Great video man!!
Love the 944 Turbo still an eye catcher 😎
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it! I was the one that told the new owner about it when it came up for sale and after working on it I sorta regretted not buying it for myself!
The 944T isn't the worst maintenance hog in world history.
Thanks to the E-type Jags and Ferrari 355's........
Nice shirt on Ms. Bradley
Just came across this vid again. Wow man, can't believe it was so long ago that you worked on this car. :)
Man your good making it look easy I love the 1988 944
One of my favorite cars of the 80,s.
I’m a happy owner of a ‘90 s2 Cabriolet. I’ve never driven a 951….I can’t help but wonder: what is the difference? Regardless, these beautiful 944s (and the 924, 928 and - to a lesser degree - the 968) arguably, pulled Porsche’s bacon from the fire of being “a car company that once was”. Anyone who appreciates the marque, should pay at least “some” appreciation for these front engine, water-cooled cars. Besides that, they are just too damned much fun to drive! AND…..I don’t have to take out another mortgage on my home to own one!
Great video, I drove this car before the new owner purchased it and confirm it's fast! Nice touch with Erica, I think she should be included in ALL future video's!-Lol
Awesome! Are you also local to Charlotte? We’re planning a drive this spring. This was a very nice car despite the small flaws. I told the current owner about it but once I got to driving wished that I had bought it but he seems really happy with it. At the moment I plan to use other models in future videos but I’ll probably use her again soon. Thanks!
edredas do you have 944 spares . My son and I are trying to buy a 1986 and although it seems good ya never know when parts are needed.
I own a 1987 944S with 103,000 that’s in mint condition. Love driving it on nice days in Oregon.
Love your video bro love how you explain every step along the way
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it!
You really did an awesome job with that 951 man! Definitely know what you’re doing. Thanks for this great video!
Thanks! The new owner flew in and drove it 1300 miles home when I finished so all that work got put to the test!
Rx7 Savannah and 944 both are legends! Both have the best mass distribution! Just love Japanese and German cars!
MOTOR HAWK car n truck enthusiast the 944 has an inline 4 cylinder
Jacob AbuKhader ,well my friend,actually I recently started my enthusiasm on Porsche and don't know much, before I used to be much into JDMs ,what I meant was that Porsche has it's boxer engine,mistakenly I used the term on the 944 with less knowledge! But it sounds cool right a 944 with a boxer?
MOTOR HAWK car n truck enthusiast you’d be surprised what can fit in that engine bay hahahaha. Someone actually has done that swap I wish I had links. They put a 3.2 boxer six from a G body 911 under the hood!
great job buddy. I just dont get those last 2 minutes
Great work, I like the new parts packaging , crackling noises in the boxes etc....tops...! well done Boss!
Thanks!
I am So Inspired. Thanks for posting this video.
I am here after wrecking my 951 last night. My buddies and I were 4 deep going to a bar downtown and a truck hit me so hard at an intersection that we spun around twice. BtW 1987 944 Turbo is first year with airbags. (:
I am looking for a clean body to swap parts. The insurance company said that any repairs done in the last 12 months will be reimbursed. I painted car, did all brakes, Bigger turbo and top end rebuild, cam seals and timing belts, suspension, bushings, and clutch. I have 11k in receipts for adjuster on a car that may top out in value at 13k without the repair reimbursement. Bahahahaa
The sunroof was in the up position and slung off the car and slid down the road about 500 feet or so.
Ouch, sorry to hear about your accident. Where are you located? There's a guy in Georgia that has some 951 shells if you're nearby! Good luck!
@@edredas Small island outside Savannah, Ga. That would be very helpful. Thank you.
@@ftnppg1272 Okay, so he's about 6 hours away up in Blairsville, GA near the NC border. Not that close but could be worse I guess. He had a few 951 shells the last time I was there so hopefully you'll find what you're looking for!
@@edredas Okay thank you. South Carolina border, but yes I know Blairsville. Should you erase the comment so his email doesnt get spammed? I wrote it down.
Hello Erica. 944 is the next project to daily.
Nice job, miss my 944 Turbo.
Thanks!
Damn you are the man . Retired porsche tech but you know more than me. Can't wait to get my cars together. Especially my 87 white 924s 60k miles always inside
Thanks! I’ve been looking to add a white 924S to my collection as well. Good luck with yours!
Love your passion for these old Porsches, Brent and congrats on the new model girlfriend. She looks like a keeper.lol
Thanks! She was a model that I hired for the shoot, so expect to see other girls in future videos! That said, she was really good so I'll try to use her again some time.
Wow mine was even that color. I miss her. Those rims are still beautiful
Nice work, great cars
Nice car, and model! She would look good driving that turbo!
Awesome car.
Well done!
Thanks! Hows your car coming along? I've been meaning to get back to you but its been so hectic!
She's a true beauty.....car's pretty hot too.
Had one of these many years ago. Drove wonderfully but it was a money pit. If I still had it today I'd probably drop an LT1 in it and call it a day.
Hell of a job man, well done. I'm looking at buying an '86 down here in Australia, so it's good to see what sort of work they might need over time!
Amazing video!
Thanks!
I fast forwarded past the model and straight to the Unibomber.
Too bad we live in different coast, love your work.
Where are you located? I wish I lived on the west coast too! Maybe one day!
@@edredas I live in LA
Awesome! I was just out there this summer. I stayed out in the valley. Love it out there!
@@edredas San Fernando Valley or San Gabriel Valley?
Ah, San Fernando Valley in the Canoga Park area... everyone just called it "the valley" so I didn't realize that there was another.
nicely done :)
Thanks!
She hot! Yeah both of them!
968 and Steyr Puch HAFLINGER (27hp, 4WD)!!!
How did u connected the mirrors?? I have wires hanging out too
Erica , never wear a Ferrari shirt for a Porsche video lol
That’s our company logo 😉
what do you know about the license plates? I just bought a 951 with a similar plate, P-RCH 951, same stickers, etc. Must be an aftermarket item??
It's aftermarket. I think you can order customize them and get them online.
erika for breakfast
Always very detailed videos. Currently on my 88 924S the condenser fan stays on even after ac off and car is off. cooling fan switch new. Plz HELP!!!
Is it running at full speed or half speed? Also does it run at all times? That said, its normal for the fan to run a bit when you shut the engine off for a short or period of time when the engine is warm
Nice work. Did you remove the radiator fan? If so, what's the easiest way to do so? There's parts on top and below the radiator & radiator fan on my '86 951 that are blocking an easy removal, like in a non-turbo.
In this situation I didn't have to remove the fans, or at least I don't think I did. It was about 5 years ago. If you need to remove the fans then there really isn't an easy solution. You'll unfortunately have to remove some hoses and then drop it out the bottom. I hope that helps!
@@edredas Thank you, I was afraid of that. Can I change the cam belt and water pump without removing the fans?
I found out that I need to remove 2 10mm mounting bolts for the oil cooler, let it hang, and the fan should slide out.
Plus unhook the lower radiator hose.
👍👍✨
you should've got photos of her driving it...
And where's the lying-on-the-hood shot?
I see in 26:05 the engine temperature gauge reading up the middle , this is a properly temperature in this car?
Yep. That reading in the video is the proper temperature when driving. Later cars and the turbo use an 83C thermostat. I hope that helps.
EDREDAS, IS THERE A RIGHT WAY TO PUT BACK THE CV AXLE ON A 89 944 TURBO. Thanks a bunch BRo
If it is a new or rebuilt axle then no. You just need to install it and torque the bolts down. However in some cases people might repack the axles with grease. These axles may have wear so they will swap them on to the other side so that they will not continue to wear in the same area. I hope that helps!
Great video, soon to be doing belts and water pump, have an 1985 944 2.5L original condition, very good shape. looking forward to the challenge. Thinking of engine swap to a turbo. any suggestions ?
Hi, a turbo swap is always fun! Its not too bad of a job. Do you have an 1985.1 or 1985.5? If you have the 1985.1 it will require some wiring and fabrication, but its not too hard. Good luck!
2nd :P Those side skirts are a pain. Had a few stubs missing from mine. Plus, I had the same issue with the wires on my mirrors... wanted to choke the person who just tapes them back together. Looks real good and reminds me a a black one sitting in my driveway LOL!
Yeah these skirts were all bent up whic was not fun. That said, you think tape is bad, I was just cleaning out a car today with wire nuts on everything. Biggest mess I've ever seen! Thanks!
Just wondering if you have ever done an LS V8 swap into a 944 yet? If so how difficult was it? Im considering doing it for my next 944 project
Not yet, I've had a few guys ask but no one has followed up with it. That said, I've talked to quite a few guys with LS swaps so I have a pretty good idea of what needs to be done, though. If you want more information on check out the 944hybrids website. If I were doing it for myself I'd probably try to fabricate as much as I could, but for a customers car that probably isn't realistic. However, If you buy all the aftermarket parts its gonna get expensive quick, but it will save a lot of time an headache. I hope that helps!
Do you find that one brand of water pump is superior to others? Thanks for the great video!
Not really, I just use new pumps rather than rebuilt. I've even used cheap Chinese no-name pumps that cost $50 and they're all still going! One of those cheap pumps already has about 50k miles on it. I mostly install the $89 URO pumps from Rock Auto and have them on my personal cars, as well. My pump on my '88 924S is three years old and I've been to Florida several times (1500 round trip) and cross country this summer (8000 miles round trip) in 120+ degree temperatures! Not to mention this car is driven daily and its doing just fine with over 15,000 miles on it and I have no plans to change it any time soon! That said, as I mentioned in my timing belt video... belt tension is key! So which pump you choose is pretty irrelevant since even a $700 Porsche pump will fail under 10 miles if the belt is too tight! I hope that helps!
@@edredas helps a lot! Thank you for the reply!
Where can I buy the belt ?
Timing belt? Its a fairly common part available at most auto parts stored for about $14. Don't forget to replace the balance shaft belt too, which is a little harder to get but cheaper if you buy it online. If you are buying both then it might make sense to buy them from the same place. I usually get these belts from Pelican parts, Autohaus AZ, or FCP Euro... etc. I hope that helps!
@@edredas thanks 👍
Nice videos bro!
My 84 944 automatic roof top is not working... i can hear a click but it doesn’t move.. any ideas why it is stock and how to fix it?
Hi, I have a few early cars here with sunroof issues at the moment. One car had all the wiring mixed up by a previous owner while another has a broken cable tube, due to the cable binding. However, yet another has a burned up motor, so you might could start there since you'd hear the relays clicking in that case, but honestly its hard to say what it could be. In many cases it takes us several hours or more to dig in and diagnose those early roofs, so its pretty much impossible to say what could be the issue without seeing it since we come across so many issues with them. I hope that helps!
Cog gears go on the sun roof
@@edredas thanks bro!
@@pauldavies8638 thanks!
All that for the rear belt cover..wow.. Leave it to VW/Porsche/Audi to make it easy. Ha
Yup, definitely not fun...
Those wires in the beginning (1:10), what do they power? My 89 looks the same way ...
That's the wiring for the radiator cooling fan resistors. I hope that helps!
@@edredas Thanks for the info. I noticed the frayed wires while pulling out my battery ... I am too lazy to consult the wiring diagram, but will replace the wires before summer!
How much more power is the Turbo over the n/a?
I suppose it will depend on which N/A model your interested in. Some N/A models had anywhere from 143 hp for the early 8 valve 2.5L models (156 in Europe) to 208 hp for the later 16 valve 3.0L models. On the other hand turbos in most forms had 217 hp, while the turbo S and 1989+ models had 247 hp. I hope that helps!
Mine is a early 85?
US model? If so, there's about a 75 hp difference between them.
edredas yea it’s Americans model. So that’s not to much in the grand scheme of things.
@@mogulin_da_skies7516 Yup, if you have a Euro model its only a 61 hp difference. The turbo made 217 sae net hp in both US and European forms. Its also worth pointing out that at the time the N/A European models measured HP in DIN BHP which is a gross rating and can't be compared to the US SAE NET rating. It was illegal in the states to sell cars with gross power ratings but completely fine in Europe at the time. Thanks!
nice stuff, can I send u my old 944? 968 conversion?
Thanks! Are you wanting a 968 conversion? We can make that happen! We also do turbo swaps which are cheaper and faster so you get more bang fur your buck!
Don't touch the car please Model
I was honestly pretty scared to touch the paint lol (car person myself) I made sure not to scratch her!
Uh, that's not the most professional way to wash off glass 17:13
You’ve got to be trolling, right? The glass came out of the junk yard and I was just removing loose dirt
@@edredas it looks like you are relieving yourself on the glass 🤣
Marry me
Love the car, I have an 86 but the girl is average at BEST. If you are going to show a chick show a hot one. If not she just blocks the car.
Thank you. Couldn't agree more. He could do so much better :P
what a stupid comment, you wish you could have a girl that looks half as beautiful
@@ericabradley2759 Erica the guys an idiot or half blind.
That was not nice! I believe an apology is in order...
Very cocaine cowboys
Ком на хрящ соска!
Plastic ancillary tap on water pump for Turbo Cooling. On the new pump kit I got I had to drill out the inside passage as it was no open (not open for 944 NA cars)/ soo be sure to check water passage open on that white plastic tap on water pump.
I thought she was riley reid from the thumbnail
I have a soft spot for 944s my dad has one back in the day before I was born , he had 85 non turbo one black on black , now I just love Porsche
Awesome! I've always liked black 944's!
Boy pulling out my windshield from my 86 NA was such a pain in the ass but it went fairly clean. Unfortunately somebody already cut the interior pieces so I went with it.
Good video.which website to order the parts?
I’m looking for an S2 or turbo or 968.
Saludos! Éxito y Bendiciones desde Puerto Rico!
Good stuff m8,
Keep em coming......
Really interesting videos, glad to find and subscribe to your channel. Learning a lot about the 944 from your videos.
Excellent video! i used to have a midnight blue 86 944. She was a beauty!
All good. Fuel injectors come back this week after a rebuild and it should run like new. Got the mass air flow meter back and rebuilt. Nice! I will send you a video when I fire it up.
Excellent job! Thanks for making the video. Curious what the bill came to on this job?
I could have got one just like it same color and all and it needed a new windshield and a hood but the car was nice
Just brilliant ! Brilliant video!
You're missing the bottom engine cover. The bottom engine cover is also an added aerodynamic piece, necessary to add down force at high speed, by creating suction, just like formula one cars do. Most Porsche 944 owners, are not aware of the advantages of their bottom engine cover. I would urge every 944 owner to take a good look at the shape and design, once it has been bolted on. You'll easily see the high pressure/low pressure sides, from front to back. Like a wide V shape. Exactly like most high speed race cars.
How much did the engine refresh parts used in the vid run? Water pump, all the new seals etcetera.
I believe everything was around $500.
edredas awesome thanks!
See, it's stuff like 1:53 that keep telling me not to attempt this again. LOL
Lady, lady, you’re in the way. I’m trying ta check out that hawt 951, c’mon kiddo, unless you can turn a wrench step away from the banged-up paint there....
I build my own cars... but i'll try to keep out of your way next time 😜
Looks like you're getting a little extra boost vs stock; should be around 280-300 hp at that level.
Yep, it has a manual boost controller on it, but didn't look to see exactly how much boost it was running on the other gauge. I'm not sure its the fastest 951 I've been in but it was certainly one of the fastest!
about the oil pump sleeve - i'm planing to do mine, wile doing timing and oil cooler reseal , so what i find, that is the different sizes for the oil pump sleeve -
38x55x7 for early cars and 38x52x7 for the 85' and later cars but I'm confused by the part numbers
i'm looking at them on pelican and there is a different part numbers but all of them will fit(by pelican site)my car , what I doubt, especially after this video
looks like - 944 107 161 02 and 944 107 161 04 is for late models and 944 107 161 01 and 944 107 161 03 is for the early models, but i'm not sure, as i'm new to 944, not even drive one yet
Hi, all those pump sleeves will fit any year 944. I think the one that got stuck on this car was 944-107-161-02 which could mean that the inner diameter is a bit smaller, but shouldn't be an issue on most cars. Perhaps the crankshaft on this car had a burr I couldn't remove which caused it to get stuck, but is something to look out for. That said, the measurements you gave are for the front main seal, and those are different according to the year. As you mentioned the 55mm seal ( 999-113-268-40 ) is for the early cars while the 52mm seal ( 999-113-331-40 ) is for the later cars. I hope that helps!
@@edredas thanks
German licence plates?
I don't think it was a real one. You can order custom ones online that look authentic but say whatever you want on them.
excellent work
Does she have an Onlyfans?
my dad is getting me one, im turning 16 next week, it it good?
They're a lot of fun! Be sure to change the belts if you haven't gotten proof they were done recently, and enjoy! Good luck!
I'm glad I'm not a girl with a boyfriend who has long finger nails. Especially when they are packed with dirt and grease.
Woman like real men
So two questions: do you ever get mad working on a car and why don’t you have a garage to work in?
I rarely get mad since it doesn't really do any good and you can end up messing something up. You just have to know when to walk away and come back to it. Sometimes once you've had a chance to relax it will all fall into place. That said, I do have a small shop but since I have anywhere between 12-14 cars here at anytime I only can fit so much in there so that leaves a lot of cars being worked on outside. I do plan to move to a much larger shop soon but it might be awhile before I can afford one that could possibly fit 10+ cars inside. Thanks!
