Hello! I am looking to build a type IV race motor - 1.7 liters, in order to comply with vintage racing limitations. Application would be for road racing i na 914.
Can anyone point me towards some leads of people I could talk to? Location isn't important, just the most power possible (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Thanks much! |

Great to see another vintage racer that follows the rules!!!
CVAR? I’m betting A lot of integrity in that club! AJRS in Colorado has been building race type 4 engines for ?30 years. Actually. Longer. I’ve been a customer for 30 Raby of course also |

As for Raby, it seems he is indeed out of competitive motor building... Here's what he wrote in regards to my contact. QUOTE I stopped working with race applications about 10 years ago. Between the [stupid] rule books, and the intensity of the builds there was no upside for me. We raced a 914 in SCCA F Production for years and I learned to hate rule books, and rule committees. The only racing I deal with today is Land Speed Racing, where there's only rules on fuel, and engine size. The rest of it allows extreme creativity without rule constraints. With rules and constraints building a race engine meant that I couldn't even make it as good as one of my street engines without breaking the rules. There's no fun in that for me, and considering that there's zero potential for profit when building a race engine, the only thing that drove me when building race engines was the fun of it |
