Well, the car is finally on the road. The motor mount that we fabricated is a nice unit. I looked at all of the others, and I did not find anything that made me feel comfortable to use. Our is a full cradle, we relocated the turbo and intercooler. Fabricated our own exhaust (ceramic coated), re-engineered the factory wiring harness and it truely kicks some major bootie. We ran a 2005 997 carrera and shamed him...bad. He could not believe it. We are finishing up the details on this kit and they will be offering it soon. Be sure to look for us at the German Auto fest. We will be there with bells on! Look for the two 914s that have "Porsche Turbo" above the rockers. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mueba.gif)

i have 2700 in mine. which includes a good used stock clutch, all exhaust and a new stock suby radiator.
i paid 1500 for my complete and i mean everything including the full stock exhaust 60 k mile engine ( that included shipping too ) as for radiators i still think the best way to do the radiator is to use the stock radiator from the car the motor comes from, that way you know flow and size are matched, my new suby radiator cost me 179 dollars. as for engine bay cooling it works on my 2.5 liter na, i just spent 1 hour in stop to 10 mph traffic and my second fan would turn on and off on its own ( ecu controlled ) . but i would never try it with a turbo. also moving the engine forward is something i thought off to get the intake to clear, but it was just as easy to flip the intake. now i know what it takes i could do it in an hour including flipping the alt. i do plan on selling my engine bar design and an instuction manual that i am working on for about 500, it will also include an engine bay radiator frame ( or 50 bucks less with out ) i was thinking about selling a complete kit with wiring harness, engine mount, exhaust, intake parts, for about 1500 to 2 grand and i would even do the alt and intake mod if some one shipped those part to me ( lower end if they dont ). now i would not supply a clutch due to they can be found cheap enough already why have me mark it upand no radiator becuase they can be picked up locally. so figure with my kit lets say the partial 1500 engine 500 engine bar and manual 200 radiator 100 fans 500 kep plate and fly wheel 300 misc total 3100 and about 80 to 120 hours full kit 1500 engine 1500 kit 200 radiator 100 fans 500 kep plate 200 misc 4000 and 40 hours edit this is all for a na motor and no clutch which would add about 300 This post has been edited by scott thacher: Jun 17 2005, 04:21 PM |
