914-6 conversion/ rusturation GT style, EFI is done Options

[mepstein]

Wrapping up driving season soon. Top is on. Enjoying the 993 heat exchangers. Unfortunately at some point the gas tank has to come out as the cables for the heat boxes are messed up. In no hurry on that I know it’s a routing issue and I will eventually get to it. Did I mention how loud the Bosch 044 fuel pump is man it almost obnoxious in volume. Need to put it on the lift and change fuel filter and decide a better rubber isolation for it or an alternative brand/ type with same specs. I learned it draws a ton of power as well. I put on 400 miles this summer so less than I wanted but worked through the tuning of the EFI , changed a band connector out, and enjoyed it. I still may have a month left we will see. Depends on salting of the roads

For a quieter pump, use the Aritex E-8445 or equivalent. It is small and quiet. It works with the 4.0L motor in my car, so it should have enough pressure and volume for yours.

Zims Autotechnic (www.allzim.com) makes a mounting bracket for the fuel pump that bolts on with the rack mount bolts. No cutting required. Call Aaron @partsguy22 , phone number 817-267-4451 and he will hook you up.

Who did the conversion on the 993 heat exchangers? I am looking at the same thing for my car.

Ben does the conversion. I’m in line for a set.

ON conversions: Is the 2.7 Motor conversion the least complicated and most economical ?

in the world of /6 conversions, I am not sure if either "least complicated and most economical" fit into the program. Mine took a couple years and more than a couple piles of $$, but she is mostly done and she rocks. It's a 2.7, went to Ollies and I had a local long time racer build the engine.

Are you considering doing a conversion? Mine would have been MUCH more difficult without all the assistance I received with all the fine folks here.

2.2,2.4 probably the cheapest if you can find a good runner for sale but if it’s a core 2-2.7 all cost the same

@clayperrine that’s a very inexpensive pump that should work well

I think Ben puts away his 914 in the winter. WI isn’t just cold, it’s snowy.

More FUN that way! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/devil.gif)

Just kidding, I wouldn't take that out in crappy weather either!

Not the weather, it is the road salt. On dry cold January days you can see the salt swirling in the wind. Rust.
