They are quick, but have always been over 50 - 125 HP short of their turbo bretheren.

 

Thanks for the info.

 

what kinda numbers do the NA ones put down?

 

Im probably the silver 968 around that you saw. It has 3.0 4 cylinder producing 240hp stock.

 

Cool! I saw a silver Carrera last week with the tag "fastone" or something like that. I tried to get him to run, but I think he was paying too much attention to my badging and didn't consider me worth his time.

 

sorry im no redneck!

I just like muscle cars and old cars (was close to buying an early 70s/80s 911, no good deals). Im actually quite the Euro car fanatic and im looking for a BMW 3 or 6 series for a daily driver, or even a 944 (id give a left nut for a 928...).

glad i could have helped. But listen to this, all you need on a 944 turbo is a new turbo, a chip and an exhaust and youll push out 300hp EASY. There is a HUGE parts base for 944s, or you can half ass it and put a v8 in it (a 928 5.0ltr engine would be nice, but the LT1 conversion is more popular).

 

This thread is still going

 

I had a 944 that I rebuilt that ran like a scolded assed ape. Forged internals, t44, 4 core intercooler, 30 over, steel sleeves, and a s2 trans, and eibell said it couldn't be done, SHIT...400+hp...Oh and by the way czech09, a 944 is definately a real Porsche BEOOOCH. "Porsche, there is no substitute."

 

A 944 is water cooled, so it's not a real Porsche .

I'm just messing around, if anything isn't a real Porsche it's a 914, seeing as how it is a VW/Karman project or whatever.

When I get up to Tampa, I wanna see your turbo project.

I have a 3.2 Carrera in mine, and I want to do the 3.4 upgrade, and then if I'm still not happy, make a little turbo kit for it.

But the frigin parts are too expensive. They want 4 grand for the piston and cylinder set, which is all I need, but still.

Oh, to answer your questions:

The six to me, is the way to go. But it can end up costing you quite a few dollars. By the time you get the motor, you may or may not need a front mount oil cooler, the six mounting bar, brake/suspension upgrades, it can run you a lot.

But, you can probably pick up a half way decent motor, the quick six bar, and put it all in for not that bad.
