i like it. did u do it or renegade?

[LS1Porch]

Thanks! I did the labor, but it's a renegade kit for the most part. :)

Prehistoric engine? The LS1 is more advanced than the 944 engine...

Your statement clearly shows you know NOTHING about this conversion, or the LS-1 engine. I think you just like being a prick. Its easy to be one on the internet. *If you were to take a 944 turbo (951), and remove the Porsche engine and all the supporting systems like the intercooler and oil cooler, then install a stock LS-1 with AC, power steering, the works, your weight bias from front to rear would stay within 1% of stock! Yet, your HP and, especially your torque, would increase substantially.

@187megalomaniac oh sweet. 

[187megalomaniac]

@MangoSmoothie16 Renegade still makes the kit, check the site. It says that LT-1 kits and kits for 924 have been discontinued in faver of LS series kits for the 944.

Since the renegade kit isnt made anymore.... how complicated is this to do with a 944S, LS1 and turbo transaxle and clutch?

Well damn. I never would have thought of that but that is sick. Very nice.

My brother had a Powerhaus upgraded car and it was very good. When the engine went, he did the LSX conversion. It handled almost exactly the same and was quicker and faster. I liked both versions of the same car. The turbo upgrades were tremendous but very expensive. The LSX is more powerful and infinitely more reliable though.
