Used a pair of large universal vents from Trackspec, got the placement in front of the centre line of the front wheel to try keep them in the low pressure zone...
Great last track day of the season here on Sunday, cool weather and a major snow storm south of us meant a very empty track. Such a fun car, LS2 + 944 = perfection.
There were a few friends there with 80s transaxle Porsche’s there as well to keep me company.
Yes, I had one hot track day after installing the hood vents which was a good test, much more comfortable inside the car. Engine temps now steady at 200F on track, however I made 2 changes that may have contributed. One was the hood vents. The other was tee-ing in a line from the very top corner of my radiator to the steam vet line running from the engine to the top of the expansion tank. Now any trapped air in the block or in the radiator definitely has a way to escape to the expansion tank.
Have you dyno’d the car. Curious what the numbers would be. I know you have the 944turbo transaxle and it seems to be holding up. Do you think the 944S transaxle would hold up to the LS. Last question what was the final approx. cost of your build?

Thanks! Haven’t dyno’d the car, but the engine builder (turn key engine supply) sells this motor as 410hp at the flywheel, so I’d expect something close to that. A 944S transaxle won’t be enough, you really need a 944 Turbo transaxle. I have one rule, never add up the costs
