Turbo 07K Build - Part 8 (Porsche 944 5 Cylinder Swap)

[@oliusmemes1088]

I just binged watched this series and I love it! Owning a VW 2.5 myself, this gives me hope :)

[@BoostBrothersGarage]

Awesome! Stay tuned for more!

[@davidcantrell5098]

Man that thing sounds great out off the box. WOW

[@BoostBrothersGarage]

Thanks!

[@castledben]

Bring this thing to a Cars and Coffee! I’m local and would love to see it - and to let it meet my AAN swapped Audi 90

[@BoostBrothersGarage]

Absolutely! Will be on the street in the next few weeks!

[@kylekloewer951]

Hey guys, stoked on the progress and that you guys stuck with this platform and have such a following now! I love what you guys are doing, keep it up! I haven't kept up with videos for a bit but here I am! Best of luck guys, I can hear a 5 cylinder in a future 944 of mine! Cheers

[@BoostBrothersGarage]

Thanks dude, appreciate it!

[@dr.frahnkensteeen4485]

This is Epic Mike. Thank you for all the extra information and explaining what is going on. Great video and they sound is what powers Moons

[@BoostBrothersGarage]

Thanks dude!

[@dr.frahnkensteeen4485]

@@BoostBrothersGarage You are very welcome. I think I am going to do the 07K first before the 2.7TT lol Depends on when I get another chassis.

[@BoostBrothersGarage]

Both would be awesome, one would just be easier haha. I know you love a good challenge though!

[@dr.frahnkensteeen4485]

@@BoostBrothersGarage Yes sir! lol. considering I have everything on shelf for the 2.7TT. I have been checking on 07K engines. They are reasonably priced. Might go with a NA version.

[@BoostBrothersGarage]

A built NA safari 944 would be AMAZING

[@gnrrpreacher]

Brother, I cannot wait to see this fully tuned. So excited!

[@BoostBrothersGarage]

Me too!

[@kerryL]

Every update builds anticipation. Thing thing will be scoooting indeed

[@BoostBrothersGarage]

Super excited!

[@rennkafer13]

Pretty awesome Mike... I may have to buy the same turbo. It's working out pretty well so far.

[@stevehavens7202]

Would like some info if you don't mind.

[@ramjam2102]

Car looks so clean, good work guys

[@BoostBrothersGarage]

Thanks!

[@frankleonard6291]

Great job, I hope it hold together

[@ttroygotknife]

The man with husky eyes!!!

[@BoostBrothersGarage]

Hahahaha

[@kowkes]

Man you guys are killing me. I wanted to keep my 84 944 with the stock na but this 07k sounds so good. Dam you. 😁

[@BoostBrothersGarage]

Hahaha, give in to the temptation!

[@kowkes]

@@BoostBrothersGarage haha. Not this time. Maybe in the coming years. Does your full swap kit come in a turbo setup? And I assume that I have to source the motor?

[@BoostBrothersGarage]

You would have to source the motor. We have bought multiple on eBay for $300 or less, shipped. The full swap kit does not come with a turbo as we wanted to let people spec their own setups.

[@udovdh]

Thanks for another video. Would be interesting to get a graph of some sorts that shows where what increment of VVT should be used. Torque is now roughly comparable to my 3 cylinder TDI which does 360 Nm much lower than 4000 rpm. I expect big gains with the 07K, still....!!

[@BoostBrothersGarage]

It was basically 10deg from 1500 to 4250, 15 degrees from 4250 to 5000 and either 10 or 5 from 5000 to 6000. That’s what I’m remembering off the top of my head.

[@udovdh]

@@BoostBrothersGarage I am no expert but it appears in Japanese engines VVT cuts in way later... Is that correct and why the difference here?

[@BoostBrothersGarage]

Not sure too be honest with you, we just did what the engine told us it liked best!

[@quinngilbert4996]

Epic content! I am loving it!

[@BoostBrothersGarage]

Thanks!

[@stlswagger]

Late to the party but just got an '85 944. This is very tempting but so is an LS swap

[@boostedgringo5885]

Torque curve should flatten out.

[@guntrain212]

I've got to ask - what's the deal with the taillights during the dyno pull? Loose connection, or a larger electrical issue?

[@thedukeplayz8630]

I love that rear wing!! Where did you get it?

[@al4079]

this is unbelievably cool. i would buy a 944 and 07k swap it if i had the money.

[@BoostBrothersGarage]

Start saving, it's worth it!

[@thescalefactorypl9932]

I started saving some time ago, gonna import rust free 944 with broken engine lol

[@jkinerk]

David is one of those guys who five years from now I swing by his house for a BBQ and say "wow, this is nice. what does he do?"

[@BoostBrothersGarage]

Hahahaha, so true

[@ROYALUSTER]

Sweet Baby Jesus!!!

[@feliperoballo3918]

what intake manifold is that?

[@BoostBrothersGarage]

It’s one we manufacture and sell

[@LTG1930]

An M133 AMG 2.0 T would be great in one of these cars

[@finnroen2334]

Can you say someting about lci, lce and LSA? If the non vvt kamtiming was, lets say 114/116 for 115 LSA, no wonder it improved if WWT changed it to 105/109 for LSA 107.

[@P1983sche]

30HP and better fuel efficiency too? I need this to happen to my 83 NA. 😂

[@BoostBrothersGarage]

Go back and check out our NA 07K swap. We did that in our track car and it was awesome! 944 turbo power from an NA 5 cylinder. Throw cams at it and make 220 wheel or so and spin it to 8500 rpm, all through the NA transaxle!

[@miguelsanchez6465]

hey guys what ecu are you using to run the 5 cylinder?

[@BoostBrothersGarage]

Performance Electronics PE3-8400 www.boostbrothersgarage.com/products/07k-standalone-ecu-swap-harness-package

[@creatoramongfriends]

What pressure were you running this time? I'm in the final stages of my turbo 07k build.

[@BoostBrothersGarage]

16 or so if I remember?

[@creatoramongfriends]

@@BoostBrothersGarage that's impressive on stock internals. I'm gonna be a wuss and run 8-10. (The lie I tell myself)

[@dgpgarage9291]

Are you gonna runthe DG fuel fitting on this car?

[@BoostBrothersGarage]

Not on this one, but it is an awesome piece we highly recommend!

[@BigGroupHug]

How much spark timing are you pulling to get that torque?

[@BoostBrothersGarage]

I don’t remember off the top of my head, but we are still relatively conservative as timing will be one of the last things to tune in. I think midrange was single digits and redline was 16?

[@miguelsanchez6465]

i own a golf with an o7k, do you know where i can get a turbo exhaust manifold for it? its n/a now and i want to add boost.

[@BoostBrothersGarage]

Here you go! We’ve got two in stock. www.boostbrothersgarage.com/product-page/spa-07k-turbo-manifold

[@miguelsanchez6465]

@@BoostBrothersGarage i was looking at one of these, they are good quality and make decent power?

[@rennkafer13]

@@miguelsanchez6465 it's the same manifold that the car he's tuning in the video has on it.

[@BoostBrothersGarage]

Yep!

[@OnlyTheFinest125]

Is there any guesstimate to the cost to this swap?? I want to start saving!

[@BoostBrothersGarage]

Depends on a lot of things, but a NA swap will cost you around 7k on the low end. Turbo would be closer to 10k. This build is probably 15k but it’s also got a 2k dollar turbo lol.

[@ndj4267]

Just waiting for my NA engine to blow so I can convince my wife on 07K build.

[@BoostBrothersGarage]

Go drive it around on the limiter for a while lol

[@toad0720]

I b drooling.

[@YellowSails420]

what rims are you running ?

[@BoostBrothersGarage]

They are Forgeline RS

[@happyfox711]

I don't have a clue, but isn't it normal to get your horses out of an engine just above 4000 and up ?

[@angulon79]

Mpg????

[@mikeh7666]

Siiiiiiiick

[@Evocati-Augusti]

all the power is in the 5-6000

[@BoostBrothersGarage]

The VVT wasn’t tuned right in this video. It’s typically 4500 to 7000, but as we increase power we are running out of air and need bigger cams.

[@Namesi]

I'ma guess it added 25hp

[@BoostBrothersGarage]

Pretty solid guess!

[@Namesi]

Wow! That was some serious boost in torque for just messing with timing, loving this build guys!

[@BoostBrothersGarage]

Thanks dude!
