Will do.

Hmm Wonder what it would take to make that fit my 84 euro 16v. Hmmm.

It would require an intake designed to mate the blower to your model year heads which are different than the S4's Huntley is working on.

At this time, a centrifugul setup would be easier for you to implement.

We will turn to the 16V cars when the 32V kits are to market. Unlike the 944 kits we made, little can be used on the 16V car from the 32V and as such we had to go with the most viable market first which we deturmined was the latter cars. We have several 16V cars lined up to be used as the prototype when we are ready to get going.

HUNTLEY: Do you build complete engines or just bolt on stuff. I also would like to know what portion of the superchargers that have been installed so far 928 or 944, have performance mods done to the engine. What different mods is needed to make a 928 motor work together with the supercharger. I'm talking about special head gaskets or special enternal engine mods. just curious

Something I saw of interest at the LA Auto show was the Chevy 6.5 liter turbo V8. 520ft/lb tq truck engine. The most notable part was that the Turbo was sitting in the V between the heads. There seems to be even more room between our heads than on the Chevy. That is about the only place I figure it could go on our cars.

Somebody give it a shot!!!!

Andy K,
In order to do that, you'd have to have some funky intake! I've thought about doing a twin turbo setup on my car, but the labor costs just make it impossible for me. They can be fit at the rear of the engine by the exhaust manifolds like Callaway did, and if you do it right, you don't have to cut fenders. You can always cut fenders though, but I wouldn't. Hey, if anyone wants to rig up the system for me, give me a call! For now, I'll keep dreaming

Barry,
Just take 2 944 intakes and mount them backwards on the heads so that they reach out over the cam covers. Then the turbo should fit between them nicely. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />

I am mostly kidding here but I really am considering implementing this intake setup on my SC project. As a matter of fact I should receive the 2nd 944 intake today. You can find them for $30 versus $500-750 for a used S4 intake to modify.

We have supercharged many cars and as such have done both stock cars and modified ones. All of our 944 kits were designed for stock motors, as will our 928 kits. After production begins, we will inevitably be asked to make a higher boost kit for a modified car or some other change to the kit, which as a custom shop we can do. To answer the other part of your question...we build on average 5-10 motors at a time. Most are 944 based followed by 911 based then 928s.

For those considering buying from Huntley, you would be well advised to run a search on the 944/951 board. There is more than one thread dealing with this supplier. Unfortunately not much of it is very positive. Caveat Emptor

Looks like we have to wait for the archives to come back. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="frown.gif" />

Derrek,

Will you kindly have some of your 928 customers post in this thread to dispel any negative karma?

Maybe ask them to give a quick description of work done & their satisfaction level.

What type of work have you done with the 928 & how many have you had your hands on?

Huntley Racing

We have built a few large displacement motors for some well known 928 companies. Here is a dyno chart from a 928GT we did some cams and headwork for: <a href="http://www.huntleyracing.com/dyno2/928gt_dyno.jpg" target="_blank">http://www.huntleyracing.com/dyno2/928gt_dyno.jpg</a>

We have a 16V motor here we are twin turbocharging for a 914 race car. Then of course we have the Supercharger project which we have a 928 S4 in house and a early 16V car waiting to be next. One thing I have learned is that the longer you are in business and the more customers you serve the more potential for an unhappy one from time to time. We try to keep that from happening but it is an un inevitable part of doing as much business as we do. Unfortunately the most vocal are the ones that have an issue. The fact is we have had some orders go wrong over the years, and we try to learn from the mistakes and help the customer out however we can. As far as negative Karma goes, we are doing just fine, so long as the happy customers outweigh the unhappy ones! I will have the SC 928 owners write a letter for the list or something when we are done (contrary to popular belief not everyone is on Rennlist!).

Derrek,

What kind of time frame do you anticipate before you have a marketable (reliable) product?

Huntley Racing

Like with all 'new' products, you just can't tell what will come up around the corner. We started the 928 SC project in May last year. Since then we have changed the manifold design 5 times, changed the belt drives 3 times, used 2 different snouts on the blower, changed throttle body type/size/layout 3 times, etc....Back then we figured we would be done before the new year but obviously that didn't work out. Where we are now though is a good place to be since the physical fabrication work and CNC programs are all done which means production is ready to start once the design is finished being tested and tuned on our test vehicle. It will be a minimum of a few weeks up to a couple of months or so.

Old & New

Derrek,

Why not post a few of the dyno charts you must have generated during testing & refining the design? Or some pix of the prototypes? I think I need a carrot on a stick.
