Have any of you guys every taken a 928 motor and placed it into a 944??

[TCMdocs944]

Don't think they fit Samm.

You get your trans. sorted out?

[944 Speed Grrl]

That question was from my dad....lol

Yea I got it fixed...got a brand new Sachs clutch in it....runs great now!

If you want a V-8 get a small block Chevy.

Watch out! Here comes the bricks!!!

[very~worn~944]

no no no!!!....keep it GERMAN! ahhH! (response to american 944's) Now what would be intresting is take all the parts out of 2 951's and build a 928tt. Space is the biggest issue...but EASY!!!!! or not....probably not.

I saw a 928 motor in a 944 tube chasis race car yesturday while I was at Kelly Moss Racing. It has 600hp. WOW

[Porsche-O-Phile]

There's a lot of room under the hood of a 944 though. . .

I wonder if you could get a v-12 in there

probably not, just a thought.

[ronin]

this begs the question; what's the smallest production v12 available these days?

[pearldrum]

I'm pretty sure I've seen pictures of a 928 engine in a '44...but I think it needed alot more work than fitting in a chevy engine.

Do something different. Put a Nissan SR20DET in it. I would have after I popped my engine, but I didn't have the funds.

[scheistermeiste]

thats not different, someone asked that no these boards not to long ago

now a RB20DETT now thats different. but for that 928 motor you better get out the shoe horn!

[fast924S]

BMW makes a really tight V12

[fasttech]

yea, kelly moss did make a 928 engined 944. They used a 944 gtr(1 of only 7!!) and cut the front end off for orginality,and replaced it with one specially fabricated to fit its 6.6 liter engine with 711 hp & 680 lb of torque!!! pics at

an RB20DET (which is a single turbo) is such a stupid engine IMO, at least I think it's stupid to swap into a car. If you wanna go w/ an RB series engine try a RB25DET or a RB26DETT. I would still rather see an SR though (I guess you can say I'm partial). I have yet to see it done into a 944 though, I've seen it in Corolla AE86s, RX7s, 300ZXs (Z31, and Z32), old Datsun 510s, Laurells, cefiros, Cresidas, I've even seen one in an older 911, and I know I'm missing a ton. But I think a 944 converted to the S chassis engine and drivetrain would be pretty pimp. Wow, too bad you would have a hell of a time trying to get a transmission and diff to fint right. That would be nice though, being able to run a good diff, I wonder how much nicer it would be to drift... Anybody know of someplace this has been done?

SOMEBODY PUT AN SR INTO YOUR CAR AND LET ME GO PLAY IN IT

Why would they?

So the car can run 16s? Oh yeah baby...chillin' in those 16s..

No.

That's stupid. Going from 32 Valves to 8.

[fast924S]

[ronin]
