944 Turbo BHP figures

[allgonepetetong]

Hi all

I was looking at a US 944 turbo tuners website the other day and came across this:

www.lindseyracing.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=LR&Category_Code=944PACK340

It's a 340 rear wheel horsepower bolt on kit consisting of a new larger hybrid turbo, exhaust, Mass Air flow Meter, Chips, Wastgate etc etc.

Now while I have no doubt this works as it's backed up by numerous race cars and dyno plots etc, how much crank BHP would this be do you think?

The 944 turbo is 217 and 250 bhp depending on year as quoted by the factory, is this rear wheel or crank?

cheers and looking forward to your thoughts

Pete.

Add between 18 and 20%, i think that's the way it's done but i might be wrong??

Do Porsche quote crank or rear wheel BHP figures?

Hi guys,

My 944 turbo track/race car is pushing out 387BHP at the rear wheels running 1.4 bar boost. that equates to approximately 450 at the engine.The dyno plots ranged from 285 at the wheels at 1 bar boost to the above.

Running the Lindsay #61 turbo, stage 2 intercooler, pauter rods, bigger injectors, uprated clutch etc.

Hope this helps.

Andy.

Porsche standard proceedure is a conservative flywheel BHP figure.

We recently had a UK privately built 944 Turbo produce 404 BHP Extrapolated flywheel on our dyno. This was c330 BHP at the rear wheels.

Hopefully there will be one or two other 944T close to that figure at the 944 Dyno Day at Weltmeister next weekend. There are a couple of cars running almost identical setups to the Lindsey 340 kit so it will be interesting to see the figures on a rolling road as accurate as Allans

.....or there could be many tears

Could be many tears indeed.......

Would you mind posting back and letting me know how you get on, I'm thinking about one of these kits so any comparable experience would be much appreciated.

thanks

Shortly afterwards there will be a seperate page in the events section of www.cannell.co.uk/ with scans of all the Dyno sheets cross referenced with any or all modifications on each vehicle.

The aim is to show a comprehensive guide to all the different tuning goodies for 944T and their real (or supposed) benefit without any marketing speak

the site is down just now having exceeded its bandwidth limit
