My 944 is to undergo a metamorphis come the spring, watch this space (and the club mag!)

A metamorphosis? Sounds interesting … and secretive!

Will it emerge a beautiful butterfly?

Maybe a swan :?:

But it's no ugly duckling now

Everything to do with the 944 S2 3 litre lump I've just bought & an Eaton Supercharger off a Mercedes Kompressor sitting in my garage.
Wooo Hoooo :twisted:

I'll drop you Frank Hughes email address if you want it, he went a similar route with his S2 when he put in a 968 lump and supercharged it.

That'd be fantastic Sean!

TIA

Peter Empson's doing something similar with his road/track car. He's fitting the SFR setup.

Well, that can't be a straight bolt on item? Are you an engineer? :shock:

Good luck with it Jim.

I aqquired some sid sills from a turbo today and may put them on in the spring. Still got my Dansk exhaust in my shed that needs to go on.

Yea, well sort of. Part of my apprenticeship was mechanical & electrical as well as electronic which was the main part. Been involved with things mechanical since I was about 8 years old. This sounds like a good excuse to buy a lathe & pillar drill, not that I need many excuses :twisted:

Apart from the bracketry & the pulleys, the rest of it is big plumbing. Not quite made up my mind about fueling or ignition yet. Various add on solutions appear to be available or I bin all the existing management & use something like an Emerald aftermarket system.
I'll be taking drawings as I go, as their maybe a small market for this. N/A 944's are difficult to tune as they are relatively highly tuned anyway. So people maybe interested in an up to 40% power increase that's relatively cheap. A standard S2 is around 210BHP so 40% is around 80BHP, so a total of 290ish BHP.
The Kompressor supercharger was £ 205 shipped. Their will certainly be pics & words for a future edition of AT.
