Signal Single Orange 74 EG33 Swap, Gone but not forgotten Options

[914forme]

Okay this is the car in all its glory ugly as heck, but hey its an auto-x car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/new_shocked.gif) This one is from my first season of auto-x with this car.



Heres what it looks like today. Made it even uglier (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif)



Here is the goal, I can sketch ideas, but I can not draw at the level of others on this forum. Thank you 914 Visulizer. and my black pen. Now if I could find a good front view. And the flares are not on the car since I'm not using GT Flares.



But you get the general idea.

Old man winter did not keep me out of the shop yesterday, today he decided to pile on some snow to slow me down. Dug out 6" so far today, still more to come.

So yesterdays progress. project ADD kicks in, and I start looking at the sandblaster I have in the back of the shop. Well modified a bunch of items, and upgraded a bunch of crap. Project not done yet, still need to build a stand. I hate buying cheap tools never worth the effort to get them correct.

Sometimes I have the feeling that cheap swaps are the same way. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Case in point, alternator amount. I changed my plan a little when I got an idea, very bad thing ideas are.

This was taken before I finessed the mount for the alternator and cleaned it up. so it has a little tilt to it. That has been fixed (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif)



Since I am building a spacer between the lower section of the intake and the upper, why not extended it out, catch this bolt, and support it from this side. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

So I finished up the bracket, triangulated it down the the left side bolt, and the rear and well it fits like it was supposed to. Welded it all up, cleaned up the welds, and now it is done until I prep it for finishing.



Closer shots, that is the stock SVX belt.



Like Fuji Engineers plan for that lug to be there.



And cross over pipe clearance, I think that will work.



So there you have it the last detail that will keep me from using the stock intake flipped forward so I don't have to cut up even more of the rear trunk.

But then bad ideas came into my head again, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) and I dug some TBs out I had been saving for a project.

They came from one of these.....



And this is what they look like on another H6



My plan is to get the car running with he stock intake, and mess around with these as I like the look, retro, yet modern.

And well these things are cheap, I have less than an uncle ben in 6 TBs. Each TB is 44mm at the throttle plate, and 50mm overall per each runner.

But there is a lot of fab work to b done, and well, it is a back burner project.

Project ADD get my focus back on, and keep moving forward.

I did try a mockup unit from Vintage Air, even their smallest unit, does not fit a 914 with out some modifications. Either to the unit, or the 914, I am thinking the 914! If I drop the shelf down a little this might just work!!!! Need to mark it up, and see whet might be required to be moved.



Some cutting I think it would work, but I also think other manufactures might have a better fitting system. Or I move the blower off the the side on the vintage air unit. I like there unit as its all electrical servers. That makes hooking up and breaking the system apart easier.

Then I have another idea, what if I used an under dash unit, and just built a setup around it. Heat, A/C, and then I could route over to defroster.

I know I know Renegade sells a unit, I just never liked the look of the under dash systems.
