QUOTE(kg6dxn @ Oct 21 2013, 09:49 PM)  Velly interestink. I presume the 'trunk'is in the middle,or perhaps the fuel tank has been relocated to the vacant engine bay. For lack of a better description a VW-914-T1-4.For those whose inclinations are bug-love.Does it work? Sure.  |

In the interest of keeping this a Porsche
relevant thd. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-aAMr5kySg Conclusion:Porsche solved the vibes.Revs?Many questions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2GpMGPUMyXE Mr Lind apparently had a Swedish Co. do his crank and cam. http://enem.se/ib.asp Anyone here source their parts from Sweden?   >on UAC [ Type 4 Unleashed Location: Aliso Viejo, CA M-Owen wrote: Did you ever get an answer from this site? Yes I did, and was signed up. Two guys built this motor, Julle & Lind, it had even been upgraded to a 4.6 ltr, they had upgraded to 101.6 mm P/C's. The motor is currently in a 914, and had been taken up to 167 mph and it still was pulling, but engine temps were climbing, so he slowed it down. This would be a wild project. ] Indeed,lessee...$/Lb.:Porsche-8 versus Lind-built T4-8 The idea Lind+Julle could run that 8 with a welded crank I think is doubtful. Having attracted worldwide attention,would they repeat the feat for a customer? |

The Question is how did he do it at all.
Likely every 3rd person who saw it under construction had doubts of success or even completion. Point Made. Heavier than air machines Can Fly!!  |

The Evolution of Design. A Flat 8 built today may actually be superior in every way. Definitely Expensive. Well,There is 1 Factory 914-8. (corr:2 actually,thanks Dave) Exclusive Territory. Hmmm...  Another part for your 908 powered 914. |

There are two of them, the silver one that was built for the Dr. for his birthday, and the orange one built for Piech.
There were rumors of a third one that was built after-hours a number of years later, but those are unconfirmed.... --DD |

I recalled an animation from a few yrs ago.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wh7J8DSDZAg edit:this animation shows the crank in an interspersed configuration. a 4cyl crank in the middle,another split and joined at each end,hence the harmonics. The successful 908 crank is 2 4cyl cranks joined at 90* angle. http://www.jabiru.net.au/  Engine Features 4 Stroke 3300cc (200 cubic inches) 6 Cylinder Horizontally Opposed 1 Central Camshaft Fully Machined Aluminium Alloy Crankcase Over Head Valves (OHV) - Push Rod Operated Ram Air Cooled Wet Sump Lubrication - 4 litre capacity Direct Propeller Drive Dual Transistorised Magneto Ignition Integrated AC Generator Electric Starter Mechanical Fuel Pump Naturally Aspirated - 1 Pressure Compensating Carburetor This is the 5L -8 It is,at this date out of production.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jabiru_5100 https://www.google.ca/webhp?sourceid=chrome...8#q=jabiru+5100 The 8 sounds real good For those who aren't moneyshy,not cheap. High quality,aero-style. see more: http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=250515 animation of types: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hvpFcSPtDV0 nice work. |

Aircraft engines are not good candidates for car engines. They do not rev the same and the cams are meant to get power in a narrow band. Same is true for a converted corvair engine.

The aircraft billet engine is for aircraft,that said,the idea that the average m/c shop equipped with modern tools can crank out specials is valid. I'm still hankering for the 4valve heads that Martin Bott developed for T4's The Jabiru from Oz isn't the only fully cnc'd engine type. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QsmiIeAkE-o F1?Prostock?Prototype / http://rennlist.com/forums/911-forum/93509...ne-cases-2.html / |

UhHuh.
So it's true then,a leopard can't change it's spots. But a V8 into a 914 or Fiero can enhance your power trip. An entire aftermarket exists for your personal magic carpet. Some parts not included. Some assembly required. The lowly Fieros and 914s made new and improved. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UtkP5gTX6Hc |
