I am going to pull my engine this week after an embarassing weekend at sears point. Too little horsepower. Can't even keep up with the 944's. I hope to build up my 2.0L into something pretty strong, probably in the 140hp range. I will be keeping the stock FI if I can, but if I can sell the stock FI, maybe I go carbs?

Where should I start? What should I get? I do have a budget, so I want to keep the costs somewhat moderate. Help me out. Thanks! Terrance (IMG:style_emoticons/default/MDB2.gif) |

You still might have a challenge keeping up with the 944's (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) With my previous 2.4/four (weber 44's, header, cams, crane cd, etc) I was running very even with Glen Uslan at the Streets of Willow POC events; he's got a 944NA (2.5L) full race prepped car with approx the same mod points that I was running. We both had somewhere between 140-160hp I would guesstimate. Glen is not known for being a really quick driver, but the point is those cars have a modern, good-revving powerplant and fantastic handling, balance and brakes. Rick White also used to be very, very quick in his 924S. Of course he was/is an extremely experienced, smooth driver. I guess what I'm trying to say is...20-40 more HP doesn't guarantee squat out on the track (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |
