I say a guy on cardomain.com that supercharged his n/a 944 successfully. The pics look sweet, http://www.cardomain.com/ride/221707...che-944/page-6. I bet turboing is definitely possibly, I'd like to see it done. Good luck bud! You have my support!
On another note, my 944 is an 84, would I HAVE to lower the compression ratio to be able to bolt this all together, or would it be possible to stay with the stock NA ratio and add forced induction on top? What would you guys think could be the maximum ammount of boost possible on a motor like this? If I do it, I dont think I would go crazy boost, no more than 15-18 PSI or so?

I know, right?
Thanks for the support, I am considdering doing this, maybe I can make it to the fest, and watch what happens there if those guys really do turbo an NA there.. Although I get the feeling it would take some amazing wizardy to pull it off in a weekend at a race track in Ohio..

It's really not that hard. Besides a turbo from ebay, you can buy almost everything you need at Home Depot. There's a great write-up on another forum that should help you out some. Check it out here:
Tailpipe Turbo
This is by-far the easiest way to turbo your car and you can probably do it in a weekend. Let me know if you run into any problems, if you're located near me I can drop by to lend a hand.

I always hated those setups. But interesting. PVC? sheesh...

Didn't Rogue_Ant run an NA block with 9.5:1 pistons for a while on E85 before it let go? Granted, that's not on gasoline, and he's a wizard.
