Talking

There are a couple of guys on the rennlist who are "teaching their n/a's to whistle." The first time I found rennlist I asked this same question. I got the same response. I found it to be enlightening, so I bought a turbo. However, there are some guys that enjoy what it takes to drop a turbo in a n/a. If you go back to rennlist, these guys will help you out. Do a search, I think you'll find what you need.

Re: other message boards?

We are doing these conversions all the time. I would say that for street driving, the stock brakes will hold up fine, with mild suspension upgrades. For the track, turbo brakes, or we just install Big Reds.

I never knew this board was out here. I'm from the rennlist, but will be here just as often.

Quick Poll: How many users on this board are also users of rennlist?

Take Care

Re: other message boards?

I am. I saw this forum pop up a while ago on rennlist. Something about trying to get enough new members so the admin would make a 944 section. I guess it worked.

Re: other message boards?

Of course it's possible to do a turbo install on an NA. Not too many folks have been doing it since Calloway howver. But, the Calloway turbo was a total hack job by today's standards. I think a good turbo set-up can be done, but I've yet to read about someone doing it. I don't have the time or inclination. My car is being built for a specific racing class.

I would say if you really want to turbo your NA 944, do plenty of homework, find a good fabricator, and a good engine management person (probably the most important) and bring money.

More than that.

Or pay John to build it.

There are folks on Rennlist who have done the 951 engine into the NA. Do a search on Rennlist. I'm sure you'll find it.
