Just when you think Eric has left the building and is only talking with the 911 crowd....he appears with not one, but two 914 projects....

Nice to see.

You seriously need more shop space! And several more Eric's.


True, true.

We have one of those going on right now too! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)

So much has been done but so little to show! I guess the engine and tranny in place make for a good start. Hood lights and pin retainers on. Roughed in the ride height. Massive rubber fits!!

It looks like we'll still need to adjust the lights a bit but, they are on and wired. The lights themselves are extremely impressive. The wiring inside them was not. Very short with with inexpensive bullet plugs that would pop out at will. We went through and fixed all of that...

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/scontent-a-sjc.xx.fbcdn.net-1110-1398862622.1.jpg)

The engine and tranny are in (as mentioned) and only a bit of harness work to be performed. This is a test fit which allowed us to cinch up the oil hard and soft lines and resolve the intake and other various fitment issues. You can see the purchased 14-pin engine harness connector laying on the top. Only 5 of the pins in this "purchased" harness were correct. Reverse lights were missing and the low oil indicator was going to the hand lever for the heater blower switch! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) We had to go in and add the reverse wires and change (quite) a few things around. In the end... just purchase a few 14-pin ends and do it yourself.

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.net-1110-1398862624.2.jpg)

All of the fuel lines and hoses have been run. Just a little tidying up to do there and it should be good to go.

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/scontent-b-sjc.xx.fbcdn.net-1110-1398862624.3.jpg)

The engine will come back out one more time as we have the front tin being finalized and, we want to get back in the engine compartment to clean up and re-tape the main harness.

I'd have to say, wiring on this car ate up the most hours but, I'm crazy about that stuff. Nothing worse than chasing a short in an unknown harness with crimp on connectors. With the engine and DME install, this will be the last bit of harness to clean up. Everything will be wrapped in a factory cloth tape.

We installed a nice system for the hood pins (and yes, buttheads... we installed a set on my car as well) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/fbcdn-sphotos-c-a.akamaihd.net-1110-1398862624.4.jpg)

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.net-1110-1398862625.5.jpg)

We also set a preliminary ride height with the motor and trans in. Hard to believe but, it looks as though the massive rubber will fit!

Wouldn't it make more sense to install the tab like this, so the cable doesn't scratch the paint?

Very impressive. I have bullet connections in the British cars. Work fine if they are the right ones and done properly. Not a favorite though.

My big question is: why stay with the 14 pin plug at all. Seems like so many of the circuits don't belong together in the first place, but were convenient when the relay board was being used. I was thinking about some of the weatherproof multipin connectors you can find at Jegs etc.. Maybe one for lighting another for starting and running the engine, etc.

Good idea. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I think Mike is softening on the bumpers. He mentioned he'll entertain changing them after his first track "altercation".

Eric,

Would you mind posting a pic with the headlights down? I'm torn between adding the hood lights or not.

My 3 year+ build is finally nearing completion, and I can't decide what to do about the hood lights.

Thanks.

Mike

Eric, do you have any more of the large (20 and 22mm) braided hose pictured in post 65? If so, I may need to get some from you when I order all my suspension stuff in the near future.

Oh, yeah, nice work! I agree on rotating the cable retainer for the hood pins around to save the paint. That 911 looks fantastic!
