Im going to be attempting to supercharge my 87 2.5 944s told the eaton m90 is the way to go, anyone know different? Also what engine upgrades or mods (including fueling) should i be doing to deal with the extra horses and wheres best to get them ? Anyone know of anyone selling kits or just knows a bit about this conversion. Cheers

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.

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.

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.
