Hey Guys I am wondering what engine to stick into my 1982 924 Turbo. The 931 is a good solid engine I know, but I want something a little bit more beefy. I would like to keep it Porsche, but I don't want to do any major modifications to the engine compartment in order to make this engine fit. I was wondering about a little Japanese engine, bit I don't know. If you guys know that any 911 or any other beefier engines than the 1982 1924 Turbo that would fit, please private message me or post a reply.
Thanks a bunch
John

We have an entire section for this kind of thin Johhny.

Good luck.

I suggest you do a search, and then you'll find out that the 2.0 block is one of the strongest and can deal with 300hp and more. Do a total overhaul plus new pistons (flat-tops) add an intercooler and you have strong, powerful and reliable engine.

GT32 71mm 52 trim .52a/r (use a #6)
I don't usually post turbo selections

This map is perfectly suited for the 931 - the compressor is for 420 HP.
The 924S/944 Motronic may be used (fully tuneable)
Weber style TB's with a rail.
All the Motronic sensors work beautifully.

By the way - you will find that early turbo production motors (across the board - Japanese, German, etc.) were more stoudtly built initially - to account for a certain degree of uncertainty. This is the reason that the 931 has piston oil squirters, and my 951 does not, for example.

Hey - I have a 924S

.

And I am going to get a 931 soon and get 375 RWHP out of it on stock block. Then I am going to tell everyone what I used because John doesn't sell 931 stuff!

8 valve man!! Fill em up fast and get out of that corner!! 931 is not a 200 HP car - it is a 400 HP car.

I will report immediately when I have the 931 chip for the 944 Bosch DME in my hands - won't be long.
It will be tuned with SMT6 and Zeitronix - works well.

Then I am going to LRP and bitch-slap a few Evos into the weeds with my 2400 pound 924....muhahahahah

Hehe, then there'll be couple of ~400 hp 931's on the streets, because in Sweden theres already two of them and I'm in progress of completing one with a K28 compressor and EMS.....someday

Raceboy - before you get the triple K - have a look at the Garret map of the compressor above........

That's okay - still good for 375 RWHP.
You'll be the first to know about it, my man.

Using the 924S EFI on a 931, BRILLANT!

Can't wait for the instructions, the chip, and a fuel rail!

Moi, pessimistic? Never...

Nah, it's not that I doubt you can get near 400hp out of a toofah Turbo. I know it's possible, Porsche did it.

And good luck to anyone who can/does do it. I'm just jealous!

Still, sometimes I wish someone would come up with a simple, easy to fit intercooler kit or whatever that gave a reasonable boost in horsepower, y'know? Something that doesn't need hours, days, weeks of thinking and re-thinking, custom fabrication of parts and mounts that are out of the realms of possiblities for people like me.

I mean, if I had a WRX, I could walk into the local APS dealer and buy cheap upgrade that'd give me a gazillion more horsepower.

After 25 years I still can't buy a bolt-in intercooler for my toofah...
