Your presently in the "debug" chapter of this conversion which only has 2 emotions. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) or (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Either way, enjoy the Hell out of it.

Fixed the fuse at lunch. Gauges are working again. I have a broken instrument light wire in the speedo. It is broken right at the socket, so I need to scavenge one off a junk harness and splice it in.

The biggest problem is it has a huge tip-in problem. When warm, it will die trying to accelerate from a stop. It even happens with the car idling at 1500 rpm. I now know that the used throttle switches have an intermittent open in the common wire. That will cause it. Hopefully I get the new throttle switch assembly tomorrow. I want to take it to the AX on Sunday.

I also let Aaron@allzim.com (on here as partsguy22) drive it. He is the machinist on this project, and he has a lot of time invested in it. He is a Miata guy, and had never driven a 914. This was a hell of an introduction to them. He says "It needs bigger brakes, and more tire on the back".

After moving the throttle switch wires, I got to drive it home with no check engine light. It drives really nice... pulls smooth and drops to idle with no hunting or surging.

I like DME! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I've driven cars with similar power to weight ratios but Igor is a different kind of fast... it makes heaps of torque down low...really low like 1500rpm and power builds from there to redline which arrives way faster than you think it will

It makes the 245 width tires seem inadequate as do the 4 piston boxster brakes ...as it sits this car is like a clown with a switch blade , amazingly entertaining but will kill you without a second thought.

Eta: this car really is absolutely amazing and I think it will only get better as development continues

Down to one tire manufacturer producing 255/50/16's (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

May have to run race rubber to get tires next time.

Rick,

That's what you are running for rear tires? I may have to look into them. I assume they fit under the factory GT flares?

I wonder how hard it would be to fit 911 PCCB brakes???? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Edit: Nevermind... PCCBs are prone to cracking rotors and really expensive to replace.

Maybe Cayenne calipers and rotors???

Does Rick’ alien have glass flares. I seem to remember it that way. If so, I feel they fit a slightly wider tire than steel.

That's not a bad thing , I just meant its all fun and games until it tries to kill you.
Currently its just an extremely fine line between fun and certain agonizing death.

I went by to pick up a new throttle switch assembly, and Aaron told me it was either "a clown with a switchblade" or "a stripper named Tiffany".

I told Betty about it and she came up with a "a stripper named PorSHA. She is a lot of fun, until she isn't."

Clay..don't know if you have checked this Co. out www.vehiclecraft.com (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I almost used their bolt-in Big Brake kit...however went with StopTech . Although StopTechs still required a bit of customizing of their adapters blocks; I am now equipped with larger calipers/ rotors than those of the Vehiclecraft Brembo selections.

Ok.. I am being stupid here... someone PLEASE volunteer to stop me!

I found this online:

Vonnen Technology

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/vonnen.com-1143-1571947381.1.png)

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/vonnen.com-1143-1571947381.2.jpg)

Basically, it is a hybrid conversion for all 911s from 65 up to current. It replaces the flywheel and starter with a motor, generator, and a small battery pack. It adds 150Hp and a 60% increase in torque.

Putting this into my 4.0L car would be beyond insane... it is downright stupid...

And I can't afford the 75K price tag, plus they have to install it.

So why do I grin every time I think about it???

That would put 575HP in a FREAKING 914 CHASSIS! It would go from a clown with a switchblade to a chimp with an AK-47!

Combine it with the supercharger, and it gets into serious supercar HP.


Wait.. you are supposed to be TALKING ME OUT OF THIS!!!
