Finally, the engine for my 944 has arrived. It's a flat 6 from a 930! (that's a 2nd generation 911 if you don't know) http://www.ebay.com/itm/Porsche-911-930-964-Motoruberholung-3-0-3-3-L-Turbo-/111410469369?hash=item19f094d9f9:g:dfYAAOSw9NxTx3dh&vxp=mtr It's from a 3.0 Turbo, that's why that intercooler is there. It has around 300hp, you might think why did i spend so much if i could get a 2JZ with the same power for way less money. The thing is, i wanted to keep it a little bit original, even if the stock 944 engine is a 2.5 4 cylinder, but this flat 6 is still from a Porsche, so it's kinda original. And i also got a new battery.
When the engine was on my way to me, i made some exhaust pipes. I just took 2 steel pipes and sent them to a metal processing company to be chromed, now they shine like a diamond. π And i'll hear the flat 6 loud and clear.
After we put the engine in, there was just some wiring to do (a lot actually) and the 944 is now ready for the road! Which means i registered it ASAP. It needed homologation because it's far from stock π and i got an awesome plate for it, that cost me some more but whatever.
Here's a shot of its maiden voyage. π
This car will be great for shows cause it attracts a whole lot of attention, i already saw that heads were turning when i was driving it today.
