Go Big or Go Home: Clay's 914-6, MS3Pro Wiring in Progress Options

[ClayPerrine]

It begins:




Just arrived from Hawaii...







3.6L 964 motor. Destined to become a 4.0L with 993 RS cams. I am keeping the FI so it is a bit more drivable than the MFI motor I have now.

I actually started this years ago. I bought a 3.6, but it turned out to be unusable. But I had already bought the LN engineering pistons, cylinders, rods and stud kit to make it a 4.0. So now I get to use all that stuff!.

Well... this hasn't been updated for a while. If you are wondering where I have been, lots of extra time at work and 3 different minor surgeries, a case of pink eye, and lately prepping Betty's car for the trip to Okteenerfest have been taking my time.

But here's my latest update.

Boxster Transmission adapter is coming along. Here are pictures of the 3-D printed parts.


This is the first pass at the relief for the DME sensor.


It's too tight in some places, and too much taken away in others.


Adjustments to take to the place doing the printing.


Here is the whole thing mounted to the transmission.


The starter adapter. Transmission has not been relieved completely for the starter.
I am using the gear drive 914 starter, and mounting the ring gear on the front of the pressure plate. A standard starter won't clear the backup light switch on the transmission.


Inside looking at the starter mount.



I don't have a picture of the whole thing mounted to the engine. I have to take it off the stand to do that.

I will be bringing the pieces to Okteenerfest so you can see it in person.

Also, here is the cable shifter.

Built from a Toyota Celica shifter (I don't remember who, but someone on here used one and I just borrowed the idea).

















I wanted to keep the hand throttle, and not go cutting up the floorboard. I also wanted it to appear somewhat stock, so I welded on a 901 shift arm to the top of the Celica shifter. I used a tail shifter base, and fitted the Celica shift box to the top. I cut a slot for the arm, and after a little rebending of the left-right shift arm, it all fits in the car without cutting anything.

I still have to make the mount for the cables.


I am bring it to Okteenerfest too if anyone wants to see it.


As for the adapter.. I am willing to have multiple sets made if anyone wants to go to a boxster 6 speed in their car. But it would have to be a group buy. And I have not made the mounts to hook the transmission to the 914 chassis at the rear.

Stay tuned folks... Things are now back to moving along nicely.
