I've started a very slow project on an S2 lump to go in my Lux. I have the smaller M62 which came from a Mercedes C200.The problem is it is quite bulky & would be a struggle to fit under a 944 bonnet without a lot of work. The M90 is even bigger so even more of a problem.
These positive displacement blowers are also limited in there boost pressure & efficiencies.

I'm using a Vortech centrifugal blower. I'm looking at 310-320BHP from an S2 running around 8PSI boost on a standard engine with standard Compression Ratio.
Pics are here :-http://www.pbase.com/tr7v8/944_sc_project

As for management, I suspect the DME will run out of steam relatively quickly & is an old style ECU anyway. I was looking to either go MegaSquirt or Emerald.

9Meister in Warrington do a kit for the 968, but it is mega expensive circa 6K I understand.

You could think about Nitrous......only on when you hit the switch and 100 to 150 hp EXTRA for around £700...ish...


All the best Brett :)

Megasquirt is around 350 or so dependant on how you set it up. It's more a DIY package than most. I specifically wanted a standard looking car so scoops were out.

Not there yet, belts are off the shelf in PK6 profile in 100's of lengths. Next job is to make the brackets which I'll start once I get the pressing servicing jobs done on mine. Belts & CV joints.
