OK. Car runs perfect again.
2nd rule in Troubleshooting: Make sure your not chasing 2 different problems. I had a blown fuse, then I had a no boost problem. I first started to look at this as a related problem. ECU got the blame. Turns out to be an electrical and mechanical fix. (See last post) Now on to the next project... Who can guess what these parts will become?  |

Today's project was corny and trivial. I bought these "Porsche Lasers" and installed one on my rear bumper. They came from Bangood.com (China) and cost $12.50 for a pair. The kit comes with a hole saw "HSS" that worked good enough for my FG bumper. It is actually an LED with a lens that is printed with the Porsche Logo. Like a slide but. It looks better than I thought it would. I have it pointed down and will light up with the headlights. The ribbed barrel unscrews to reveal a small flange on the end of the lamp.
The kit is intended to be installed in the doors and go on with the dome light. If you want a pair go here... http://www.banggood.com/2-X-Laser-Logo-LED...e-p-908117.html The whole install was worth it since I discovered the fiberglass bonding to the mounting tabs needs some attention.      |

I finally got my "non plunging" 930 CV's. These operate up to 40°. The cage and star are chrome moly. Notice the bearing track is symmetrical, equal distance and 90° to the face. These require 3" of splines to let the axle slide in the CV.
My plunging CV's click due to the angle. As the axle spins, there has been a harmonic vibration of the axle. This is mostly noticed at low rpm (axle speed). On the freeway there is no vibration. These CV's eliminate the harmonic and clicking. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Install tomorrow! Non Plunging  Plunging CV  |

Well it's going under the knife again. When I originally installed the Audi motor, I mounted it as low as as far forward as possible. This became my Nemesis. I have been fighting axle angle for too long. Every time you fix something, you find the next weakest link. I now have axles and CV's that are stronger than almost any force my car can give. But the angle is steep, 15-20°, maybe more under compression.
The next weak link... The Boxster tranny (5 & 6 speed) use a circlip to keep the stub in the tranny. The axle angle is now causing it to "walk" out of the tranny after 500 miles or so. It pops right out of the diff and spills fluid on the ground. I just took some measurements of the car and have determined I need to move & rotate the engine/tranny combo. It will move 2" to the rear and the end of the tranny will be lifted 2". This will put the axle in a better but not perfect position. The 6 speed is much longer than the 5. If I move it back any further, the exhaust will hang out too far. This pic shows the present position (red) and the future position (green). I only need to rebuild the motor mounts and reuse the cradle. Then I have to move 100 other things connected to the motor, inter cooler, turbo, exhaust, MAF, fuel lines, methanol tank, trunk floor, and everything else that pops up. Good news: I'm not swapping the motor out. It runs great, needs nothing except to flash out my ABS brake alarm. Now I have a summer project...  |

Here are pics of the axle angles from the rear. Taken with my iPhone resting on level ground. The left side is worse due to the offset diff in the tranny. This does not show front to rear angle, only up/down. The angle on the left side was creating a walking motion of the CV toward center, thus pulling the stub flange out. The CV's are rated to work up to 40°.

Could you integrate the ABS from the passat? It would require redoing the brake lines and adding sensors, but doable right??
Just another awesome thought (914 with ABS would be awesome...) On topic, that is an insane amount of angle. Really surprising you dont have more issues with it. |

Just another awesome thought (914 with ABS would be awesome...) On topic, that is an insane amount of angle. Really surprising you dont have more issues with it. There is a Bosch racing unit that could be incorporated. I think the factory unit may be dangerous since its designed around a 3500 lb car with tiny brakes. The angle is no worse than a sand rail. I now have crazy strong and flexible CV's. It's just pulling out the stub. Super easy to fix but a PITA. I don't want to drive around with a floor jack and a 2x4. So I have to fix it the hard way.

Dude your making it way harder than it needs to be. Darn engineers. Just paint the drivers side red like the passenger side. That's what is throwing everything off. Pitiful when someone ignorant like me puts you in your place huh

Maybe the axles are different lengths, and he painted the Right side Red, so's he knows which one goes where (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Nice build! My own first project car was a Mk1 Scirocco with a 1.8t (180hp) swap. Would love to turbo my 914 but I want to keep the original engine and at the moment it just seems easier to build a 2.4 liter instead of going the boostroute.
