1987 Porsche 944 Turbo ( 951 ) on 2040-cars
East Hartford, Connecticut, United States
|
For sale is a beautiful 1987 944 Turbo. I spent many hours working and modifying this vehicle and getting it to where it is today. Unfortunately all good things must come to an end and I have no choice but to sell. Let me start out by saying this car is NOT STOCK! It has been modified! With that said it has been modified to modernize the vehicle in how it operates and performs. These are good things if you want more power and a smoother drive! The car runs great and the engine is very strong with great leak-down test results! Car shifts great with no grinding! This car is a blast to drive and I thoroughly enjoy on-ramps and windy roads! These cars were know for there 50/50 weight distribution and are not rear-end heavy like their 911 Cousins. The car looks great and I get many compliments when I go out. This car is complete and a true daily driver! Although the car has never been dynoed I estimate this vehicle to have approximately 340 rear wheel horsepower. The car has never been tracked and was garaged for most of its life. The car starts every time and idles great! It has a nice deep growl but nothing to crazy! Engine: Fresh Rebuilt Engine Low Miles on it. No scoring on cylinder walls. Fresh rebuilt cylinder head with valve guides replaced. (New Head Gasket and Timing Belt) New spark Plugs and wires Mods: Tial Dual Port Wastegate (factory was single port) / Black Knob Boost Controller / In Console Boost Gauge / In Console Innovate Air/Fuel Ratio Gauge / Fuel Rail Pressure Gauge / Silicone Vacuum Hoses throughout / Aluminum Lightweight Racing Flywheel Spec Stage 1 Clutch / Full 3" Lindsey Racing Exhaust included with High Flow Cat insert or Straight Pipe insert / Lindsey Racing Super 53 Turbocharger (Garrett Hybrid), Less than 5,000 miles on new turbo / The Turbo is much bigger than the stock unit but is much more advanced and is a good ratio of power to lag. This is a dry turbo set-up (oil cooled only) and the stock coolant lines to the turbo have been removed and blocked off. 55# Fuel Injectors / Billet Blow Off Valve. I run the vehicle (as do many others) without the front plastic engine cover. This allows easy viewing of the belts to monitor their condition. Engine Management: This vehicle was recently set up with a Rogue Tuning Custom Tune System (M-Tune Varient) complete with MAP Sensor, Quad MAF Unit, and Custom Rogue Tuning Chips. This system has a can be made to work with E-85 and but currently chipped for premium unleaded fuel with overboost protection set at 18 PSI to ensure longevity of the engine. This Rogue Tuning System is night and day over the old 1980's stock computer chip and air box set up. More information can be found on this website: www.roguetuning.com Body Upgrade: Fiberglass Front Splitter / Fiberglass Vented Nose Panel (helps get more air into intercooler) Fresh Paint Job (2yrs old) 17" Factory BBS Wheels painted charcoal gray. The vehicle has really low miles, a clean history, and is accident FREE! Here are some issues so there are no surprises: The A/C Compressor will need to be replaced these can be sourced used or new on Ebay. Body: There is a small paint chip on drivers side door and one on the passenger side mirror. A paint chip kit could be ordered and this issue fixed easily I just don't have the time. There is a little paint overspray in the engine compartment and underneath the vehicle. Overall the paint looks fresh and bright!! Interior: The passenger seat has a small tear near the seam and the arm rest has a tear near the hinge. The interior is overall in really great shape. There is a small imperfection on the dash board where it looks like the previous owner repaired a small dash crack. All three of these issues are common on these 25+ year old cars. These cars are classic and not everything is going to be perfect as if it just rolled off the assembly line. Other details: The car is currently running the stock suspension which still performs great. I would recommend upgrading to a stiffer suspension if you were planning on tracking the vehicle. Same goes for the brakes...these are stock Brembo units that work great but if you were to track the car I would maybe upgrade them to a more modern setup. I don't have the spare tire or the jack in the vehicle or the original sales documents or user manual. Cruise Control is not hooked up and not sure if it works. The huge stock steering wheel was taken off and replaced with a small MOMO race three spoke wheel! The horn button on the wheel does not work but I have installed a dedicated red Horn button to the left of the wheel on the front dash. If you have any other questions or concerns please don't hesitate to email and ask! I've really tried to include everything I can think of so you can bid with confidence!!!! |

Magnus Walker shows us how driving in LA is done
Tue, May 12 2015Southern Calfiornia has some great driving roads if you can get out of the city, from the Angeles Crest Highway to Mulholland Drive. Driving in LA itself, on the other hand, is usually more of an ordeal than a pleasure. But Magnus Walker is here to show us we're wrong. In this latest, artfully produced video for eGarage, everyone's favorite outlaw Zuffenhausen enthusiast takes to the streets of Los Angeles in his highly modified 1971 Porsche 911T street racer, carving his favorite route through the city. The drive takes him through plenty of tunnels (so you'll want to turn up your speakers to hear the exhaust note reverberate), around corners aplenty, past the Petersen and even down some freeways – it is LA, after all. But the key here is that he's driving late at night, when the streets are empty and Magnus can do his best homage to C'etait un rendez-vous.

How the 2016 Porsche 911 Carrera S falls short of perfection
Tue, Mar 15 2016We know Harry Metcalfe loves a good Porsche 911. After all, he's shown off his personal 1989 Porsche 911 Turbo and 993 GT2 replica in previous videos. However, he can't seem to muster so much passion for the forced induction engine in the 2016 911 Carrera S. The chassis impresses him, but in Metcalfe's latest clip, he explains why he's not a huge fan of the new powerplant. Before any actual driving, Metcalfe takes a thorough walk around the new car where he goes to the unusual trouble of using a magnet to show which parts are steel and which are aluminum. Remember, though, this is a 911. So, this latest refreshed model, just like all previous remodels, isn't all that aesthetically different from the previous version. So, Metcalfe's real focus here is on how it drives. He comes away with mixed impressions. Metcalfe loves the 2016 911's handling, especially the directness from the rear-wheel steering, but he isn't in love with the new engine. At least with the seven-speed manual, he complains of turbo lag below 3,000 rpm. He also misses the direct throttle response from the previous naturally aspirated unit and doesn't think the turbocharged mill's fuel economy is very impressive. Take a ride with Metcalfe to get the full experience and intriguing take about the biggest change in more than a decade for the iconic 911.

A beastly 1979 Porsche 930 is unleashed by Petrolicious
Thu, Nov 12 2015The 911 Turbo held a special place in Porsche's lineup for decades. Much of the mystique came from its performance potential, but that huge capability also required a deft hand and foot to keep things in check. These days even the most basic 911 packs turbos, but Grant Karnes and his 1979 Porsche 930 demonstrate why the early models remain classics in the latest video from Petrolicious. Karnes says he gets attention from everyone he passes in his 930, and it's easy to understand why. Even before the coupe comes into view, the upgraded, turbocharged engine pops and crackles with a wonderfully raw sound. People then see the Porsche's classic combination of wide fenders and a big rear spoiler. Karnes also adds a vintage racing vibe with Martini decals on the hood and doors, and his license plate tells folks exactly what kind of machine this is. Plus, if you happen to spot this car at night, the exhaust can shoot bursts of flames. Porsches are a fairly common subject in Petrolicious' videos, and they run the gamut from well-worn classics to heavily modded canyon carvers. Karnes' 930 leans more in the latter direction but still maintains a vintage look. He promises the coupe is always exciting to drive, and this clip does a fantastic job of showing why.
