Dedicated WUF thread (inc full spec)

Thanks for the compliment, not that any of the work on this car was done by me, but it's still nice to hear. I'm falling in and out of love with the 944 as a car on an hourly basis at the moment. Fighting my naturally fickle nature which wants to move on after the 996 and try something new (T350c maybe)! I just can't seem to keep a car for more than 6 months without seeing greener grass on the other side of the fence. I know I'd regret this one for life if I let it go though. I always seem to find myself hankering after a 944 when I don't have one.

I don't know much about the details of the tuning set-up (something I really wish to rectify) so I don't want to miss-guide you but things Rick's said that have stuck in my mind are, the ignition is not particularly far advanced.. He apparently played with it from one extreme to another and found a middle ground to be best. The fuel pressure is kept low and the injectors are open for a longer duration because this helps the car idle with the 72lb injectors and the cam is a slightly longer duration with mainly more lift than anything else.

Regards,

Ben
 
Ben, turnkey is the way to go[8|]

seriously, if you want a car with 290 horses, then a Guru chip, DPW, 3Bar FPR, and a Boost guage manually adjusted to 1.2bar is fine, and 10 times better than a standard 951. But if you want 400 horses, the laws of diminishing returns make the whole thing a minefield, albeit a very interesting minefield.

My 951 has probably 320 horses at 1.1bar, which is great but I did not have to figure out the chip, injectors, ballast resistors, pistons, ball bearing turbo spec's. Just turn up, and if you like it buy it.

Rick must have spent hours in development, and perhaps much of the reason he has so much monitoring equipment is that he needed it to avoid damaging the engine during the development.

You could sell WUF Kits if you had a Chip, Injector, Camshaft, Turbo, Exhaust, Intercooler, Ignition,etc etc Package. For some reason I think your car has some really great features such as the adjustable voltage regulator, thats a really good bit of ignition spark optimisation. Also the optimised Throttle body screws.
Your engine really was keen to rev at the top end in that promo video you made[8D]

I was surprised you reverted to the smooth badge panel, and now I'm confused which I prefer[8|]

keep up the good work

I have phoned about the badge panel and it should be delivered this week. I'll swap you for a le mans classic camping pass;)

George,

I'm not sure which I prefer either in terms of looks. Wuf does look really something in the flesh now. Those dull lightless evening phone pics just don't do the car justice. I liked the old look but I'm in no hurry to change it.

 
Ben,
I really really wish the Classic was on again this year, great time and memories, say hello from me to your mob (Tristan and Co) good banter, great people !
Silverstone Classic Camping this year.........Be There !
 
Hey Ben!

WUF is looking fantastic, well done getting her back on the road... Bet you're happy hunting rice rockets in her!
 
Jon! Is this your profile? How are you doing? Is the workshop up and running? I know keeping busy was never a prblem for you. I'll have to pop in and see you with WUF as soon as I get back from Venice! It'd be great to see you guys again, chat about what's currently going on in the world of Bournemouth and 9xx tuning. You're my local now, really should pop in?

Regards,

Ben


 
Frenchy I will do and if I'm home at the right time I'll defintely be at Silverstone as its only 15mins from my family's home. Not sure I'll be camping but will definitely come and see you guys.

Hi Ben,

How is Venice? Small world, I was there two weeks ago on business, well mostly Treviso around the corner actually, where the Benetton HQ is, lots of "Porsche Porn" and good coffee!

The JMG workshop is indeed up and running, it never closed. But as some of you will already know, we were in the process of restructuring the businesses (JMG-Porsche, JMGShop and 9XX) last summer when we experienced the death of two members of the family/team, so we did adopt a low profile in the summer while we all got over the loss and completed some of the restructuring.

So the new complete team line up is myself (obviously), Lindsay, Mark, Jamie, Declan, Jordan and Anthony our odd job boy. I think you already know Mark, Declan and Jamie in the JMG Workshop.

On the 9XX front we have some very nice new products both developed and in development for the 944 models as well as the other models up to the 2011 Porsche models :eek:)

Would love for you to pop in with WUF, have a coffee and catch up.

All the best

Jon Mitchell
 
Jon, it would be nice if you could give us a sneak peak or hint at some of the upcoming products for the 944 market?
