QUOTE(zig-n-zag @ Aug 28 2008, 08:24 PM)  It looks to me he's got it somewhat detuned because of the fan belt and the 009 dizzy. He does have a big 4-bolt turbo and delta wastegate so maybe slap on a locked-out magneto and turn up the boost with VP c-16 and he'll see 400. A few years ago I saw a bolt on side draft throttle body using a stand alone system and thought that might be the way to go to modernize the draw through carb delivery. Less cost and less complexity if it could feed the fuel when off or on boost, just what a daily driven 914 needs. I think the Mallory box has a ignition retard...... Mine has a 009...but it's gutted and uses the Megasquirt to control advance and dwell. (IMG:http://www.cbperformance.com/images/turnkey.jpg) |

QUOTE(ottox914 @ Aug 28 2008, 07:48 PM) Love the Panasports. They look great on the car. Had a little leaking problem with them, but turned out to be the type of rim weight used to balance them. Have switched to stick on weights and no more slow leaks. Thanks for the great deal. Here is the car, rims, and turbo parked in display mode in front of the GRM tent at Road America a month ago or so. Man, your car really looks fine. I'm glad the wheels found a good home. No, a great home. One thing though Dave. I guess you haven't heard. You can't turbo a T4. Speaking of sidedrafts and draw-throughs, here's my son's old turbo bug: (IMG:http://i379.photobucket.com/albums/oo234/paulillick/Andrestrubomotor.jpg) He did that when he was about 18 and he didn't let me know. He knew I didn't much like turbos so he did it out of spare parts when I wasn't looking. That exhaust was supposed to be temporary to get the engine running, but it threw out big flames that the kids thought were cool, so he left it on. They were 18, don't forget. It was cool, I guess, until one evening when a policeman pulled up closer behind him to see what the hell this kid had sticking out of his engine and was staring into the engine compartment trying to figure it out just what that was when it farted a fireball. The cop was not amused. Only gave him a fixit ticket, but that was the end of the turbo. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I saw Mike Z claimed it, but I first heard that from Jake. Ironic that both of them now have turbo motors and posted in this thread.... |
