Okay guys... Give me some input here..
I am looking into making a completely new DTM system for a 914 application. It will utilize the stock oil cooler in the stock position and will fi with a modified rain tray (that would come with the kit).......... The basic shroud will stay the same and will keep in emphesis even running temps between the left and right bank cylinders and will do so about 25% better than the stock arrangement while looking alot neater and dropping 30-40 pounds of weigh off the engine and adding a ton of simplicity It will come complete with all necessary tinware to seal the ebngine bay, and etc. It will only work with individual runners carbs/fi. I am working on an FI plenum for all my DTMS as we speak and that will be available in 2005. So, who wants one or is even remotely interested? If I don't get 15 dedicated souls I'm not doing the development as its just not worth it to spend dozens of hours making the molds. Cost would be around 700.00 for the complete kit. SPEAK UP!!!!!!! |

The system would have been a direct replacement for ANY type IV engine in a 914.
I have 200HP engines that run 50 degrees cooler than a stock 2.0 with all cylinders within 5% of each other with this system! This is on a drive from Baton Rouge to Orlando Florida at 85+ MPH.. One of my F production 914 guys runs the system and dropped 75 degrees off his head temps all the time and instead of doing valve adjustments after every race, now he does them every 4-5 races and finds them to be much more stable due to less expansion and contraction issues. It amazes me how many people will let the looks of something over rule its fit, function and practicality. If someone saw one of my carbon fiber units in person they would never complin about looks ever again.. |
