Go back to page 22 and take a look an the "hybrid axle" Magic flange -> bus or 944 cv -> bus axle -> 4mm cv spacer -> 914-4 outer cv. Done. 930 cv's use a different spline count and are 108mm in diameter (I think) the bus and 944 are 100mm. It would be pretty simple to make a 100mm to 108 mm adapter plate if you really wanted to use the 930 cv's. If you want I can get a price on making a set for 930cv's - hopefully would take less than a year. Steve |

If you want to get on the list for the first buy just PM me. I will wait until we have 5 pairs sold then order. If I can get more than 5 orders the price will go down. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) No pricing yet, but I can guess they will not be cheap. [/quote] Steve what is the black coating? They really look nice. When will they be available as just a set? I will need to find longer axles to go with them but don't have the length figgured yet. Charliew [/quote I don't kwow what the black coating is, probably a rust inhibitor or that gunmetal bluing stuff. That is a picture that the shop emailed me, I havn't seen the parts myself. Why do you need longer axles? Steve [/quote] I'm going to try to move the motor further forward than the "straight axle position" and also up higher in the body I think. Anyway I'm in for the adapters, maybe we can get 10 or more sets and a little cheaper price. Charliew |

Steve [/quote] I will probably make a removable floor for the front part of the trunk and also I would like to make a rear flipping and swinging down trunk lid to make working on the motor and tranny easier. Theres a really nice v8 black conversion that uses one. I hope he sends me a little info on it to help get me started on the mechanism. Let me know when you need the money for the great adapters.

Charliew [/quote] Like this one? He is in the bay area somewhere. I saw this at Mikes BBQ during the heat wave two summers ago. I remember when I left at 3 P.M. my trucks temp gauge said 114 degrees outside temp and it hit 117 on the way home! Steve Attached image(s)

Steve,
Just wondering if the conversion 'Kit' is still your goal or if the Flanges are the final project? Awesome job on spearheading this project!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) Nate |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) Nate Kit is still the final goal however I would jump on the flanges while you can as I don't have much time to work on the kit at this point in my life. I hope to get it done by summer, but I have a lot on my plate right now. Steve |

hey guys, the white 914 with the body kit in the above picture is my car, i bought it a couple months back as a roller, the prevous owner had a SBC in her but after reading the info on the subaru engine and trans setup this just looks to cool to pass up, im a pretty good mechanic but having some kind of kit with all the bits and pieces already put together would be the ticket, looking forword to further progress, thanks

Here is another TRICK idea that needs to be tinkered with to work in a teener with a subie tranny!
Sequential shifting system for your car It's our pleasure to introduce a revolutionary product - The Sequential Shifting System The Sequential Shifting System (SSS) replaces the standard H system for in-line sequential shifting. Installation is very easy - there is no need for the original body, gearbox or interior intervention. The SSS will enable you to: 1) change gears without lateral movement 2) change gears fast, smooth and accurately 3) view selected gear on the Digital Indicator The SSS is: 1) compatible with a standard synchronised gear box as well as with a non-synchronised racing dog box. 2) available for Mitsubishi, Subaru and Porsche. go check out: KAPS SSS Come on all you Mech Engineers! Put your thinking caps on! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) |

That might be simpler (more simple) mechanically than a cable shift. I wonder how the feel would be with servos doing the shifting for you. I know my controls friend would love to play with something like this.
I was thinking of using a "muscle car" style shifter (the ones that used external rods to the transmission) for the racing version of the cable shift. You would need a 6 speed shifter for the suby trans. One cable would go direct from the shifter to the shift forks for 1-2, 3-4 and 5-R. You would need 3 cables total and no levers/selectors. The only downside is cost as the shifter is about $400. QUOTE(Zaney @ Dec 19 2007, 05:13 PM) Here is another TRICK idea that needs to be tinkered with to work in a teener with a subie tranny!

Been watching this thread. I have a (non internet) friend who has a 914 that he wants to put Subaru Power in. The availability of the Subie CV flanges will definately affect our choice on what tranny to use. Are you at the order stage yet?
Also without consulting me he has purchased a JDM EJ20 TTw/tranny via evilbay. Any ideas on the major challenges of using this powerplant. From what I read its a sequential turbo setup (inline) If he gets the ECU and enough of the harness I imagine its gonna be fun getting wiring diagrams for a JFD version. Since I have a 914-6 and also a Subaru powered (EJ33) Vanagon I am his technical "expert" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) thanks John Daron |

Yes we are at the order point. Please PM me telling me you want a pair.
Steve. When it looks good I will ask for a deposit and order the flanges. QUOTE(racerx9146 @ Dec 20 2007, 08:35 AM) Been watching this thread.

We came home from our vacation today and I found a nice little box with a pair of flanges in it. The parts look great. I will post pictures in the morning.

And the money shot. I have 5 people that have PM'ed me with orders so far. I will be ordering very soon. If you want in on the deal PM me.
Steve Before anyone asks - that is a junkyard Bus cv and I realize it is nasty and the trans is dirty. Attached image(s)
