1987 Porsche 944 Turbo Coupe 2-door 2.5l on 2040-cars
Rochester, Michigan, United States
|
I bought the car about 10 years ago and after a few years I
decided to upgrade the motor to increase the horsepower. Below is a partial list
of performance upgrades. It now has around 380 hp and can run at 20lbs boost
with 100 octane gas or 17 with standard premium. In case you are wondering what
it’s capable of, the car does better than 175 mph. Many of the parts were purchased
from Lindsey Racing, they are extremely knowledgeable in Porsche cars. http://www.lindseyracing.com/LR/Parts/944.html I have never spent the time to upgrade anything on the
interior. The dashboard is cracked the driver’s seat has a tear on it as well.
The back seats are practically immaculate. There is absolutely no rust on this
car. The only issues with the car are the antilock brake light is
on and the readout for the air fuel ratio isn't working. This can still be
adjusted with a laptop through the Mafterburner software if needed. The airbag light is
on but it has been on since I owed the car, the guy I bought it from said he
disconnected the switch because of his son being in the car with him. Small drip from where the oil dipstick goes into engine block, must need an o-ring. I just bought my dream car a month ago so now I have 3 cars
and the Porsche has to go. This car is mechanically solid and corners awesome but with bad road conditions its a bit much to be a
daily driver in my opinion. Easily $8000 in upgrades but my loss is your gain, I just want it gone.

Porsche resurrects V8-powered 911 prototype from the Eighties
Wed, 14 May 2014These days, we take it for granted that the Porsche 911 uses a flat-six engine. That's because every version of the iconic rear-engined sports car has had one. Right? Well, for the most part. There was the 912 that joined the original in the late Sixties with a flat-four. And in the mid-Eighties, Porsche toyed around with the idea of a V8-powered 911.
After the first-generation 911 had been in production for over two decades, Porsche began development of its successor, the 964, in the 1980s. And one of its ideas was to use a V8 engine. So it took a 964, borrowed a V8 from Audi, gave it the rear bodywork from a 959 and dubbed it the 965.
The idea was to create a more affordable successor to the 959 that included its advanced all-wheel drive system and active suspension. The Audi V8 would have been replaced with one of Porsche's own design - possibly based on the it had built for Indy racing - but Dr. Ulrich Bez (who was then head of Porsche R&D long before taking the reins at Aston Martin) ultimately killed the project.
Are you the next Porsche 911 GT3 RS or GT2?
Thu, 17 Apr 2014Porsche typically keeps to a suitably fast schedule when it comes to rolling out increasingly hard-core performance versions of the 911. After the 997 Carrera debuted in 2004, the GT3 version followed in 2006, and by the end of the 2007, Porsche had rolled out both the GT3 RS and GT2 versions. Then the facelifted 997.5 came out in 2008 and it was back to the start: the GT3 came in 2009, the GT3 RS and GT2 RS in 2010, and the GT3 RS 4.0 in 2011. But things have slowed down some with the latest 991 generation.
The new Carrera came in 2011 and the GT3 followed in 2012. By recent history's example, we should have at least two more hardcore models by now, but we don't. Maybe the engineers in Zuffenhausen have had their hands full fixing the spontaneous-combustion issues with the existing GT3, or maybe their attentions have been focused elsewhere altogether. But if these spy shots are anything to go by, it seems like they're back on the job.
Now we don't know if this prototype foreshadows a new GT3 RS or a GT2, but it sure looks more hard-core than the existing GT3 that many purists have derided as too soft, what with its automatic transmission and four-wheel steering.
