­1986 Porsche 944 Turbo S Replica – 951 This is a Turbo S Recreation prepared as the ultimate street legal Track Car for dual-purpose HPDE/street duty. Comfortable enough to drive daily - safe, predictable, and fast enough to terrorize at the track. If you’re looking for a garage queen please keep looking – if you’re looking for a Porsche that’s been driven the way the good Germans intended, maintained meticulously, and, modified for safety, reliability, and speed - then this might be the car for you. Comfortable enough to drive from Michigan to Georgia (Roebling Road), Virginia (VIR), Minnesota (Brainerd International) or just Ohio (Mid-Ohio) - but track oriented enough to run with GT3s, M3s, Corvettes and the like once you get there. In many ways my car compares favorably to the ‘real’ Turbo S Upgrades. My car is a 1986 standard Porsche 944 Turbo upgraded to 'near S' specs... and in some cases improved specs (adjustable camber, larger improved turbo, race seats, etc.): Stock Turbo S 1986 Turbo S Reproduction FOR SALE K26-70 Turbo K26-8 Larger Turbo modified by Vitesse Larger 4-piston brakes from 928 S6; smaller in rear 4-piston fixed caliper Brembo brakes all 4 wheels Limited slip differential Limited slip differential Anti-lock brakes Real men don’t use anti-lock Stiffened torsion bars 30mm stiffened torsion bar Stiffened anti-sway bars M030 anti-sway bars: 30mm front, 22mm rear Adjustable Koni shocks Adjustable Koni shocks & Adjustable Camber Plate Funky plaid interior Custom perlon carpet and Corbeau Race Seats Suspension Porsche 968 M030 anti-sway bars Front diameter 30 mm Rear diameter 22 mm New updated 968 Porsche links and bushings Adjustable Koni dampers Front spring rate 350# Adjustable front spring collar Rear spring rate 30mm torsion bar (largest available – and preserves stock mounting for forces – rate comparable to front) Corner Balanced KLA Strut Brace Racers Edge adjustable camber plates New OE bushings OEM Control Arm bushings Weltmeister Inner Spring Plate Bushings 968 Style Caster Blocks New OE lower control arms and ball joints Brakes Factory 944 Turbo Fixed Calipers quick change clip – 1 min per corner Professionally cleaned & rebuilt approx. 5000 miles ago Performance Friction 97 Compound pads Street pads Zimmerman x-drilled rear rotors OE style front rotors Stainless Steel Brake Lines Safety Custom-built Jerry Sidock designed roll bar from B Pillars back 6 point welded construction – custom fit to provide maximum cargo space in rear hatch Absolutely perfect fit, finish, and vehicle integration Vertical Main Hoop for ultimate safety Harness Mount Custom welded-in cage, tight to perimeter of vehicle preserves the huge storage space in rear hatch (carry all four track tires, tools, chairs, etc. to the track) Corbeau Forza race seats, suitable for 6-point harnesses Black upholstery 3” cam-lock harnesses for both driver and passenger Schroth eyelets and backing plates Positioned for safe and comfortable belt angles Two separate eyelets for anti-sub belts for a true 6-point setup Reliability New metal impeller water pump installed with recent engine rebuild New OEM radiator and hoses; aluminum thermostat housing, new thermostat, and gaskets Redline MTL in transaxle Redline Water Wetter in cooling system Fluids replaced every ~2 years Mobile 1 15W-50 in engine every 3000 miles Engine / Drivetrain Recent engine rebuild K26/8 “cheater turbo” from Turbo S Turbo custom modified by Vitesse for faster spool-up and higher top end than standard K26/8 Slightly larger than stock for increased power Tial dual-port wastegate Lindsey Racing adjustable boost control New updated metal impeller water pump kit New timing belt Reworked high flow fuel injectors Gates Racing Timing / Balance / Roller Kit Lindsey Racing 3” Exhaust Lindsey Racing Performance Chip Lindsey Racing Boost Enhancer SPEC Stage 2 Clutch Fidanza Lightweight Aluminum Flywheel Limited Slip New OE Engine Mounts Custom A-Pillar Two-gauge Pod Boost Gauge & Air / Fuel Gauge Lindsey Racing Idle Stabilizer Hoses with Venturi Delete Kit Interior / Other Custom, Dark Charcoal Purlon Carpet (the same light weight material found on early 911s) RS Rear Seat Delete Momo Steering Wheel Backdated to Porsche OEM Manual Steering Rack for improved feel and no power sapping power steering pump Aftermarket Stereo plays nicely Power sunroof motor removed to save weight – sunroof caulked to keep water out Tinted Windows Wheels Car comes with one set of wheels… negotiable on all wheels… possibilities: Factory Fuchs with General UHP Ultra High Performance Street Tires Highly desirable and valuable wheels Black with polished lip 7x16 front with 225-50-16 General UHP tires – 90% tread 8x16 rear with 225-50-16 General UHP tires – 90% tread, and 20mm TÜV certified, bolt-on, 21mm H&R wheel spacers OE Porsche Phone Dials with Hoosier R6 Track Tires OE Silver finish 8x16 on all four with 245/45ZR16 tires Two (2) sets: OE Porsche Phone Dials with Track Tires Wheels painted yellow with red speckles 7x15 front and rear square setup One set: (2) 225/45R15 Hoosier R6 tires & (2) Kumho Ecsta V700 R-Compound tires One set: (4) 245/50ZR15 Hoosier R6 tires Disclosure Odometer was broken for a bit:; so, actual mileage unknown; reads 50,xxx (estimated 55-60k actual) This car is 28 years old - there are a few paint chips from use – car looks good from 10’ and great at 100 MPH!
