Met up with my buddies at Sunday Motor Co for breakfast. We hit some back roads then split. I wanted to keep going so I made my way to the Hawks Nest. 10/10 day. Saw 3 other 944s

Question Odd question about sudden increased power.

5 Upvotes

I have an 87 Turbo with a rebuilt Evergreen turbo and a chip. Tonight I was driving home and got into the left turn lane, downshifted to 2nd to slow down and then changed my mind. I was at about 3k RPMs and accelerated out of the lane to continue straight.

The car felt normal with the turbo spooling then kicking in, but after a moment I got a sudden boost that definitely wasn’t normal. The car surprised me with more torque and power than I’m used to and the pedal wasn’t even all the way to the floor. It felt awesome! It mellowed out and went back to normal as I shifted into 3rd and beyond. I wasn’t able to duplicate it again the rest of the way home even under wide open throttle.

The car drives great and the rebuilt Turbo really pulls, but those few moments tonight were a different level.

Any thoughts on what could explain this? I don’t think it’s my imagination. I don’t rag my car, but I’m also not a stranger to letting it eat either.

Question Wiring harness connectors

Howdy folks
Will be soon wrapping up the main engine work for my project 951. I've got 2 connectors at the end of the topside wiring harness and one of them I know goes to the AFM. The other one I have no idea. This car has had a Rogue Tuning MAF/MAP conversion kit installed so the AFM is no longer in and I've never had it, so I don't know for sure. Pics attached. Also if anyone has a wiring harness map they found or made, that would be extremely helpful. Thanks guys!

Who here has dealt with rewiring their fuse box? Currently have the fuse box apart to clean and mainly clean corrosion. But the rats nest of wiring is triggering, especially the aftermarket wires someone else has installed. How did you go about fixing the mess?

Question Help getting pinyon out of PS rack

Post image
1 Upvotes

Hi all, I just finished rebuilding my power steering rack for my early ‘85 944 and while putting it back together I must’ve re-installed the pinyon incorrectly, because I can’t get it all the way down and I also can’t get it back out. I believe the metal “washer” (not sure if it’s called a washer, but the first metal ring that sits on top of the pinyon, not the second one) will not budge. I’ve tried heating it up with a heat gun, prying out from the bolt holes, etc. and cannot get it.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
