Yeah, we will see. If they're too stiff, it should be easy enough to swap in something else.

I actually already did design the crossmember to fit the stock 944/951 motor mounts as well. Those mounts will require different brackets for the 07K, though. I did it because I thought there might be some 944/951 guys who would want a 3-piece crossmember for easier oil pan removal.

PowerFlex makes some mounts for bmw's that are adjustable (http://www.bimmerworld.com/Engine/En...46-E9X-M3.html). They look like they might fit, but are pretty spendy at $400, so I personally would rather start with a more reasonable option and see if it will work.

Thanks! As far as the engine harness, you should not need that, except... You may want to hang onto the starter and alternator connections, and 12V pos. and neg. cables if they are in good shape. If you're going to throw out the engine harness, I suggest you cut off the connector and a pigtail for the oil pressure and coolant temps (which plug into a little connector on the firewall near the clutch master cylinder). If you want to sell the 944 engine harness or use it on another car, all of these connections can be made easily enough.

The G25 turbo does not have an internal wastegate. The exhaust manifold I'm using (from SPA) has a wastegate port with the 38mm bolt spacing.

Not too late to get in on the bellhousing group buy. I am still waiting to hear back from Quick Time on my design, so we are not locked into anything yet. I will PM you the group buy down payment info.

Thanks,
Alan

Thanks, I'll look into that. It might not be quite as tight as it looks... I modeled that elbow a little oversized. If it ends up chaffing, I'll look at doing what you said.

Here's a preliminary detailed drawing for the new Quick Time 944 07K bellhousing. We're close to releasing the first part for test fitting in my car.

Do you know the price of your 3-piece crossmember? Any idea on production time line?

Great progress, I'm excited!

Been checking in here for quite a while and each time I come around, I thought, geez, this has been going on a long time, is one of these guys gonna finally get this done.....ever...?

But these things take time and it's admirable what you are doing (notably Alan and Alex).

It looks like you finally even have the wall of secrecy crumbling with your dedication to unlocking another avenue for all the fans and lovers of these great cars.

Hats off to you guys,

T

That's the ancient 1980s 5 cylinder, there have been several put into 944s.

this thread is the 2000s vintage VW group 2.5 5 cylinder, a completely different engine.

Sounded like considerably more than -500hp ??

I spoke with Quick Time again today, and should have their pricing sometime this week.
