Update time.

Motor is in time and carbs are synced.
Super smooth idle.
There is still a little snapping and popping around 2500-3200 if I slowly raise the rpms.

If I rev it fast it romps up to 6000+ right now. Yowza! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/boldblue.gif)
My remote tach only reads to 6k (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

When it comes off high rpm it sits at 2k for a moment and then settles back to 1k idle. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

I picked up a 9x12 yard canopy so I can work on the install in the next week or so regardless of the weather.
$18 at a garage sale.

Threaded in new studs for the engine mount, also.

I should have my oil tank and lines, throttle linkage and engine tin by the end of this month.

Wife says go for it, *but* only after the house projects are done. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

I must say: 4cyl engines = bla bla yuck yuck whether it is a build 2.0 or a big 4 (even those rabbi engines bla bla, I'm better than all of you with my perfect big 4s that cost more than 911 engines), V8s ehhh they are ok but never have the resale and they don't sound German (ya big deal but it means something to many of us) you also loose the trunk,

Ahh the Porsche 6 cyl... YES! costs money to do but it is well worth the trouble. I go to Porsche shows and hang out with the other 914-6 guys, its like being part of a special group. I can relate to 914 guys with 4cyl engines very well. A 914 with 200hp is a completly different car. So much fun and so worth it.

For a street car I like 3.0 and larger engines, less revs but much more torque, I can use 3rd gear for everything if I wanted. I was so pleased with my 3.0 Weber engine that I pulled it and bought a Euro 3.2 and I'm going to use the Motronic. So its FI time for me. More work but 250hp sounds very nice. Now that I have so much power I am fixing all the other stuff on the car to effectivley drive this car. I am tweaking the suspension heavily, doing Boxster brakes all the way around, seats with bolsters to hold me in one place, regeared transmission, and I am going to build a huge ralley bar for spotlights and such for fast night driving.

Its worth the trouble, hands down. Of course I built my whole car for very little, but then I am a Porsche mechanic and a parts vendor so I come across deals here and there. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rocking nana.gif)

Parts, parts...Whose gots da parts?

Parts, parts...I gots da parts! ( sung to your favorite music )(IMG:style_emoticons/default/rock_band.gif)

I'll post the pics later. I drove like 300 miles and made several stops. Left at 11:00 a.m. yesterday and got back at 1:00 a.m. today (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

Bay area traffic is RUDE.

I now have ALL the main components for the conversion.
Only spent $3400 including the engine thus far...

Let's celebrate (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mueba.gif)

Also, i saw Theo's 914-6 2.2 conversion last night.
Nice, nice, nice!

His side shift rod is unmodified with no interference, as he told me...I saw it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

No mod needed!

Has Patrick moly bar mount and headers.

Trekkor,

if you get the patrick bulkhead mount low enough you don't have to modify the rod...

still its better that you do modify the rod.. straighter the bettter..

I put my patrick mount as low as possible and could get a straight bar in there.. (I did put a 1 degree bend on the rear 6inches of bar, just to smooth up the motion)

Hi Randal!

I hope Santa is okay giving you that Raby 2.7......which way is SHE leaning?

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

I just had to...... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Bill P.

P.S. I think it would be cool if you could do a big type IV. It would be fun to have the small 6 (Trekkor), the big 4 (Randal), and the big 6 (Bill P.) going head to head in Auto-x and Time Trials...

You're a perceptive guy Bill, you must be in sales!

It would be a blast to get a few more folks up there competing for the top 3 or 4 spots in AutoX.

Now time trailing is a totally different game. Although a big Raby in a car that tipped the scales around 1850 would go like stink, especially with 12" slicks.
