Not sure if this has been done. Just wondering transmission wise what will bolt up? I know any motor can be converted with enough work. Just not familiar with the 944 motor's & what problems I'd run into. I haven't seen it done so that makes me think there must be something that makes it unpractical. This would be for my old v8 car. SO obviously water cooled is no problem for me. Plus it would be a Porsche drivetrain right (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif)

I dont understand why only a few of us have used the 930 turbo engine as an option, they fit in so nice without all the plumbing associated with water cooling and adapters and wiring harnesses. Fitting the turbo and an intercooler is really not that tough..
My experience with the 944 engine i never would consider using it in a 914. |
