OK, so I have had a few people ask about doing a group buy on 914-6 oil tanks. I have made some calls and done some figuring and here is what i have come up with.
Number 1: Need 10 of these sold Patrick Motorsports Tank $635 Patrick Motorsports Filter Console $125.00 Patrick Motorsports Filler Neck w/ Dipstick $150.00 The Filter console and filler neck are not required for the buy in. I will be discounting them on my own so that you guys will be getting a better deal. Number 2: Need 5 of these sold Vellios Oil Tank (with filter console) $450.00 Number 3: Need 10 of these sold GPR Custom 3 piece Cohline 914-6 Oil Line set $250.00 ($275 less than ten sets) Please no BASHING of any of these parts. Discussion and facts are great but I do not want to get into any mudslinging about any of this. Is there anything else you guys need? As with all sales, this is plus shipping and Sales Tax if in Ca. Let me know if you have any questions and post here if you are in so I can keep track (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

What's the difference between NPT and AN and what should I use? For a 81 3.0L SC.

What's the difference between NPT and AN and what should I use? For a 81 3.0L SC. NPT stands for National Pipe Thread and AN is what all the hot rod guys use, Earl's and Russell fitting are common AN fittings. George went to NPT on the tank so that guys could choose the size AN fittings they wanted to run. Some guys might want an AN16 fitting while others might use an AN12 fitting. NPT to AN fitting are easy to get and come in all different sizes. This way George makes just one tank. Porsche uses metric fittings which are different thread size and pitch than AN fittings and there are no NPT to Metric fittings that i can find. I wanted the tanks to be plug and play for a real 914-6 so that is why I am having George make the tanks with the correct metric thread. If you get the Metric tank you will be able to use stock Porsche oil lines (metric) and a stock on engine oil cooler. the real decision, in my opinion, comes down to what you are going to do with the on engine oil cooler. No matter what you are going to do you will need to modify your on engine oil cooler (or get one that is modified) or get a real 914-6 on engine oil cooler or use a block off plate and front mounted oil cooler. If you are going with the front cooler then you will probably want the NPT tank because it will be much easier to make up AN lines to go to the front and back and most front oil coolers and on engien block off plates use AN fittings. If you are sticking with the on engine oil cooler then you need to decide if you are going to modify the cooler with an AN fitting or a metric fitting. Some say it is easier and cheaper to get the AN fitting. Others want to use original parts and go with the Metric. Neither is better than the other in my opinion, I just happen to have the stuff to do the metric lines and can supply an on engine oil cooler with the metric fittings. If you go AN you will have to decide what size is best for you and have someone modify your cooler and make up your lines. Now if that is not confusing enough for you call me at 800-321-5432 and we will figure out what is best for you. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |
