daly944

In the search for reliable "real horsepower", I have come up dissapointed many times. I would call companies, and they would bs me about how they could easily give me 50hp. Well, from Huntley racing's reputation, I trust them. I called them, and they said that if I were to purchase a maf kit, stage 2, for my 1987 944na, I could achieve 14 real hp at the rear wheels. I was also thinking about buying a header/test pipe system. I have an automatic, and I am in search for better acceleration. My question is will this give me the acceleration that I desire, or will I come up short. I want to knock about 1 second off my 0-60 time. And no v8 conversion crap, I want my porsche to stay how it is, a true german sportscar, not some american piece of crap. Thanks.

I purchased the Huntley Racing MAF system about a year ago. I have been very pleased with its performance. It will give you between 8 to 15 horse power at the wheels. The extra horse power is not the only thing you will be gaining. You will be gaining flexability. If you decide to add a set of performance cams or super charge your 944 you will be able to dail in you air fuel settings.

Of course I still have that itch for more power. If you have not already discovered it is very expensive to increase the power of a NA Porsche. I have spent over ten grand and I have a only 226 horse power at the wheels on my 3.0 Ltr motor. I am thinking of installing one of those piece of crap American motors in my Porsche. It will make my car a True Fast Sports Car.

Good Luck

What about the huntley supercharger?

Exotic HorsePower

The last time I spoke with Derek he said that the supercharger will only be for the 3.0Ltr motor. Of course that was three months ago.

Tabor

I though you had a 3.0l motor.

actually the HR MAF kit is about as american as they come! if you want to stay german you can retrofit a 968 MAF sensor to your car 8^). autothority's kit is american too, at least the sensor was designed for an american car. there is not a whole lot of power to be had out af a 2.5 4 cylinder without forced induction. there is a used supercharger in the rennlist classifieds right now for sale. i personally dumped over $10,000 in a 944 n/a in search of power before i gave up and bought a 951(944turbo).i personally dont think that the automatic transmission will hold too much power though.

mr exotic. any time your in the area, stop by and check out my ride, its a 88 944 na LT1 that will kick *** for a 1/4 of the price. its sounds like you have the know-how but your not quite ready thats already more than most have.

Save the v-8s for the Camaros.If you want more power transplant a 951 motor into your N/A.Buy a set of chips for $200 and you have a 300 horsepower torque monster that will easily leave an LT-1 powered 944 in the dust.Now if you want to make 500 horsepower then the V-8 conversion might be a costworthy proposition.

Someone mentioned a 968 MAF, is this less restrictive than the 944 one and what do you need to adapt it to a 944S2?

Exotic HorsePower

Tabor Kelly,

I do have a 3.0 liter motor. I am not sure what you are asking.

TF

I am asking if the MAF on a 968 is different(less restrictive) than the MAF on a 944 S2 and if it is bigger than the one on the S2 will it work on the S2 without major mods? The barn door I have looks very restrictive but I am not sure I want all the adjustments that Huntly offers and the Autothority MAF is set up for a turbo. So with all that said I am looking for a reliable way to replace the stock MAF with one less restrictive.

Tabor

Exotic HorsePower: My suggestion of the Huntley Supercharger was for you, not daly944. However, daly944 could use the Supercharging of Nocksville (sp?) unit.

David J. Harrington

Wow, if I owned a supercharger company, I would want "knock" in the company name.

ie: Superchargers of Knoxville(knocksville)



It's Friday, I can't be serious.

I have considered the super charger that Huntley Racing is producing. I have even been told that it might be smog legal in the future. The only issue that I am concerned about is the fact it cost about 7 grand and will only give me a 100hp increase. I also looked into the possibility of installing a 951 motor in my car. Unfortunatly it would not be smog legal. DMV has informed me that if I do a engine transplant the engine must be the same year or newer than my car.
Then I thought about installing a turbo in my car which would include rebuilding my motor with lower compression pistons. I called Power Haus and to my surprise it would cost as much as my car did.
If I do go the route of a V8 conversion I would use a LT1 and have the heads ported and polished along with a Chevy factory Hot cam. This would give a good amount of horse power and torque for a very reasonable price.

TurboTim

Ok let me get this straight? If you put a 951 motor into your car it is not going to be smog legal but if you put an LT-1 in it, it will be smog legal? I think you need to think about this some more.In California you can put in any engine in any car and we have the stricktest smog laws in the world!The catch is that the smog regulations must be for whichever is newer.The chasis or the motor.If you put an 89' 951 motor in your 84' N/A then you will have to pass smog for an 89' vehicle.Its that simple.
