944 Q
What is a 944 na? What is the na for? I have a 944, but it isn't a 944S or a 944 Turbo, so does that make mine a 944 na?
(I'm sure Mr. Pilkington will chime in on this...;)) |
RE: 944 Q
Normally Aspirated (ie. non turbo)
You have a 944 NA |

Ah. Makes sense. Thanks a lot.

RE: 944 Q
ORIGINAL: ZOD Normally Aspirated (ie. non turbo) Yours is an N/A indeed. Anything non turbo, turbo S nor S2 is considered N/A. Not in itself all too bad of a decision. First of all a turbo's bring with them allot of added maintenance, as well as risk. Especially when you car get up in the years. I have found that on average the turbo will have to be rebuilt no less than once throughout the life on an engine. This means that if you engine requires a rebuild after 300 thousand miles that approximately after every 150 thousand the turbo will need a rebuild or complete replacement. Also, while it provides more boost, a Turbo is always subject to “Turbo Lag,” that is the amount of time it takes for the exhaust gas to fully spool the turbo’s massive turbine fan. And I have found that with some simple and relatively inexpensive at-home mods one can easily make his N/A our perform a stock Turbo 944. The reason I chose to go N/A? Most Supercharger kits are built to adapt strait to the NA engine. [sm=badbadbad.gif] |

Sounds like a bad TPS and DME relay.

RE: 944 Q
You're all wrong. "n/a" stands for. . .
Drum roll. . . Some of you know what's coming. . . Here it is. . . NO ACCELERATION!!! |
RE: 944 Q
Really? Tell me what "inexpensive at home mods" I can do to my 944. I'll gladly volunteer to do them AND to benchmark test your theory by running it head-to-head against my stock 951. Oh please enlighten me Mr. Pilky. What'd you have in mind? The "Vornado"? Maybe an "electric supercharger"? Perhaps a leaf blower to force air into it? No! Wait! I've got it! 50 leaf blowers duct-taped to the rear quarter panels to "blow" the car forward. Genius!
