I have been gone for a few years. Transferred back and forth, ATL-OKC-ATL.
4 years in OKC, then a year on the road and then a year off working on fixing up the old homestead ,selling and then buying all over again. Covid shut us in and somewhere along the line I gathered up my car, put back in my garage and stared at it for awhile. Then brillance struck!!!! ?????? %^^&&$%^$^%^&% Pull out the Suby turbo and start over!! Of course... Brillant. Exorcised the ghosts, fresh plan, new parts, Blank slate. Found a 4.8l truck motor cheap and rebuilt and customized for 914. Found a boxster 6 speed and adapter set up here. ValcoOscar, Thank you. BigKat filled in the blanks with 930 axles.. We have the tech, we can reebuild!!!! greg d914 |

And...
No one has mentioned that the baby 3.27" stroke crankshaft IS the ticket to higher RPM. Its only problem is its lack of low-end torque! It can STILL make north of 300lbs./ft above 2500 RPM. It just can't make 500+ like many Gen 3 and up do. So, it's best used in a light car with high RPM gearing... I wonder where we can find such a car? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ninja.gif) I don't think the stock crank could take it but if I was building a short stroke (modern) GM V8 I'd be hunting an 8500 redline. Stock crank would be 7500... Car looks KILLER. Got a bit of "Mad Max" going on there! |
