A metamorphosis? Sounds interesting … and secretive! Will it emerge a beautiful butterfly? |

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. |

Are you an engineer? 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
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. |
