Hi All,
For the past 4+ years, I've been doing a restomod on my 1970 914-6. The stock engine has been swapped out for a 3.0 liter 911 SC engine with a cam, Billy Boat SS headers with heat, SS sport muffler, and a modern engine management system from Clewett Engineering. Naturally, I'd like to know how much bhp this beast makes. I was recently informed the car could not be hooked up to a chassis dynomometer. There is supposedly no safe way to anchor the car on the dyno? The car has not been lowered and it's running on factory optional Mahle 5-1/2 X 15 gas burner wheels with Pirelli P6000 195 VR65 X 15 tires. Have you ever heard of this issue? Are you aware of any dyno shops in the midwest that could do a few dyno pulls on my car? Roger Pihlaja |

I showed TJ, the owner, some of your pictures of 914's running on the dyno. He still swears there is no safe way to secure a 914-6 to his dyno. Could one of you send 914-6 specific instructions on how to secure the car? This doesn't pass the smell test. Is there something about the halfshafts &/or the exhaust that would interfere with the tie-down straps? Also, some of you think there are some dyno shops in the Detroit. MI area that could do a 914-6. Do you have a specific shop you recommend? Roger Pihlaja |

I bet they are extra safety/tiedown conscious due to the types of cars the look to work on. Not a terrible way to be; it's certainly not good to be the shop that looses a car (I've seen it before). My guess is that they like to tie cars down by suspension so they are solidly attached to the rollers and do not have any possible suspension bounce in the middle. It's an extremely conservative approach. The Tangerine Racing tie downs Chris put above should satisfy this requirement. I'd ask. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
