Great job!

Any news on the cable shifter components? I will probably look into that and a cradle. It will open up more options for me in the future... Speed is addictive!!!

Thanks!

working on it, the design is taking a bit longer as im low on cash and have to work with the custom cable numbers and get them right on paper before i order a set. should have a working prototype in the next couple of weeks.

I am currently bolting in an EJ25 based engine into a '73 Superbeetle and as always the VW will be more my focus than the 914. This EJ25 will end up a 2.9 liter animal with "Snickies" in 104.5mm. With a regeared Quaife equipped 915, 6 piston 996TT brakes and wheels its going to be a beast.

The 914 was the one application that my plan hasn't focused on, so perhaps we can



I really don't know how you plan on doing a 2.9L Suby engine the walls will be super paper thin or even if it's sleeved what about the water jets and the mating of the heads. The same power could be made with a bigger turbo or dual turbo like some of the older JDM models at lot less money.

Crawford biggest kit they do is a 2.7 and thats really pushing the wall thickness and Cosworth is at 2.6....Max I ever heard for the Suby stock block on the EJ257 is 101mm but most people max out at 99 or 99.5mm Both Darton and Crower do a max of 102mm for there sleeved engines so I really don't know how you are going to gain another 2.5mm over anyone else that's been building these engines for ever!

Am i missing something or are you forgetting these are water cooled and have/need the plumbing for it?

Only a newbie would ask jake this stuff. Welcome to the 914 world, It does sonund like you are a nasioc guy though so double welcome. Study jakes plan a little more then you will see what he has. Jake might be the cosworth of T4's. He also is into porsche stuff and that means more expensive powerplants. I am more interested in the head sealing at 30 psi though with only six head studs. The bigger the more low end torque at 2500 rpms.

You also probably know that it will take a well built driveline to support 5-6-650 horsepower, and 500 ftlbs of torque as long as it's only two wheels the tranny can only cost 2500 MAYBE.

i have not had time to put into the cable shift, school and a full conversion project for a customer has been soaking up most of my time. Of course my last term of school cant be nice and easy, averaging 2-3 books read, per week.

Still plugging away at product development and growth though, I have just recently become a dealer at Small Car Performance, so if anyone wants wiring kits/instructions or shortened aluminum oil pans let me know!

Hey guys just an update on the axles: They ARE being made, it has taken longer due to some changes I made to the design but SAW assures me 3 weeks.

Thanks for hanging in there with me, especially Chris(my928s4) cause man you are getting close to being done!!!

Once i get this stocking order in I'm going to stay on top of the inventory level so they will hopefully always be in stock ready to ship.

Quick update, I am now a Speed Hut dealer. They provide a great product that makes it easy to get a useful and cool dash in you 914.

If you go to my924s4 or Sawtooth buid threads, you can see how truly nice they are for our application.

Let me know if you want a set!

Sounds like what I went through in my last quarter. Two English lit classes at once plus a ton of other crap I couldn't register for until I was a graduating senior - I had to quit my job for 3 months because all I did was read old books and write about them - 18+ hour days. Then it ended (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) And I was done!!!!

Axles are finally done. I am really disappointed with SAW on this one. it took waaay to long. I am looking into other vendors to avoid this problem in the future. but thankfully The axles should be on my doorstep tomorrow and i will start shipping them out.

Good to hear. What's the process for getting a box of my very own? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

What's a good website for a primer on Suby motors? I see a 4 cyl 200hp Suby motor in the new Scion FRS. Is this a new motor or ???

I'd love to see a complete build thread from motor on a pallet to installed in a 914. I'd like more muscle in my car but not up to doing one yet.

Wish u great success!

I agree Nasioc is a great resource check it out, if you dig long enough you can pretty much find an answer to anything there.

Otherwise Wiki pages has a pretty good write up of Subaru engines through the years.

Furthermore IF you want some more spacific 914/subaru related information, there are a lot of guys on here with great threads and willing to talk shop.

Finally, i have some good info compiled (that i reeeaallly need to get up on my site!!! dang 24hr a day time limit (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) ) regarding engine/transmission choices etc. a lot of it is posted throught this thread, but feel free to pm me, we can talk.

Don't forget www.rs25.com as well (provided by Ian BTW). More tolerant of newbie questions like the ones I have had lately.

Definitely go through some of the builds in the Wiki...there are several pallet-to-completion builds.

Can't wait to get my axles and stuff Ian! Thanks for your advice on the project.

What I like about world threads is the close association with vw's. I also have some vw's that would be really great candidates for a suby, including a speedster kit and a 64 bug (actually a 58 with a 64 front clip) that has been a pickup since 68.

Commandeered the fiancées apartment for a day to get a bunch of shipping done, after the long wait for the axles I’m almost sold out of the first batch…
