93 bore x 71 stroke = 1929cc. Maybe that's what Mike meant. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

93 and a 66mm crank make it a 1.8. you need 96's to get to 1911.


Oops, I'm an idiot...oh well, I guess I have a 1.8 motor now after all.

are the pistons dished or flat?

turning this into a 1911 would be an easy upgrade since you have the heads off. the 1.8 heads have the larger opening and you can use the same 96 cans as a 2 ltr, just get the short stoke pistons to fit your rods.

Dished....i'm trying to not spend too much money on this, the new piston and cylinders really start to add to the cost.

July 1st update for Build-Off Challenge.


Took the motor out of storage and started to tear it apart for a camshaft swap, I will also be adding 911 swivel adjusters to the rocker arms.

Still undecided on fuel management right now. Waiting to see if Jake chimes in again on my engine build thread on what direction to go with it, I am open to all known good options.

Engine build thread.

Figured I'd throw some of my engine rebuild pics here.

I will not be installing head gaskets like the previous builder did.

Last few pictures show the damages head gaskets, looks like uneven clamping or something odd with how they are only squished or deformed on the exhaust side (more heat?)

Which MS setup are you using? Why are you trashing the old one? gimme gimme! I plan on setting up whatever 914 I get (broken record) on megasquirt as well and want to start collecting parts for it.

V3 board with MegaSquirt-II daughter board controller.

The harness is sorta hacked together..I'm friends with the previous owner, he planned on building a new "proper" one, but got tired of spending time and money on the car once the motor popped.

FI , L-jet for now if it will work with motor combo.

Megasquirt would be perfect for a turbo motor (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I still have your old Megasquirt board you gave me many years ago somewhere (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I failed miserably for the 1st Build-Off Challenge (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Anyway, back to some small progress. Recently received my new lifters, chromoly push rods and all the assembly lube and seal material sold by The Type IV store, I think I should replace my springs so I will bump my engine build thread for that question.


I made a plate to bolt my heads to so that I can mill out the broken exhaust studs.

The stud circled in red is just for a quick reference, I'll make sure the stud holes are aligned near perfect before milling and tapping.

I finally have a 914 at my own house after almost a 10 year absence.

For the last year and half my latest one was stored across the street, finally pushed it home and I didn't even get a chance to "drive" it.....my lovely wife Sherryl had the honors of steering it.

I had a green Porsche script on it that I added to it a year ago, nobody in the family really cared for it the more we looked at it. I must have had the worlds cheapest paint job, much of the paint under the decal came off...oh well it needs new paint badly.
