The only person who can beat Bob Norwood's records is Bob Norwood.
Bob Norwood can build a car that in a race with 9 other cars will take places 1 through 20.
Bob Norwood never buys new tyres as the ground is afraid to wear them.
Bob Norwood can speak rpm.
Bob Norwood doesnt drive around a race track, he spins the earth with his massive HP.

I know you didn't build anything worthwhile because of how you talk, you'd just say to a customer or yourself... can't be done, sorry just face it your engine has certain charateristics and they can't be changed, just be happy with what you have. You talk yourself out of everything before you even try it.
And based on your numbers there's no need to change stock rods because no one I've seen is getting more than 450rwhp in a 944 base.

I'm not allowed to promote what i build as that's breaking the rules as im not a business sponsor. So you cannot judge me because my name isn't Bob Norwood..
You cannot assume what i say to customers as that is crap. All my customers know we have a we can do it attitude as that's why they still get work done by us for over 10 years.
We've done and still do work for the 2 biggest companies in Australia that no other shop is even willing to do, so please don't tell me what i can and can't do.
everyone here builds their engines to their specific goals, most in reason and budget and usually is 350 rwhp to 400 rwhp. that's why im still using standard rods and pistons.
If you say you've been here and seen everything, then you shouldn't be asking the question if the stock components can hold up 1000 rwhp.
You should know that by now and the answer will never change.
Please don't respond, everything you say is negative to everyone who's given you proper advice and say "well bob norwood did it" and really, no one want's to hear it.

Push it forward where? Do you know how many tuners there have been for 944 Turbos before you even joined this site? Just because I ask a question doesn't mean you can feed me baloney. Face it you guys are making the same rwhp that has been made on these cars for 15+ years. You have added nothing, in my opinion, that wasn't done years ago by a handful of other companies/peoples.

to most people that would mean:
what is the strength of stock engine parts, can they hand 1000whp?
and no one answered, just told me to "research, listen, change my attitude, respect the part time DIY experts more than world record holders, etc, etc."
that's just plain rude and if listened to a couple guys working out of their garages or a guy with a machine shop over a guy with 137 world records i'd be an idiot.
its also pretty sad that you guys are following around all of my threads on this board just to troll them and prevent anything constructive happening. i just had one of you poking fun at another thread of mine, what great moral character you all have, i'm sure your mother's would be proud of you and your children will grow up to be just like you.

Did you read the email quoted directly from him (above) where he bascially says that the "experts" who answered this post are not entirely correct?
Here it is again:
Here it is again:
We are getting 1600 hp from our 2.5 liter Toyota 4 cly. If you
run alky and a 944 head with the intake porting of a 968 you can make as
much or more than that. I have made 900 hp on gas with this motor in road
race trim. I do not know how much more the bottom end is good for as I have
not leaned on it more than 900. Alky and high compression and boost with the
right cam timing is all it takes. We are making 2500 to 3000 with the 4 cly
in my pro mod car. (fastest 4 cly in the world) If you tell me what you are
going to use the engine for I can be more specific.

There are many parts in a 944 engine.
block
crank
rods
pistons
head
head bolts
valves
(and more...)
only crank and rods and head were discussed by these "so called" experts who tried to tell me to respect them, what a joke and its really just bad advice.
