I tore a 76 2.0 motor down this weekend and the heads had these funky things sticking out of the head next to each intake port. I imagine they are part of the environmental control, but what do you do witht hem and how do you get them out. I have torn many Type IV's down, but have yet to see these. I'm not going back to FI and I'm not usings dual carbs, dare I say the "T" word. What the heck do I do with these funky things?

They are air injection tubes for emissions vehicles. Remove them and put bolts in place of them. That is what I did.

So what are you using..."T" word?

Hope you don't mean "P" word...as in progressive carb (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/icon8.gif)

Turbo! Two years ago I built one and had it running, but I got frustrated with oil plumbing issues and pulled it all off and put on dual webers. Shortly after that I lost the car in a divorce and never got back to the turbo, I now have access to that turbo setup and am thinking about doing it again, I have ideas on how to fix the plumbing problems and also will be re-fabricating the exhaust manifold setup. I don't like something mechanical getting the best of of me so I want to finish it!

I started to screw them out and the tube just started to twist, looks like a job for a torch and some oil!!! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/welder.gif) The art of destruction...Randy likes!!!! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sawzall-smiley.gif)

Doh! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/screwy.gif) turbo...of course.

It's a fine thread 10mm I think. I believe someone said a Caterpillar (backhoes, etc) dealer was one place to get them.

I just mig welded the top of the stock tube/bolt shut...works fine.

Mark,
I sent you an email. I'll PM you if the address is no good. Cut off the big nut looking thing and weld it shut, good idea!

NO...I left the head on! gave them a quick bead blast and welded the hole (in side the hex head) shut.

As for takeing them out, I though for sure that the head was going to twist off...sure looked that way, but all of mine came out. I welded all mine off/out of the head.

Got it...PM sent.

Turbo!

so if you are not using FI and you are not using carburetors, how are you planning to get the fuel in ?

If you re-read my post it says dual carbs, I'll be using single DCOE 45 weber, Garret T-4 pushing 11-12 lbs of boost. I had it running before, but thought I had a bad turbo, but realized it was some issues with oil return to the case after cooling the turbo! I'll get it right this time!

Thanks! I have to rebuild a 2.0 for the job, but that should happen quickly. You V-8 haters should be happy, this car was in line for a V-8 conversion, but money and time are kicking my butt, so it' is power the Porsche way! Hope to drive it this summer!
