I just bought my first 914. I have had several early 911s and know my way around these cars.
The 914 will get an engine swap. It is being built as a GRM $2010 Challenge car. The car will then function as a DE car and potential DD if I can get the AC to work. There will be more details in another thread. has anyone converted to a hydraulic clutch setup? The swap will not run through a 901 box. Non-Porsche parts going in. Yeah, i will make some purists cry. Don't worry, its a flat four but it is water cooled. The slave cylinder is mounted to the drivetrain. I suppose I could go with a Tilton/Wilwood dual pedal setup. This should be easy to implement yet there are problems. Usually, the MC setup will not fit in the pedal area of a 911/914. The floor pedal sections are not too much different in terms of roominess. just looking for suggestions. |

Tilton. Hey Downunderman, With out a doubt your peddle setup takes the "cool & beautiful" award. Would that I had your budget!! I like the clever install on the slave cylinder: Neat, clean and it obviously works! I only went to a hydraulic clutch because I HAD TO: I had cable all built in, only to find that everything would bend and the clutch would not move! The clutch to handle the 500 HP & torque was too much for the cable approach! What engine & trans are you running? As I have an upside-down 930 tied to the Chevy, I didn't recognized your stuff. Best, Terry |
