I love my 993 C4S, it is a real piece of classic and love everything from the way it handles to the clunk noise from closing the door. However, I am thirsty for horsepower.. I also have a 996 TT that runs~ 600 whp and I am having considering if dropping a 993TT engine would quench my thirst for more horsepower.

What do you think? Should I do it? If not, what do you suggest I can do to make more torque and hp?

sell your car and buy a 993TT. That's probably the smartest approch IMO vs. dropping a 993TT motor in it. A 993TT is probably a $20k premium over a C4S (just a guess). You would probably spend at least $10k doing a decent turbo or supercharger conversion and it won't be as good as the original and there will be no re-sale value (if that matters to you).

I don't think a chip and cat bypass will satisfy your thirst, and to supercharge or turbocharge your engine is quite involved. Sell your 993 and buy a 993TT. Don't molest your current 993. Just my .02 cents.

Supercharge it man. After looking at options for sometime I have to admit that is good bang for bucks, bolt on bolt off, and the used SC will sell like hot cakes. If I had lots of cash and lived in England I'd do the 9M upgrade. Or just get the 993 TT.

Buying a 993 TT is definitely in the thought as well. That being said, my tuner has a sportec 993 TT engine for sale, it is making about 520hp forthe price of 25K us, although the c4s and the TT pretty much share everything except the engine, but I doubt dropping the sportec engine will increase the value anywhere close to a 993 TT if I happen to sell it in the future.

If not that, buy a 993TT rather than modifying your car.

I'm all for regear and trans but I am thinking we are missing the keyword to better performance here (and especially so for the C4S) and that is:

Weightloss.

Driver training, weightloss, regear/LWF, 3.8 conversion...lots of high dollar options.

Here's a less expensive approach: I don't know at what level your driving skills happen to be, but no matter what they are, we can always be better. Unless you're already there, why not invest the $ in yourself by attending a very good driving or race school? Then you can drive all your vehicles to their limit (which is far more satisfying to me than simply giving a car more power).

Other than pushing it downhill, there is really no way to make these car faster without forking out some serious bills.

Then or at the same time sell the car and buy a TT, then reduce weight.
