Curious, why the battery so far down low and, to me it seems difficult to get at if needed?

I'am curious too about the engine lid you're running. I've seen other members who had those on their cars. Is it for better cooling, and what do you do when it rains??

I would like to do a GT lid too but the PNW does not really suit it except for a strict 'sunny day' car. Budman, Looks awesome!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) Nate |

I like the muffler and the battery location. You are doing great. I really wish you would have started with the suby tranny though. The torque of the hotrodded suby will easily overcome the 901 if you run fat tires. I bet the boxter muffler will sound really good but may make too much back pressure for a turbo application.

That muffler looks great and I bet it'll be nice and quiet.

Lookin' good so far. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
There's a guy here in Anacortes who took an original, unmolested '73 2.0L and had a Subie SVX motor put in it. I don't know how the SVX-6 compares with the Tribeca-6, but I can tell you that with the SVX motor it is one wild ride. He stopped by a few weeks after getting it shoe-horned in and threw me the keys. . . I rolled off in 1st, shifted into second and nailed it. Instantly it was sideways and stayed that way until I shifted into 4th at around 80mph (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) Make sure your life insurance is up to date before testing the capabilities of your new motor (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

I wonder what 250-270 NA hp at the flywheel will put to the wheels on the dyno and how it will feel on the street compared to the turbo. The turbo was......FAST!!!. I'd say about 0-60 4.2 secs. Anyone know exactly what the loss is in our cars on the dyno? |

I know your motor is na but that probably won't be enough after about 6mo, if the tranny is still in it. You know you will want more. I didn't see how you plumbed the exhaust into the ends. Will it take a 90 on each end? I don't like no but everone has his own idea of the best way to get to a goal. A common number on a single 90degree axle loss is about 20%. That doesn't take into the turn around loss the midengine or tail dragger tranny has. Probably if someone here doesn't know a gt 40 type forum will know. google it.

Forget the Turbo...
I say SUPERCHARGE it!!! Insta-Torque!! (I know it is for a 4 cylinder but you could make it work (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) ) You would definitely need a Suby LSD 5 speed then! Looks great! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) Nate |

Working on electronic throttle today. It's amazing how simple it is with the link Extreme ecu. I'll post a video of the pedal and throttle body plate actually moving next weekend. (pedal should be here this weekend or Monday) if anyone is curious go to linkecu.com and type in ez30r in forums and you'll see my posts where Simon just posted me a great diagram of how to hook up the elec trottle.

Outstanding. When you do the video be sure to show ground clearance. I couldn't figure that out, if it would be sufficient if I couldn't section the oil pan, do didn't do that engine. I even bought a performance 911 banana muffler for it. I'm REALLY curious to see what you've got. That should be a dynamite power plant for a 914.

It oil pan is actually level with the renegade engine cradle. VERY nice. No sectioning of oil pan needed at all. Yep i'll post pics. and a video of it running in my driveway and i'll make sure to pan the camera on the side of the car looking underneath as well as from the rear. Now i am pulling out my wire loom and making it look pretty since all my connections are tested. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) Andy Transmission sliding back off bolts......Impossible. The bolt that holds the aluminum bracket to the stock transmission mounts is right behind the ears of the transmission. They are so close to behind the ears you have to tighten them first then bolt the trans up. Attached image(s)
