whats up guys my friend is lookin at 944turbos but he has a speed jones "i want the fastest thing on street" is what he says. now hes realy pissin me off because every time i tell him how to do some thing right and that he should keep the stock motor he comes up w some riced out idea like swapin a sr20-det in to it and now he wants to put a rb26-det in and im like bro that wont fit and of course he says well make it fit. anyway i would rather see him in a 80's 911 and throw on a turbo kit,rims,tires,breaks and call it a day but he has his heart set on a 944 and i can get him a mint 944 from my dads friend but i dont wana see him chop it up. basicaly what can he do to keep up w a e46 M3 and a 04 rustang cobra(the one w/ the blower)and please flame on my buddy cause im goin to print this out and show him how stupid he sounds
thanks in advance for helpin out my noob friend

 

Yes your friend should be drawn and quartered in the street and dogs should consume his torn flesh.

Yes, it is a shame to chop up a mint 944, it is also a shame that people rice out cars. It would be doubly a shame if he chopped up a great car to rice it out.

There are much better looking cars out there to rice than a Porsche 944. Try putting the Lamborghini/90's Nissan 300ZX idea past him. I've seen a 300ZX with some body mods and tubbed for Lambo wheels that look uber-sexy, and you get a motor to boot that nobody will cry if it gets wasted fo a Skylne motor swap out, but is still good to go to the limit if you want it to.

 

You can make the 944 turbo engine very fast with the right upgrades, but it will be spendy. If he can drop 4k into mods, the car will be scarey fast. Look up some of the packages at www.vitesseracing.com, John is one of the best 944 tuners out there, and his kits make some mad horsepower, stage III for about 3.5k will have the motor well into the 400's, which will smoke almost anything out there within reason (though you would need to upgrade the clutch at the same time, so figure another 1k). Otherwise look at chips, exhaust, wastegate, bigger turbo, injectors, boost controller, etc. A very mildly tuned 944 turbo will run circles around an early 80's 911 turbo, though the 930's do look kick a$$. I would stay away from the 911, just because you are talking serious money to upgrade, and also, most early 911's that i see, need some sort of engine work to stop oil leaks, etc, which is very expensive to do. 5k will do very little to rebuilding a 911 motor.
