They changed the orientation with the SC.
You want a stock 914/6 hard line? .... have one in the garage. |

I actually do have one, but I'm concerned about the line diameter, my reason being that the original /6 was a 2.0, whereas mines a 2.9, thus the conversion to braided... Any thoughts? And by the way.... Now that the engine is in, can I finally pop this on? I've had it for about 2-3 years!

Porsche went from 18mm? to 22mm on the oil pump feed line. Thought was that the larger engine might starve for oil at higher RPMS I suppose. Most use the later size or -16 (3/4") for the feed as it is not under pressure only gravity feed and what suction the oil pump creates. I have heard that "real" racers use -22.
Mine is -16. I will be changing to 22mm stock line. They also increased the scavenge line size to 22mm, but the fitting at the block is still the same internal size ... go figure. I run larger diameter block connector into 3.4" flex line. Scavenge line is under pressure. |

Now the fun part..... More engine wiring.
I've installed the relay board (the bottom with a new layer of resin/gelcoat), and I've started on the engine wiring. It's alot of work, but I'm essentially creating a new harness, and I'm committed to using the same wire colors and codes with new heat shrink tubing. I've essentially broken it up into three branches. Starting at the 12-pin connector for the engine wiring, all the wires are bundled into one harness. About 6 inches into the harness, the first 'branch' containing the oil pressure and temperature wires brakes off. The remaining harness contains reverse lights, starter, 2 coil wires, and your idiot light, and stays that way until it reaches the sheet metal hole nearest the starter, and thus exits the starter wire, and reverse lights, we'll call this the second 'branch' The third and final branch contains the 2 coil wires and your 'idiot light' that connects to the sensor that is centered on top of the engine. Once the 'idiot light' exits the final branch, the two coil wires run up the fan shroud, under the carb crossbar, and to the coil.

All thats left now is wiring the CDI box, and I've not checked on how to tackle that, any suggestions are greatly appreciated. I'm assuming they go mainly to the coil and are not connected to the relay board? |

Wiring, wiring, and more wiring.
This weekend, when I wasn't trying to figure out my CDI Box wiring (see my other thread here CDI Box Help! ) I was sitting in the cab sorting through wires. As I think I've said before, I was the dumbass that unplugged all my wires and unwound my loom during the paint and repair phase..... big mistake. I now have to essentially sit here with my wiring harness and diagram and separate each connection into groups (tach, speedo, 12 pin connector) as well as figure how to tie in my /6 ignition switch.... fun, fun fun. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i16.photobucket.com-9478-1313423233.1.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i16.photobucket.com-9478-1313423234.2.jpg) In the meantime (usually at night) I've been trying to wrap my head around my CDI box wiring... It's a mess..

I'm pretty bummed.... So basically, I've been sitting in the cab for 3 days now, while it's on the lift above my Dads /6. I've decided to start from scratch as far as the wiring goes, as I keep finding myself pulling one wire, only to find it's hooked up to a tangled mess.
It's going to mean some back-tracking, as almost everything is completely hooked up and tested, but it's the right way to do it, and presents a good oportunity to run the harness correctly.... It just sucks though... **sigh** As for now, I think the best course of action is to take it from the top, wiring all the gauges first, then to move onto to the switches and work right to left across the dashboard. After each of those is complete and tested, I'll then integrate the /6 stuff like the ignition switch and wiper motor. It's the long way of going about it, but I think in the end I'll have a clean wiring setup with everything run correctly and alot less confusing. Since starting this approach last night, I have the Combo gauge isolated, tagged, and run nicely. Hopefully today I can get the tach and speedo done, and start moving onto to switches.

Being my first 'wiring job' this is certainly trial by fire. Getting organized is half the battle. Since having updated last, everyday at three PM I head to the car and plant myself for 4-5 hours. After 'taking everything from the top' I completely disconnected all the leads leading to the board and divided everything up nice and neat in different runs; Ground wires, wires coming from front, wires coming from back, and wires that have a union that connect to the board but run front-to-back.
In my limited experience, I find it easiest to disconnect all the leads that run either simply connect to the relay board to a switch or gauge, or leads that run between gauges. Save these as well as the 12-pin leads for last and they'll be out of the way, and you don't have to worry about 20-something leads flying around and getting tangled. I've also come to realize that it is easiest to connect all the 'simple' leads. These are the leads that have 1 connection, and either come up the center tunnel of the car, or come from the front trunk. The goal is that once I have everything nicely organized, and positioned and connected, I'll remove the zip ties and either run safety sheathing or wire wrap.

WOW! Very bummed to hear and see...very tough to shoot them and get away with it too... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif) Hopefully no permanent damage was done--I know some of those things can eat away at finishes and leave a reminder of the fukt up antics that you were subject to. Hopefully your dad's car is OK too, I can only imagine the $$ toll on that one... |

Dude, I would personally fuch someone up for doing that. I know all about Karma but I would definitely help Karma and speed up the process if I knew who did that.
Homey don't play that sh*t! Pay back is a mutherfucher! Hope you find out who did it and you hang the little bast*rds up by their ovaries! |

Hope you find out who did it and you hang the little bast*rds up by their ovaries! Thanks guys! Yes, it was Mustard. The 914 got the Mustard treatment, and the Ferrari got the eggs. Unfortunately for my Dad, whoever threw the eggs got OUT of the car, stood infront of his hood, and slammed it down on the hood, cracking the clear coat and messing up the hood. Fortunately, it's the 'old car' and it's getting sold soon. As for the 914, my main concern was the seats, as it has fabric and not vinyl centers. Other than that, it was a bitch to clean out the engine bay.... but whatever. I guess I console myself in the thought that people who do this will never have nice things because they can't respect them... unfortunately, it's the tagline for my generation |

That sucks...i just don't get it. A couple weeks ago i came out to leave for work and my truck was basted in barbeque sauce...and there was a pile of pancake batter on the rear right tire...???!!! I tried to decipher a message in that but i just couldn't.
Hope you get it cleaned up with no permanent effects. Sucks to smell like Weinerschnitzel :/ |
