cars. I turned the boost up to 10psi from the factory 6.5 and it made a lot of difference. Quicker than a 944NA, especially at higher speeds. It's too nice or I'd hack an intercooler into it. Are you upgrading the turbo or are you going to see how long a K24 will last at 15psi?

For some reason the Euro 924 I like. Its funny cause I used to think they were so ugly. But after I owned my 924S I like them now. Haha.
