2.2 E with Mechanical Fuel Injection and MSD Ignition.

Just tranfered the engine from my old car to this one, should get it to run today. Need to add oil, the battery and an ignition wire to No. 4 cylinder.

Nope they don't adjust, they're supposed to be screwed in all the way -those look like 200 air correction tubes....the short ones are probably 180

Posted by: ruddyboys Oct 11 2004, 04:15 PM

What advantage would 200 have over 180"s Is this something I should look into? I hate carbs.

Posted by: Aaron Cox Oct 11 2004, 04:22 PM

im sorry to hear that.

my car runs excellent with new carbs outta the box. thought i would have to rejet them, but plugs are perfect. need a little adjustability in advance to run 110% gud!

I've been lurking on and off 914club most of the summer.
I've been playing and coaching ice hockey for 20 years.
My 914's been sitting all that time....I stopped coaching this summer
and got the engine back in and running in August., still lots to do before
it's road ready.

Posted by: Lawrence Oct 11 2004, 06:46 PM

I was about to say that the prettiest engine compartments hold carbed engines. Then I saw the 914RS job. I guess there's an exception to every rule....

Ask an Irishman if he wants another pint.

Ravenna green car is new to me. About a month and half at this point, so I don't have a ton of pictures.

I got the car just before the 2004 East Coast Ramble and broke a CV joint while getting to the event. As a result, there were several pictures of my car taken there.

Did u see the access hole in the Firewall

Posted by: Root_Werks Oct 12 2004, 01:56 PM

What is that for?????

Posted by: J P Stein Oct 12 2004, 02:11 PM

Maybe a new record for quotes.
Ayup, I saw it.
Access is gud.....even better to adjust/replace the fan belt, set timing, yada.

Posted by: joea9146 Oct 12 2004, 02:27 PM

Dan.... On a Six it saves you from having to pull the motor to access the Fan / belt...
I recently had to replace the Alternator and was able to do it without droping the motor. Got access to the belt and shims from the Firewall hole. and pulled the carbs to get at the fan Housing. There is always a big debate if this should be done or not but I say fo a six its the way to go

Posted by: Root_Werks Oct 12 2004, 03:44 PM

Going for record quotes here:

Hmm, I have built 5-6 914-6 conversions, replaced 4 914-6 alternators, never needed the "hole".

What I usually do is make a single cut along the fiberglass shroud. I found a special "H" shaped gasket that will allow you to remove this part of the shroud anytime you like. No more dropping engines, cutting up the car or removing the shroud. Easy stuff. I can see about posting some pics if people would like to see? Just preferance I guess, but I would rather put a cut in the fiberglass shroud than multiple cuts in the steel of the car.

Nice idea though. Oh, I mark my flywheels for timing, adjusting valves etc.....

BTW - very nice engine bay! Mine sucks.

Posted by: michel richard Oct 12 2004, 05:19 PM

Joe A,

Where's your battery, man ?

Michel Richard

p.s. I had the firewall hole in the pale-ivory car, I'm trying to do without it in the Ravenna-green one. I did have to cut a very small access hole to be able to adjust the MFI idle screw, but it's very small. I'd love to learn how to swap fanbelts without the hole. Factory sixes did not have one.

That's a nice option on that engine block. Mine didn't come with that, but it would make checking up on rod bearings very easy.

Posted by: Joe Ricard Oct 12 2004, 08:48 PM

If Euro 928 motors were a dime a dozen and dirt cheap every one would have one. Gotta be lookin for one, Gotta know what you are lookin for. Gotta be ready to jump on it with cash quickly.
AND being a master fabricator helps.

My early U.S. motor only put down 220HP at the crank. Hardly worth the effort.

Posted by: rick 918-S Oct 12 2004, 08:57 PM

Very True Joe, I was lucky and found a rare motor in a yard that specialized in Volvo's. They wanted a ton of money for the thing but cash speaks a language of it's own. I'm looking into later motors but they don't have the spyder. But I think the intake off an early motor will swap with little HP loss. There's more than one way the shoe horn a 914

Posted by: boxstr Oct 12 2004, 11:29 PM

Nothing wrong with good old american iron in the engine bay of the 914.
