I saw a ad on gumtree early today about parts for the 924 and called the guy up and went to pick it up 2 hours later

I got
1 Short engine ( lower part ) needs a head
1 5Spd Gearbox + Diff
2 Front shock , A arms and complete brake 4 lug brakes on them
1 Altenator
1 Starter
1 Oil pump
1 Water Pump
1 Rear Hatch
1 Clutch + Pressure Plate
1 Targa Sunroof

All that for $100
and about $50 On fuel


What will i need to complete the head , I want to do this one euro spec , as far as i know euro Spec is more Hp. Then convert this to EFI and try SuperCharging it. Ideas?

Thanks

Euro spec has more compression ratio (and more timing), which is not always compatible with supercharging (can work with a turbocharger and lower boost pressure levels).

I think you get to build a high-compression motor OR supercharge it, not both.

My car will have forced induction, which is why I left it with low compression and throttle bodies that are way, way too big (45mm). While I prepare the heavy breather for it, I'll have a dog of a car to poodle around in and dial in the tuning.

Um, a head? Not quite sure what you're asking there..?

You're in luck. You're in Australia. They're all "Euro" spec. 9.3:1 compression, if I'm not mistaken. That's probably too high to supercharge/turbocharge safely at boost levels any higher than a few psi. But you'd have to ask the experts to be sure.
