NA C2S Twin Turbo Conversion
Has anyone put a twin turbo motor into a c2s? The logicial solution is just to upgrade to the real thing, however.... I searched the archives but was unable to locate anything. What is involved, does it require a tranny change, new engine management box, wiring harness?
Thanks for your time

You will probably be better off selling the C2S and getting a TT. There was a fairly well documented NA to TT conversion here a while ago, but I can't remember who did it.

Protomotive stage II turbo http://www.geocities.com/protomotive/descr.htm will run you about $25k or so.

I would really prefer a c2s made into a turbo than a 993TT. The C2S would be lighter, two wheel drive..more like an evo of the time. I've been kicing around the idea of doing that to my street 993 for awhile now.
Go for it

I know a guy who's done a 993 cab to 570hp.

I think the guys at RUF do a single turbo conversion for the NA cars that is something like 420-450hp. The cost I heard quoted was about $35K. I'm sure it is more economical to sell the NA and buy a TT but a conversion would be pretty cool and unique.

My humble 1995 C2 is now a Ruf BTR-2. 2WD, narrow-body, single K-27 turbo and 426 HP. Unfortunately Ruf does not do BTR conversions anymore.
To specifically answer your question (I'm no expert) I think you need engine and wiring harness. You use the same transmission.
Hope this helps.

Glen has done this conversion and knows all the details. He used the factory engine management and wiring harness that came with the twin turbo motor.
I don't think anyone has mentioned it yet but you could build your own twin turbo kit.

How about a supercharger? The packaging is probably easier to fit (I'm also bearing the heat of the turbo in mind) as it lives where the air filter housing goes. Probably not as powerful as a turbo but easier to do, and cheaper. I have the articles of one such conversion a fellow Rennlister (Monique?) shared some time ago.
