I did'nt think that location would cause vaporloc problems. You may get hotter weather than we do. Then again, moving the pumps to the front may be a good idea. I had'nt really considered it, but maybe I should.


It was about 75-80 in CO that day and I was scooting along around 100-120mph to the Steamboat parade on I-40. That was with a stock 2.0. The one in the GT I'm building is going up front. Nearly all the originals had them there.

Hey... we have the same engine! Absolutely P-E-R-F-E-C-T GT motor IMHO. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

I recognize quality. I recognize hard work and dedication.

Make sure you take HIGH quality pics of the progress.

Most casual users of this site dont know that we have several magazine guy's here and several 914 specific book writers on the site daily.

Brad,

All the pictures I have posted were shot in hi-resolution, then tuned-down for the site. Plus I have a ton more that were not posted.

I did not know about magazine guys and the site . . . I guess it would be fun to have something published, but the priority is to get the car done.

Eric,

I have not really had vaporloc problems with the stock pump location, but the temperatures you mention certainly occur here. The incident you mention, was that with the stock location, or one closer to what I'm doing ? I guess the main reason I might try to keep the pumps in the back, for now, is that I'm beginning to smell the oats, and I'm anxious to get the project done. Very good feedback, though, thank you.


Is your engine running ?

as long as you dont have the factory heater boxes blasting hot air at the pumps they will be fine, here is some backup:

BINGO. Same issue in the 4 cyl 914's. Reroute the hot air from the "bell" on the flapper box and the problem goes away.

Mihai, would you have a spare early handbrake lever ?



Sorry Michel, none of those, remember you'll be due for inspection some time soon so you'll need a working one.

Can you give me the part # of the headlight surround you're looking for, I have a white one with light overspray on one side that may be usefull to you.

It is now... I dropped it in the 911 to keep it running while I:

a ) finished the 914 tub and/or (take your pick)
b ) finished the 3.0 MFI motor for the 911

I need to borrow a dizzy while mine's being rebuilt. Anybody got an early S-dizzy they want to loan me? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Thank you.

I posted a question in a separate thread. I'm trying to make sense of some of the wiring on my engine.

http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=57772

Eric, an easy question for you: how do you like the 2.5 engine ?

Cheers.

Target today was to get the engine bolted up to the tub.

Mihai had volunteered his precious help, and he showed up as promised.

Just so that I won't be left out in the cold, Mihai shot a picture of me, fidling with the ignition.

This is what I was doing: getting the ignition pickup for the Electromotive HPV1 to fit. Things are tight ! and the manual gives some pretty tight tolerances that one has to live with.

Once all the last minute stuff was done, we slipped the engine under the car:

And proceeded to bolt it up. We had a bit of trouble bolting the front stock /6 engine mount, but some perseverence paid off. Mihai's help was invaluable.

He took some pictures of my acrobatics.

We also had an issue in the back, where some of the custom self-built transmission oil cooling stuff fouled the tub. I'll have to figure something out in that regard.

More on that later.
