Supercharger for 944 S2!

Hi everyone,

Has anyone any experience of supercharging a 944 S2?

Huntley racing have kits available for 944 8V, not sure about S2.

Also if anyone has added nitrous oxide to a 944 I would be interested.

Thanks

Mark

PS Yes I am crazy!

Both a blower and N02 will eventually deteriorate the head of a 944S2. Issues like pitting of the cylinders, and fatiguing the head are likely to occur.

IMHO, it's best to keep an S2 engine stock. If you have $$ to burn, put it into maintaining the engine (cam chain tensioner/guide, rod bearings, rollers, belts, gaskets...etc).

Don't forget: a working stock engine will propel a car faster than a broken down modified engine. And yes, modified engines break down more.

Another thing to consider, and I'm sure I will get plenty of back up on this...
The 944 turbo is considered the best starting point if you want to make great big gobs of horsepower. I hear they can go over the 300 mark.
So sell me your S2 and buy a 951

Thanks everyone,

Maybe I'll think about it for a while

I haven't got $7000 dollars at the moment anyway!

If you had $7000.00 and sold your S2 you could buy a perfect 951, possibly already modified.
