Tons of info here and on various member's pages. I've used John Pirtle's in the past, and I hear Dwayne's is excellent as well. Do a Search and you should find them easily. I can't think of anything short of a flywheel lock tool that you would need that you may not already. Good luck with it.

Yes, I am seeing a lot of great information! I will report back when I get the fluids changed and keep progress on the timing belt replacement.

I appreciate all the information please keep it coming.

And the water pump, plus rebuild the tensioner and replace any suspect rollers/pulleys.

I would have assumed the water pump however I will check the tensioners, rollers and pullies while in there also.

I would go the opposite direction. On a 1 owner car with only 19 K miles..perhaps take it back to stock and get everything under the hood refurbished (cant believe I said that) . At least start there... I just think Low mile cars in good condition are getting rare to find and they are going up in price. Just a thought.


I have a SC on mine and the truley wake up the car

That Murf Kit is a great piece! Super capable and really makes the car come alive. The CryO2 is interesting. I wonder if he upped the boost? Don't run it above 6-7lbs boost without the CryO2 or you'll get lots of knock.

When you have it running ask for someone in your area to help you tune it with a SharkTuner. Should be able to get a lot of additional power out of it (and safer).

So I debated bringing it back to stock, but with all my other cars being boosted (all turbos) I will leave it alone for now. No idea what I will do with the car since it is my 8th car in the stable. I guess once I get it running I will determine what we will do with her.

It is currently running 5psi I was told. No idea since it is not running at this time. I think it will be a while before I get it fully completed since I am working on my track 944 turbo (going all fiberglass) so my hands are a little full right now.

But once I do get it running, I will most certainly track down someone local to help with a SharkTuner.

Thank you.

You might have already seen it, but do check this out for timing belt job.

Thank you, I will read all I can find before I tackle this for the first time. I think with my schedule it will be the first weekend of May before I get started. Will post as I start letting everyone know how it goes.

Not sure my dad would be happy with that decision by me. I will get it running with the supercharger and go from there.

It will likely be one of those cars I don't sell anytime soon, my 944s (except my track car) would go first.
