Yes. It was not too bad but it was there.

@@petetjjj Thanks. The droning from my Hush mufflers is too much for daily. Just want to know if resonators decreased the drone. I think I'm going that rougd by adding some.

When I removed the factory resonators it had a drone. But it made a noticable difference in performance. I never got to try aftermarket resonators because i got t-boned and it destroyed the car. I have a 2014 SRT 392 super bee now and the sound is perfect. If you want a slight muscle car sound without drone I would suggest this system if it isn't too pricy. All of the other aftermarket systems are too loud for eveey day.

I didn't use either kit. I designed my own. I built the headers as well.

I dont blame you for that .the adapter kits are pricey The torque tube adapter is really pretty simple and after I had already bought one I seen it was not to hard to make on a lathe . But I made all my own other components . You did a nice job on yours . My compliments @@petetjjj

Thank you. I am building a shop now ( home shop) I need to finish the A/C and spend some time tuning it. I'm anxious to begin another project. Don't know what yet. I would like to build an early CUDA and use a late 392 hemi but they are insanely priced in any condition. Also thinking about an old school v8 Vega.

Yea the Vega is a cool build .A friend of mine has a Vega panel with a sbc and its fun . The Mopar stuff is really pricey .Got to have AC . Where Im at you need heat too LOL I look forward to seeing your next build . Your a good wrench . Im a retired veteran and a welder so thats all I do now is build stuff . @@petetjjj

@@SS1Garage I'm a mechanical engineer. I live in Tucson and we still need heat for a few months. It gets into the 30s at night sometines but also 115 in the summer. My new shop will have heat and A/C and likely a lift. I will finally have a place to work with space.

I'm not clear on what you mean by spindle. If you are talking about the stub shaft-- what connects the CV shaft to the rear hub they are the same on the N/A. Also the same as late air cooled Beetle. The N/A transaxle will not hold up long with a V8. For your car one from a 944 Turbo is best. The ratios age good as well.

@@petetjjj sorry some folks kept telling me it's a spindle but yes its the stub shaft I was referring to. Well alright,guess I'm going back on looking for a turbo trans. Thank you.

I did not buy a kit. I designed and made what I needed. I have a tranxaxle from a 1980 924 turbo with a European transaxle, G31. I made an adapter plate for the torque rube to the Chevy bellhousing, a pilot bearing adapter, motor mounts. I used a Milodon V8 Vega oil pan. I needed to make 1/4" spacers for the crossmember. I have a 944 Turbo radiator. I modified a 2nd gen LT1 intake to use on the gen 1 block and a FAST EZ EFI retrofit hit for a TPI.

Thank's, I'm a mechanical engineer by trade.

I have a G31 with European. Ratios and ring and pinion. Most of the gears used in this transaxle are the same as the 930 transaxle.

@@petetjjj awesome,thankyou

Thanks. Yes?, I still have the car. I have been working on building an unattached garage (mostly by myself) around work and family. I have not driven the car, i just have run it once a week I will get back to it after I finish the garage

I still have it. I havent driven it because I have been spending all of my spare time building a garage. I'm doing it all myself. It'a 4 car garage with a 10' celing and a bath room.

@@petetjjj Very nice. That is something I wish I had for my cars as well.

I've wanted a garage like this all of my life. Finally I'm going to have it. It will be drywalled inside painted an possibly porcelain floor tile. I have been told this is the tile to use for a garage. It also will have heat and A/C. I'm very excited. Already thinking about the next project. I would love to find a 70-74 6 cyl Cuda and put a late 392 (like my 2014 Super Bee) or a 70-73 Vega GT to build a Motion Super Vega clone.

@@petetjjj Sounds like the garage will be filled with great cars. Enjoy, I hope you post a video of the new garage when you are finished.

I don't know. The big block is a little wider and taller. I'm not certain if it is longer. Space is an issue. You would have to cut the hood for clearance and there isn't much extra space on the sides. The strut towers woild be the limiting area. The big block is also heavier so you would need heaver springs. There are many available. It is likely compareable to putting a big block in a Vega over a small block. On mine, I took quite a bit of weight off of the front of the car by eliminating the pop up lights and using a fiberglass GTS bumper. Also, using aluminun head, intake manifold, headeds, mini starter reduced the weight of the motor. So now the front of my car is slightly lighter than stock. You may be able to do it but it think it could need work around the strut towers at minimum.

No I does not. I originally had FAST EZ EFI on it with a modified LT1 FI intake and that fit under the hood. However after FAST talked me into the system I found out it cannot tune it there is less than 10" of vacuum at idle. With the cam I have it get 5" at idle. So I took off the EFI and put the carb on it so I could run the car. I don't want to cut the hood because it had a Carrera GTS scoop on it and I want to eventually put FI back on. I haven't found a hood to modify locally so I don't have a hood on it. I am building a detached garage now so I haven't done anything with the car for some time. When the garage is finished, I will decide if I will go with a less aggressive cam or go to a different FI that is fully programmable.

@@petetjjj Yeah I would go with a less aggressive camshaft. Maybe Comp cams XR270HR or Lingenfelter 219/219 camshaft. Awesome idle quality even with EFI and very responsive with decent aluminum heads and 10.5 compression.

Yes it is. But since the car is so light it still is incredibly fast off of the line. And it sounds good.

These headlights are what the 924 Carrera GTS had. mine are hand fabricated. There was a guy making a kit on the 944hybrids.forumotion.com/ forum. Maybe he is still doing it.

Hey Bob, thanks. I am living in Tucson now. No more Chicago. How's things?

@@petetjjj Left ciitown too I was in Idaho for 9 years I'm now in Ohio Switching to 5.3 LS Buick v6 was too much

I made a plate that goes between the torque tube and the Chevy bellhousing. I used a Dodge clutch disc in the Chevy clutch. Dodge has a 1" x 27 spling for many muscle cars in the 60s and 70's. It's not too difficult to make if you have a drill press and you know someone with a lathe.

I didn't use a kit. I designed and built everything myself. The motor mounts, bellhousing adapter, pilot bearing adapter, radiator mounts. I adapted a BMW hydroboost power brake unit to fit and plumbed up everything. I still need to finish the A/C though. I don't see an advantage with either motor. I just like old school v8's. The fireing order is different so they sound different. I like the small block sound over the LS. Everyone tells me that the LS makes more power. The car is already a monster with 500 HP. It only weighs 2800 pounds. The gear ratios are good for my set up. It just bites down and goes. I don't have everyone wanting to race either. I think they don't know what to make of it and it sounds nasty. The very first time I drove it to work a guy in a 70 Big Block Chevelle SS pulled up next to me and when the light turned green he just sat there.

I used a G31. This is from a 1980 us 924 turbo. It is basically what was used in the 924 Carrera GT & Carrera GTS/GTR and SCCA cars. Iswapped the ring and pinion to the European 4.125.

I'm so sorry to hear about your charger man, it's like losing a dog when your baby gets wrecked :( I'm glad your safe and thanks again for taking time out to answer my question. Your awesome.

What are you going to do about the hood? Also what intake manifold is used? The carb and air cleaner seem fairly low compared to some combinations. Nice job!

I will get to posting more. I am just beginning to get back into my cars. I was in a nasty car accidently a year ago that hurt my back and have finally recovered enough to start back. I'm planning on swapping to a slightly milder cam so I can put the fuel injection back on. That fits under the hood. Now I have a Weiand X-terminat or intake with a Holley 650 double pumper. I swapped to this so I could work the bugs out. I couldn't drive it with the FI that I had on it.

@@petetjjj I'm glad your recovering, I'm so sorry to hear about your accident! 😣 My best friend in the time since my first comment is almost done building an LS engine to drop into his 924s with the Le Mans body kit fitted nicely on it as well. Check him out on Insta @drivers_anonymous

With the carb, no.That's why the hood isn't on now. With the FI yes. I am going to replace the cam with a custom grind Comp cam. Then I will be able to put the FI back on and replace the hood.

It is a steel scattershield made for Chevy

It's leaking at the thermostat cover.

To put the Chevy in I bade an adapter plate to go between the chevy bellhousing and the Porsche torque tube. Then I made a pilot bearing adapter. I used a Chevy pressure plate and a Dodge 1" x 23 disc. I also made mount adapters to go from the Chevy mounts to the Porsche crossmember. I modified the power break booster mount to fit a BMW hydroboost power break unit so I could keep the power brakes. I built my own headers.

@@petetjjj now is that still possible being 17 and in a trade school for automotive LOL

@@theneckbreakers6836 It all depends on your current abilities. If you can do an accurate layout on aluminum plate then drill, tap and cut a hole (adapter plate) if you have somewhere that can do light machining using a lathe (pilot bearing adapter and torque tube centering sleeve) and welding (motor mounts you could do it. I think some of the shorty headers would fit. Everything else could be purchased.

Sort of. It is a 1984 truck 4 bolt block with a forged 283 crank, 4340 forged rods, ICON light weight forged pistons and light weight weight tool steel pins.

@@petetjjj That's really cool, I was looking at making a 302 from a 87 350 block with a aftermarket 283 crankshaft with the bigger rod and main journals, and a set of dz 302 heads with the bigger valves in a two door 87 Chevy Malibu for high revving engine. My dad has a 86 944 and I know the 924 runs off the same body and suspension which handles so well, but I was also curious what kind of cylinder heads are you running, and what kind of power does it make? Thanks

I used 2nd gen ProComp 64 cc heade with Stainless undercut swurl polished valves and 1.5 full roller rockers. I have a Howards 180345-10 roller cam. I have a Weiand x-cellerator intake ans a Holley 650 DP carb. I have FI for it but I need to get a fully programmable ECM to get it to run. According to my DYNO software it makes 520 HP @ 7200 RPM and 362 Pounds Feet @4800 RPM. I haven'had the car dynoed but it goes 0-60 in 3.45 sec (best time) and the car weighs 2780#-- this is with open headers and richened carb.

I live in cali so i have to result back to stock mufflers

The factory front pipe and the rest of the system is 2 1/4" I started with the turbo mufflers and Dynomax front pipe with is 2 1/2" I have a video with the resinators removed and dynomax 2 1/2" tail pipes.

I have another video after i cut off the resonators.

One c From Illinois before we moved and the second from Arizona where we currently live

One is from Illinois before I moved and the other is from Arizona after I moved.

Make a video, would love to see that process

I fabricated everything myself. The only thing I bought was the hydraulic throw out bearing.

Fronts are 17 x 7 w215/45WR17 and the rears are 17 x 8 w245/45WR17

petetjjj Thanks, I have my eye on doing a 944 LS

Thanks. The color is Blood Orange, it's a factory Porsche color. It looks red next to an orange car and it looks orange next to a red car.

petetjjj hey is there a way to contact you via email? I am currently trying to go about swapping a 924s into a chevy.

I just saw this. You can contact me at v8powered944@gmail.com

It's the euro-spec bumper

I have 220# 1" lower ft springs with Kony sport struts and 27mm rear torsion bars with Kony sport shocks. The stabilizer bars are from a 944 turbo--27mm front 16mm rear

They are Euromeister 17", 17 x 7 front and 17 x 8 rear
