That box looks like an R154 from a 7M or 1J MKIII Supra. not the best Supra box, but not far off. It would probably struggle at 800WHP, but depends on the weight of the car of torque of course.

Exactly. With that move he has destroyed the fine balance of 944's chassis.

I always thought that this is the engine that should have gone in these cars in the first place. It would be more apropriate since the 944 is more of an audi/vw than a Porsche. The longer I own my 951 the less and less impressed I am with the bastardized half a 928 8v engine it has. In hind sight I wish I had spent my money replacing the stock engine with something else rather than trying to make it better.
How ever this guy is going about it the wrong way, he is destroying the one thing these cars actualy have going for them.

With the right suspension design and tuning, weight distribution means VERY little on a race track. I've worked on late model mustangs with verified 60/40 weight distribution (measured during corner balancing) that can and do tool nearly any 50/50 car.

This is the work of a TRUE novice.
That car will go NOWHERE if it has ANY power whatsoever.
It won't even be fun, just stupid.
And that is nice compared to what I would say about the 2 exchangers up front.
Where are the tanks.
And look at that throttle body!
Let me guess.....2 inch ic pipes, right?
High school shop class at its best!!!
The irony is that this will be the guy that comes on here and says US dynos read higher!:r oflmao:

I'm sure that well fabbed tuberific race car will be 60/40 weight distribution or better the way he's going I'm sure it will have all the right roll centers low center of mass and plenty of other features that make a high end race car .
as for the earlier question.
cast iron block
show me any engine pre year 2000 with more than 500 hp per liter with an alloy block

You might be right as the mustang get's tooled all the time a by car with a 30/70 weight distribution
To clarify my statement, weight distribution is a lesser factor than many believe within the realm of production based race cars.
http://www.griggsracing.com/article_...articles_id=25
Notice the 996 cup down there holding the TTU record. I'm reluctant to guess the weight distribution on that thing but I'll venture that its probably the close to the opposite of the Mustang's.
Again, not saying that weight distribution doesn't matter, just that on the track there are more important factors to consider. Ultimately, all else aside, I believe that some degree of rear weight bias is preferable on a rear wheel drive car. How much do we think this Audi swap is going to change the weight distribution anyway?

I like the project on the engine side but not on the tranny side.. This should remain as it was originally. on the back.
But as far as the engine goest I totally agree 5cli 20 valve AAN engine is qute stout and can handle alot of power. What you can do here is to throw in VW Caravelle 2.5l disel crank custom rods into 2.2 liter block, have the block overbored by 1mm and then you have nice 2.6 liter 20 valve line 5 witch can handle alot of power. has steel sleeves etc.. Of cours in our cars this engine should be pushed back a little in order to mount it under the small engine bay. And this engine can make more power anytime then our line 4 can handle..
But you know, then again.. its not allways about the power.. You can have a lot of HP but that does not mean that your car is insane quick right?
