i just wanted to tell you how sorry i am that you got stuck with a 944, i bet you once dreamed of a 911, and saw that 944 and thought “well, its almost like a real porsche”
Looks like it should be 2.0 bar ar idle for the 8v cars and 3.3 bar for the 16v cars. Yours is an 8v, unless someone has swapped the engine…
This is per Clark’s garage which is a respected resource for 944 DIY. Here’s the main site:
and I found this info under the Garage Shop Manual section.
Z, that’s a terrible comment. Obviously, you’ve never driven one. They are fantastic cars. Not a 911, but that’s not always a bad thing. I own one of each and have for years. the 944 is definitely better in some respects.
Lastly, I just noticed after submitting that the first oster also referenced Clarks Garage – a great testament to its validity. However, he pointed to a reference to turbo cars, which yours is not…
The type 944 is a very superior car. I have a 73 911 and while fun and fast, it has no room in it and no heater to speak of. 944′s are, I think, far better to drive every day. Can’t beat the hatchback. I’ve never seen an old 911 freeze up and bust though… A bar(Barometric unit) is around 14 1/2 psi, or roughly one kilogram per square centimeter.( kg/cm2)
It’s 11 psi stock but the maximum is 14-15 psi with an aftermarket chip.
