Turbo mufflers and catalytic converters - what is recommended?
There are so many types I have no idea what to get. I need something with single 3" in and out. Not too crazy loud if possible. The cat just needs to flow well - I'll probably get the same brand as the muffler.
Thoughts/feelings?

Are you going to be using the 944 MC as well?
I'll take a look at those throttle cables, I haven't thought about what to use there.
For the clutch slave cylinder, is the e30 one not suitable? I might run a Nismo one for that too then, assuming it's straight swap too...Last edited by AusScare; 01-07-2015, 02:31 AM.

I Think a stock booster would JUST fit with a top mount manifold which I assume you are using with a turbo that size. Anything bottom mount is super crazy close based on some pictures ive seen of similar swaps. I previously had an m50 swap and was using the 944 booster with stock e30 master for that so I am just leaving it alone.
I am planning on using the stock e30 clutch master cylinder with a 3/4 slave cyl http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dorman-Clutc...cea4ff&vxp=mtr
From what I gather the bigger the bore the better the feel on the e30 the nismo slave would be perfect but its super pricy. stock is 11/16ths nismo is 13/16ths so I am going to give that 10 dollar 3/4 unit a shot first.
In terms of downpipe stuff I am using an AKG aluminum steering coupler to keep the rubber one from melting out and also because I have a manual steering setup. Since we have airbag cars we have more clearance than the early guys so I think all the stock stuff can be retained. There is about an 1/8th inch of clearance between the steering shaft and the frame rail/fuel lines with a 3 inch tube. I will probably go with 2.5 inch just to be safe, you might have to get creative to fit a 3" dp and not melt the fuel lines.
this is the clearance im working with, that one fuel line is just dangling loose for the time being.
p.s. the bracket for the clutch master hard line is going to have to get removed from the chassis. no need for it anyway since im just using a 30 inch braided line for the clutch stuff.

Also I don't think I have any airbags? Mine is '90 build.

New radiator fan came in the mail. It's a Davies Craig 16" Thermatic 12v, rated at 2120 CFM.

Boost gauge is on the way, and I'm still working out what fittings I need for the oil pressure and water temp gauges.Last edited by AusScare; 08-22-2022, 04:57 AM.

Picked up a Turbosmart Race Port 52mm blow off valve for a great price:
