This 500+ Horsepower Porsche 944 was Rescued from a Life of Neglect



Sure, it's nice to look at sports cars such as the Porsche 944 when they're standing still. However, it's even better to drive them.

Can we see a dyno sheet please?

hard to believe those numbers without the sheet :-)

Love the appearance of it. It's a street car, no?

I also would like to see how 500HP was documented. Out of a 2.5L? 3L would be much easier but still a bit of work...and I'm also not sure that vinyl wrapping a car counts as rescuing in my book. Sorry! Show me the build sheet and dyno and I'll change my tune.

they cant produce a dyno because its only pushing out 350 max

Wow, that is a lot for that style. I don't doubt the 500 hp. I have a friend that does a lot of turbo work for various types of sports cars. I would assume though that now they have a lot of turbo lag. Therefore, I would also assume that it is now harder to drive the car out of the corner. Cool car.

No way that is a 500hp car. Love the wrap job though!

I'd be impressed if it was putting out 350 Skip! Hope you are doing ok btw.

Regardless of the hp, that car needs the batwing (and my guess all the under trays too) because the modded cars to generate a lot of heat and without those parts air flow isn't going to be going through the radiator / oil cooler as effectively as it should.

Also, shift **** is on backward......

Doing good! hope you are as well

Someone sent me that earlier today. I got to the part about the builders and ......

500hp at 20psi...
not with that head, and not at 2.5L.

Don't we have a science fiction section where this can be posted?

Nice looking car.

car looks so good it must have charmed another 180 hp from the dyno.

Is the cylinder head design what limits the engine's HP? I come from the Mitsu 4g63 world where 2.0L Turbo get you in that HP range. Of course you need a large enough turbo, cams etc.
