Hi All,
Had a surprise when I went to pickup some of my 914 powder coated parts at Exotic Coatings in Romulus, MI. Exotic Coatings is owned by Joe Williams who's dad is my long time childhood friend. My good friend Fred started the business & turned it over to the son, but Fred is still in charge. They give me good prices & quality work because of our long time friendship. It's great to have friends in high places. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) Anyway, I didn't know they built this beautiful (4) passanger street buggy with a Turbo fired Type-1 motor. Because they own a powder coating shop you can see why it's a beauty. The motor was built by Pete, a local personal buddy of Fred (free) for some (free) powder coating on his street buggy. Joe told me they ran it at the Woodward Cruise at 10-lbs boast putting out about 350-hp. He said it will put out close to 400-hp with a boast of 13-14-lbs. My question, is this true hp or were they BSing me?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) I'll get a ride in it sometime soon. Here's some photo's to drool over. It's a Type-1 motor so I'll only post a few pics. unless you want more. Speak up please. Tom Attached thumbnail(s)

The TI engine has some design benefits that makes it much more friendly to boost with less effort. Slowly we have addressed the TIV deficiencies and finally have combinations worked out that are effective.
I am currently designing a 2.4L intercooled, twin plug, FI engine for my Company Bus. (for towing) I have two big turbo power plants to dyno in the next month, both should make north of 300 ponies, but neither are going into a 914 (one into a split window bus and the other into a rock crawler buggy) Both are FI and one is twin plugged.
