What engine would Veeky Forums put in a 944?

bmw s85

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.

Big V8, always fun.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

might be to wide

ls

a diesel from a vw or audi.

Someone's done it.

This one

Something that won't overtax the driveshaft.

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

You mean the torque tube?

Yes. I'm using Veeky Forums language.

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

>evenly matched
The FC ran circles around the 944

3S-GE BEAMS Blacktop

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

Interesting option. I like it.

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.

put that in a 924


probably a 1jz vvti

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
