Is the Porsche 944 Turbo an LS1 car?
There are few driving experiences as visceral as this 944 Turbo with an LS1. The engine fires on command, idles smoothly, and pulls like a freight train all the way to redline. There are no oil leaks or drips. The clutch has zero slip, the take-up is correct, and the shifter is crisp.
What was the model year of the 1987 Porsche 944?
It is finished in the 1987 model-year-only Summer Yellow over Black leather with yellow piping—1 of approximately 175 Summer Yellow 944s.
What kind of brakes does a Porsche 944 Turbo have?
The 944 Turbo transaxle (which has the taller naturally-aspirated 944 5th gear) was supported with a reinforcement plate to handle the extra power. The power steering and air conditioning were deleted, and a Mustang brake booster was added with an adjustable Wilwood proportioning valve powering the stock 944 Turbo brakes.
What’s the difference between a 914 and 944 Turbo?
To accommodate this the hood latch assembly was replaced with Aerocatch hood latches and a 914 driver’s headlight dual motor conversion. The end result is staggering performance from a 944 Turbo that has the looks and color rarity to match. The LS1 adds nearly 150 more horsepower with no additional weight.
