My new site is aimed toward TIV conversion engines, but has alot of general TIV knowledge, that you guys might appreciate........Plus I will be offering a DTM that will fit a 914 and seal into the engine bay like a glove!

www.massivetype4.com is up and running!! Right now its running through Tuna's system so its not as fast as it will be.

We also have some type o's to work on and need to eduit the entire site once over and hook up all the links and etc....Also need a better home page..

I have spent a TREMENDOUS amount of time getting the site to be as comprehensive as it is....By Christmas all our conversion parts will also be listed there as well, along with some of our modified internal parts...

We will be transferring some of our info from the aircooledtechnology site to it also, as the aircooledtechnology site will be strictly engine related and all the basic TIV info will be on the new site....

I will be adding more and more to my question and answer sections and hope to cover every hot topic, and some that people do not think about.....

So, now go sit down, relax and spend about 3 hours looking over the new site...I will be adding many more pics soon and will illustrate every step that it takes to build a DTM...all 127 steps!!!

This weekend I'll be at the Southeastern Bugfair with a few Shroud Models and engines....The crew from Bug Me video will also be set up at my corner of the show grounds....Next week we are shooting the conversion Video, so I won't be around much!!

for what I want now... a moderate Hp increase(110-125, as I said is enough, eventhough I may want more later), and greater reliability, I think Jake's kit is the value leader... remember I'm a cheap-ass, and I'm lazy...

it seems like too much work to go watercooled, and I don't know that I would have the heart to cut into my car like that anyway... to get a 200-250hp Scoobie or something would probably be CHEAPEST... but too much work

the -6 conversion would be probably the most expensive... though it does seem much easier now than it did before...if the money/marriage wasn't an issue, this would proably have been my direction all along

tIV is cheaper and easiest... even when buying the best kit money can by(Jake) for these engines... plus if later something happens, I feel like I can work on these engines a little...unlike the 6 I like bolt-in simplicity really.

before the saga of my 914s are over I'll probably do 1 of each... but for my first project... unless I just see the chance to get really lucky some other way, I'm thinking T-IV by jake. but Thanks to everyone on this site... you guys are all a tremenous help, you guys "keep me on the horse" so to speak... and keep me from giving up the project as "bad timing" (what with the marriage coming up in 22 days and all)

my wife didn't make me give up the project(I even volunteered)... she wouldn't hear of it... she loves my teener and knows it's "my baby"... but I don't think if I called her up and said "oh hey, I just paid out 8k for may car..." that she would be very happy with me.... homicide is committed for much less than that in TX...
