Ok.. heres the deal.. i was a BMW guy till i got this car.... Built a Crazy ass stroker out of a 325is 12v 2.5L 6cyl engine.. i knew it inside and out.. now i have a porsche 4cyl 2.5L 16v Kindof a new beast for me...
As far as bad days go..... after being hit in the front and having the front end in for repainting ... got the car out of the paint shop.. only to find they changed the color of the WHOLE car... so thats gonna have to be re done... then.... pop goes the clutch cylinder on my way home... needless to say..the engine is coming out now to keep my peace of mind on anything that may go wrong...
Who knows this "grenade' of an engine" as one shop put it about the 16v 944.... i have been told that theyre not good for upgrades...
what cams would be recommended , what valves, etc what kind of things should i do to this otherwise stock car... i have till march now to figure out how to take it apart and put it back to gether. I know im gonna upgrade things..but what matches with what in these cars.. does anyone know waht a good crank to put in with stock pistons to make a stroker? or is that even possible with these cars.. or should i get some different pistons and keep the orig crank.. etc.. things like that... what configurations work with these engines.....
To the very helpful post above... iknow that the "turbo a 16V" idea is absolutely rediculous because of the compression ... but... does any one have specifics on things to upgrade....
I had a BMW guru..then i turned into one..cause i figured out what matched up with what in that specific engine configuration to make the best possible bang for the buck engine...but this one.. i would probably just pick an expencive cam..and hope it was a good one..haha...
Please help guide the blind.....
if anyone knows of any goodies that go .. please let me know!
