I am at this time considering a turbo install on my 3.0 engine, I would be using the guts of a used bae turbo kit for the 911sc. I know that I will have to do a lot of fabricating and loose some useable storage space in the trunk. I have enough support from those who have had the turbo kit installed on there cars for 20 years, and have sorted all the little problems out.
I now have to justify the need for 300hp, when my car runs great as is, but lacks a little heart pounding thrill. I like the idea of turbocharging as it is all external, biggest hp gains without internal modifications, and I have the capabilites of fabricating the plumbling. Plus it can be done for less than a pair of carbs. Someone twist my arm, it's a turbo or it's a new paint job for the car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Chappy |

I will be receiving my bae turbo kit this week and have been putting together parts needed for the install, I will install the an enrichment injector and pressure switch at this time, I'd rather be safe than sorry even if I dont plan on boosting it any higher than 8lbs, knowing me that idea wont last long.
The kit comes complete even has the original instructions. I purchased a msd btm boost retard ignition to replace my msd 6a. I felt the built in rev limiter and the retard control were worth the investment. It will be interesting to see how it will all fit into the 914, what will be useable and what I will have to fabricate. The use of silicone hoses and elbows will make the plumbing easier, I will use pvc plumbing pipe and fittings for the mockup when all seems to fit I will replicate and fabricate in aluminum or steel or with silicone hose and couplings. I am very excited in starting this project wish me luck. The paint job will have to wait. |
