My 944 Hybrid Project
I picked up a side Project, a 87 944.
The car has some dings, nicks and scratches. The engine is running, but has a few oil leaks, and the water pump is leaking water. Already hammered out a dent behind the rear wheel. The interior is worn beyond cleaning and TLC. Need to find some front seats. The carpet has seen better days. I decided to start on the inside first. So I just went ahead and got rid of the carpet. Cleaned out the interior. I had a set of black carpet floating around, which I used. What a difference it makes. The rear seats look good after I gave them a good scrubbing. While I had the rear side panels out, I checked the speakers and found them dead. I replaced the old Blaupunkt speakers with a set of Polk Audio I still had. To be continued. Cheers Engelbert

Started a bit disassembly
Back on the lift. Exhaust partial removed, Drive shafts removed. Next: The transmission. Transmission is out. That engine was leaking oil for a long time. Engine is coming out. Dropping it from the bottom. There it is out. There was a lot of oil from leaks combined with dirt. ECU harness is out, that will be modified for the Hybrid conversion This car was a mess, especially at the right side. Getting it all cleaned up. To be continued. Cheers Engelbert

How about a Lexus 400h engine - at 260 HP a significant HP upgrade from the original 944...

can the original engine be modified to run with addition of a battery?...or does the entire engine/tranny/battery need to be used from an existing hybrid?
