20v 5cyl turbo 944 project

Race Car
OK I found a donor 20v that I can get for around 400. Including transaxle and computer.
So so far the problems would be
Clearance (not too worried as I will be cutting a bunch out of this car anyway
Bell housing- If I am reading correctly the 924 bell housing may work or I could fab an adaptor plate between the audi bell housing and TT
Thinking in this direction heavily b/c of the reliability of this engine and the ultimate power output. Plus I have 3 of these little 944's so making one different might be fun.
Does anyone know where the original site for this project is??

Another update. Further junkyard research discovers that the 944 and 924 bellhousings are not the same. You will need to aquire a 924 bellhousing as this carries the audi I5 10V and turbo 20V bolt pattern. Now to figure out what clutch/flywheel parts will work... probably Audi clutch equipment.
Even just a stock 20V in a cheap but not too ratty 924 would be a ton of fun.

Get a 924 turbo bellhousing, these are plents tough for the job apparently, and allow for mounting a hydraulic clutch. Looks like an audi 200t clutch could be used, but that depends on how much power you would be using. Im not sure if there is any original thread to this idea, but the 924.org boards seem to have alot of old threads on the subject. The motor mounts apparently are very close on a 924, not so close on a 944. There was also some kind of issue with the brake booster? It must be relocated, like in the project within this thread.

That is my problem right now ...KIDS... and money
I was coming along very well on my gold car then my kids started racing again and now one is also wrestling.
Money well thats always a problem isn't it.
I am lucky to have a very forgiving wife who will let me stay out in the garage until ?? .

So it seems the car to start with would be a 931, as it has the correct TT,bellhousing, better brakes/suspension. also larger fuel tank. and motor mounts are reported to be closest
for the engine 20V N/A looks like the closest fit.
for the transaxle some research on ratios, and final drive would need to be done, the final choice would depend on what the car is to be used for.
This could be an interesting DD....

Ha, awesome! Get some more film and post it. Keep it coming.
What's the expected power levels on that thing?
