I ran across a listing on EBAY Item #224348635275 on a 1974 Porsche 914 with a 1967 911S 2.0L engine installed etc. The 67 911S engine was a sportier 2.0L engine Porsche that put out reportedly 180 hp, with 144 lb torque. Looking at the overall car it looks pretty rough! Looks like someone has put the oil tank in the front compartment and not real sure whats going on in the engine compartment. If someone has the time could they look at this listing and give me your thoughts. I have asked the seller to clearify what’s going on in the engine compartment and some engine numbers, no reply.

Wow. As unlikely as it first seems, this appears to be a twin turbo plumbed into MFI throttle bodies. I think that those two heat sinks stuck on the top of the air filter block off plates are some sort of effort at inter cooling. This is consistent with what appears to be a similar heat sink stuck on the oil drain plate under the engine.
Is that radiator cap plumbed into the intake “manifold” intended to be some sort of blow off valve!?!? Again I say wow! The twists and turns created by the inexplicable human mind are indeed incredible. As wacky as all this is, it took serious effort. It was not just imagined, it was built, with serious intent, however misguided! For someone so inclined, it appears to be worth the ask in parts - and the adventure in unraveling the mysteries. I wonder if it ever ran?. |
