ok im only on my first 944. when i had a guy work on it (im away from home now, i dont have my tools) he had a "blown" 944. i want it! i am pretty sure he said its locked up. the car looked immaculate! when i popped the hood, it looked like a 12 valve head (spark plugs were in the middle). the engine is a 2.7 liter. i think he said its an 88 but were the 2.7 only in 89? did they have a 16 valve engine? the body, interior, battery, etc were PERFECT! needing an engine rebuild, do you think this car would be worth $4,000? it had an n/a style front end. did the s2s have a turbo bumper? would this car just be an s?

 

sounds like a chopped up monstrosity owned by a guy who has NO idea of what he's talking about. 12 valve head??? 8 or 16 are the only options here. only dual cam cars were 2.5 or 3.0L. this can't be good, RUN away.

If it had an n/a style front end it is not an s2. There's also no such thing as a 12V 944. I forget if the 2.7 was an 8V or a 16V.

If it looks like a 944 turbo and has a 16V head it's an S2. All S2's are 3.0L. If it has an NA style bumper and a 16V head it's an S. All S's are 2.5L. The S was built in '87 &'88, the S2 in '89,'90, & '91.
The only 2.7L was the '89 8V 944NA.
Hope that helps.

 

I thought the 944S in '89 had a 2.7L.
You guys are welcome to correct me if I am wrong...

yes, i agree with eyal, but i won't get into that.

there was no S in 89 i don't think.

-Michael-

 

my 89 has a 2.7 but its still a 8v head....not an s.

 

It's most likely an 88 944S 16V 2.5L. That would be the car with centered spark plug and the NA body

 

okay that was a type-o yes 16 valve head what the hell is wrong with you people? so you think its an 88 S? with a 2.5 and 16v?

 

What the hells wrong with us? What the hell is wrong with YOU??? Get a muscle car.

 

That' my guess, I don't think they had the NA body after 88 or 88 being the last year for the NA body in a 16V. The 2.7 NA had the NA body, but was an 8V.

 

What the hell is wrong with us? What the hell is wrong with you?

Dont come here if you dont like it.

The car you're looking at is probably a '79 924.

If you really want an answer why dont you look it up for yourself? It's not that hard.

 

Damn kids chill out if you don't like the question you don't have to answer it obviously you guys posted, it could have been helpful. I didn't see anything wrong with the question?????????

 

Ahhhhhh - folks.....when someone asks "what the hell is wrong with you people", they must have a reason. The worse thing you can say is "what is wrong with YOU!".

Grow up, answer the man's damn question like an adult and have a happy Halloween. Sheeeesh!!!
