QUOTE(Rand @ Jun 11 2011, 10:11 PM)  Very sweet. Congrats Andyrew, you have rocked it yet again. Take this with a grain of salt: The rockers.... dude, what you going to do wit the rockers? It seems like the flow is interrupted by the fender. Body color? Blacken bottom edge of fender to continue the stripe that's in front and behind that spot? Not picking on it - amazing as is, just thinking out loud. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Still, this is an awesome 914!! Great Job!! |

There is a 914 going FROM the wedding (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
Update on the car, Going in for a dyno tune tomorrow. Im looking for 225whp and 250wtq. (I have to consider that I have 100lbs in wheels and tires in the back) but most importantly im looking for smooth tq curve, smooth power through the powerband, better cruising (it never was that bad..), better cold starts, and better gas mileage. |

Dyno tune is done. Found a couple of problems and fixed them (Mostly I was running without the secondary's... Vacuum pod had a solid gasket instead of an O ring. ). I need to figure a bigger air cleaner system as thats witholding some power, and I also need to go a general tuneup (wires, plugs, ect).
Overall it pushed out 235whp and 295wtq. It made at least 250wtq from 2k-5k rpms. I havent gotten to drive it yet but I am sure looking forward to it! Its supposedly very smooth and sounds really good. |

Still carbed. I have to build a megasquirt or pay 1500 for a computer to go back to FI.

Heres the dyno. Red line is current. Blue line is 2005 dyno. Dont know why they didnt rev it past 5k but thats ok.
Keep in mind blue line is with 16" fuch's and 225 50 tires, red line is with 18" turbo twists with 285 35 tires. I estimate 26% drivetrain loss due to the tires, since Jake Raby estimates 25% typical loss with the 901. This puts me right around 300HP and 375lbs tq. Attached thumbnail(s)

I was at the dyno shop about 4 hours (on my day off). The day started with a BANG. A flash grenade went off about 20 minutes after I arrived about a block away. The cops were crashing someones gang/drug party at 8:30 in the morning. Another one a few minutes later. The dyno tune process is always interesting. If anyone is looking for this, Oakdale is a great shop with many skills. Besides that, it's a toy shop. I took a few pictures while I was there.
http://s719.photobucket.com/albums/ww198/d...o%20Day%202011/ Andrews car drives much better. It's amazing how quick it was on only the front 2 bb. It still made 220 hp in it's weakened state. I really should have checked the vacuum pod when I rebuilt the carb, but never thought it was a problem since it held vacuum. The tuner guy said it was a great way to keep the power down on my Son's hot rod. Just so I don't forget all the tuner guy told me, here it is.. After correcting the vacuum pod, (he found it because he was putting a lighter spring in it so it would open sooner), He did a few other things. Larger squirter for the accelerator pump to cure a dip in the power when the secondaries opened. Larger secondary main jets, was 75 now 82. Since it was lean under full throttle higher rpm. Adjusted the timing more advanced. (By ear, He really didn't like doing that) Then retarded it when it wouldn't crank over. We need to mark this and get it so we know for sure. He suggested a Van timing mark. I'm thinking there is a vibration from the crank. Maybe a self balancing harmonic balancer with a mark that we can see. (drill a hole in the firewall?) Finally, on the last run he removed the air filter. (I think he forgot to put it back on), But as with many accidents, we discovered that the HP went up 5HP with no other changes. He suggested an aircleaner with the top lid that breathes. Open on the side and top. So maybe with a few tune up parts, air cleaner, Choke kit, an a harmonic balancer the engine may finally be done, for this year. He's going to have to change those seats if he want's his wifey to be to be confortable sitting there in her wedding dress. I'm pretty sure I posted the picture of my wife and I escaping on our wedding night in HER 914. Always fun hanging out at a hot rod shop. And I think I may have sold my Gear Vendors Underdrive unit.

Those are some great shots. You did a great job on the car, can't wait to see it in person.
BTW, did you ever pull off the transfer paper on your 914World Sticker? The clear sheet isn't part of the sticker. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Attached image(s)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) The 3rd (last picture) was really cool of your faded 914 with the focused near range ground... and by the way the oil drop ties the 914 theme in together...

My dad didnt take the pictures, he went to the dyno.
Ya I thought it was pretty cool about the oil drop. Oddly enough the 914 doesnt drip a single drop of oil! Mark, Ya I removed the sticker shortly after that the day that photo was taken |
