My pressure is typical 80 pounds when at freeway speeds, say 2700 RPM/75 MPH, and when idling, at 40 pounds. Mine sits around 20-30 at idle and 70-100 under load. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif) @Steve It's a 0-10 bar dual sender with an adapter to fit in place of the stock 0-5 bar sender. And the gauge is a 911.641.104.29 which is a 0-10 bar/0-140 psi pressure gauge. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/post-179-1560543638_thumb.jpg) |

@ClayPerrine - I checked with Porsche and that adapter, (96410770522) is out of stock everywhere. Any other possible sources? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) I would call these guys. They usually come through for me. Attached thumbnail(s) |

@mepstein - Thanks Mark - Ordered it and it should be here within 2 weeks. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)
It's just a matter of staying on track and knocking off the "to do" list an item at a time. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Steve @Steve - The pressure sender was a direct swap- no issues for fitment. Thanks for that information, glad to have that sorted. Hopefully we will get he oil pressure gauge sorted too. It bugs me that the gauge is almost always pinned at 80 when driving. I want to find the 0-10 bar sender and see if that solves my gauge problem. |

Ehhh....part on backorder and they cancelled it as no ETA available. Guess we will buy a plug and then tap it to accept the sender. I have emailed Palo Alto Speedo to see what they have to say about a solution. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

@SirAndy - Andy, I might have missed it, what pressures do you see at idle, 3K, etc.? Is the 140 gauge getting pinned when driving?

Looks like my path forward may be to swap in a 0-10 bar dual sender to address the pressure gauge and warning light and then send my tach/oil pressure combo gauge to Hartmut at Palo Alto Speedo to swap in a 0-140 PSI gauge to match the sender. That should give me accurate pressure readings. Once the rain starts, I will do that. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

For you guys: Info on Marks Blue Car with the Bob / Mark rebuild finished my PMB Performance Stock body 74 car. The wheels are copies of Deep 6 front and 7rs rear. Copy of Deep 7s with extra 1 in going to the inside. 215-15R rear 1/2” spacer on the 7r wheel. Fender roll provides 1/2” clearance. 205-15r front on 6 wheel with 1/4” spacer. At the time Eric said this was the 1st time they actually installed this set up. Was just theoretical previous. He will use this configuration going forward on non flared builds Mark says no scraping at all. Best Bob B ^ This car looks great, and very interesting on the wheel/tire combo. Curious how those all-season Falkens are for grip on a 914—do they feel "all-season," or like a performance tire? Asking as I run Falken's UHP all-season on a 991, which sounds like a misnomer but shocks everyone who tries it. It's far closer to the UHP summer performance Michelin PS4S than it should be, and is a lot quieter and great in the rain as well. All-seasons have come a long way in recent years, with a set of Michelin A/S3s being awesome on our 500 Abarth, but the last set I tried on my 914 8~ years ago were pretty mediocre...at best. |

I think I am going to try John Bell for this gauge modification. The work I have seen is top notch. Anyone have a contact number for him? If so, please PM it to me. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Thanks Mark. I have seen his work and agree 100%. I called and left him a message as well as sending him an email with a couple pics. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
