i just purchased a 1990 Porsche 944 turbo s2 and i was wondering are there any body kits made for it cause its going to be using it as my new track automobile replacing my Mercedes Benz c class amg. and also i was wondering if there was a twin turbo kit for the Porsche 944 turbo s2
Answer:
First off, you might want to check what you have, as there’s no such automobile as a 944S2 Turbo… in 1990 there was a 944S2, which is normally aspirated, and a 944 Turbo, a 944 Turbo S.
If you are planning to use this as a track automobile, any of the basic bodywork that was used by the 944 Cup Automobiles are readily available from most fabricators that do prep work on Porsches. If you’re speaking about other bodykits, while some of these might look good (or not, depending on taste), they are at ideal, break even parts for a track automobile and will not gain you anything (other than a lighter wallet). GT-Racing.com has a good selection of racing bodywork.
As for twin turbo kits, yes, there are lots of options out there… but again, this is an unusual path for a track automobile. If you’ve a 944S2, any real performance gains in this area will require a complete trade-off in reliability. And given the pressures of hard track use, I'd expect rebuilds to come so often as one season would quickly make it most cost effective to go purchase a new GT3 Cup automobile.
If you have a 951 (ie, 944 Turbo), then at least the engine is already set for such a setup, but to what gain? Such a change is apt to have a very negitive impact on your classing, and the real performance gain would be very minimal since you will almost always be in the upper rev-range and at full boost when on the track. It seems there are much cheaper ways to make your automobile extremely uncompetitive (though if you wanted to go that route, Devek would be a good first stop given there overall expertise with the front engined Porsches).
