Dumb 924s question
I was just called with an offer to buy an 87 924s. It is badged with an S on it but it has an 8 valve engine.
My question is "doesn't the 24s have the same engine as my 44s?" I might have some parts for sale soon.

I thought that the 924s was upgraded to the n/a 944 engine (but not the 16 valve 944s)

the 924S had the regular 944 engine (an upgrade to the regular 924, iirc, they also had a different fifth gear, and less drag due to less fender). the 88 924S as i am aware had the upgraded compression that the 944 had in 88. the engines are identical, iirc, year to year.
all were 8v stock. it would be interesting to see a 924S2 (16v 924), i know of at least one 924S3 (968 drivetrain) transplant

Sometimes the Porsche nomenclature can get a little confusing. To clarify:
924 - 2.0, 8v engine 931 - 2.0, 8v turbocharged 924S - 2.5, 8v engine 944 - 2.5, 8v engine 944S - 2.5, 16v engine 951 - 2.5, 8v turbocharged 944S2 - 3.0, 16v engine 944 (1989) - 2.7, 8v engine 968 - 3.0, 16v engine with variocam

I forgot where I read it, but the 1989 924 was supposed to be badged "924S2". That would have been cool.

The 924S was only made on 87 & 88 for the US/Can. 86 in Europe.

Perhaps what Edik means is it would have been called 924S2 if they HAD produced it in 1989...

Yes. If they HAD produced it, it WOULD have been the 924S2.

Which begs the question, would the 924 have gotten the 3.0?
Now THAT would have been some car.

Or how about the drivetrain from a 959 !!! It would probably cost more than my first house, but at least the 944 would FINALLY have a big brother. (928 Doesn't count IMHO)
