Coyote Aluminator XS

Peak power at 7500RPM, stable up to 8400RPm

On a budget?
Ls1, its been done enough times that you can probably find a write up.

13B Turbo. Low COG + good rearward weight distribution by virtue of the rear mounted transaxle should equal fun. Tunable up to more than enough power.

Expert mode: viable in yurop. (don't worry about taxes and insurance, just availability, aftermarket and price)

V10 is incredibly hard to beat in terms of appeal.

>>16095091
Big V8, always fun.

>>16095099
True, easily available swap kits and everyone's done it so it's really well documented.

>>16095102
This would be interesting, especially since the FC and 944 existed around the same time and were pretty evenly matched. Rotary smoothness is also a lovely thing.

DB605

LS

I'd rather do a standalone and turbo the 2.5L that's already in there.

If I were forced to swap, probably a 4G63 or some cool V6 that you don't usually see in a RWD configuration, like the Ford SHO engine.

>>16095358
Turboing the stock I4 is fair enough, it does sound nice.
And that SHO V6 would be cool, I quite like those because >Yamaha.

SR20DET

>>16095398
There are better cars for this engine where it simply bolts in.

>>16095119
In my Yurop, people usually use Toyota 1JZ-GTE for performance swaps.

Toyota Hybrid Synergy Drive. 8)

20b

968 3.0L

Would it be possible to put an aircooled porsche 6 in? That would be pretty cool in a 944.

F20c, because glorius 9000 rpm

A turbocharged 1st gen Renesis.
For that maximum reliability.

f20c

>>16096596

If I'm not mistaken you would have to make the engine spin the other way around.

>>16096596
might be to wide

a diesel from a vw or audi.

>>16096596

This one

Something that won't overtax the driveshaft.

>>16095077
R26B from the mazda 787b, wich actualy used a porsche transmission.

>>16098770
You mean the torque tube?

>>16098795

Yes. I'm using /o/ language.

It's a great car, but the engine speed "driveshaft" thing limits power options.

>>16095148
>evenly matched
The FC ran circles around the 944

3S-GE BEAMS Blacktop

>>16095077
Actually, 1/2JZ-GTE VVTi would probably be best

>>16098868
Interesting option. I like it.

>>16098765
My mind was blown when I first realized they wrapped the exhaust manifold under the engine and put the turbo on the opposite side. Seems like a pretty good flowing design though.

>>16098868
put that in a 924


probably a 1jz vvti

>>16095081
well, this thread ended quickly

in all honesty
a supercharged gm series 3 3800 out of a 08 grand prix gtp. plenty of torque, better on gas than an LS. all the engine the 944 needs and nothing more
