914World.com _ 914World Garage _ MassIVe guinea pig needed
Posted by: Jake Raby Dec 19 2005, 02:34 PM
If you are faint of heart or afraid of breaking parts, close the post- no need reading it...
I need someone for some real world testing... The right person will have a car already on the road with a 100% stock engine installed into it and in decent mechanical condition, a 2.0 engine would be the best.
I have been working on the Turbo kit and we are almost ready to release one for testing in the real world on a stock sized engine. The engine in my teener is a 2081cc and was specifically built for Turbo use, so a comparison from it is not likely to do the majority of guys out there much good.
Having someone to remove their engine, strip it down to the longblock and install my 914 DTM along with the Turbo arrangement with intercooler and the programmable EFI will give me a better idea of how much more refinement the arrangement may need before production/retail sales.
If you are the kind of guy thats wiling to push the envelope and at the same time critique my arrangement for me we need to talk.
I just need one person- the first guy that comes to me with an open mind, willingness to improvise, afdapt and overcome and 3K in his pocket gets the components for a beast thats taken up a whole lot of my time and effort! This is an engineered assembly that is 100% bolt on from the cooling system to the premapped EFI to the pre adjusted waste gate..
HP estimate for 1.7-1.8 engines is about 175
for 2.0 engines the traits arealready showing up that 200 ponies are a reality.
If you have any questions EMAIL ME at productdevelopment@aircooledtechnology.com DO NOT PM ME ( I hate PMs!)

Man
I wish I could but I'm having too much fun with my 2270. First gear is just too short.
Old smokie is sitting on the woodshed floor. It's a strong runner bot the heads need work. Also, the wife would kill me.
Geoff should do it

I got a 2.7 six you can tinker with... 
Posted by: Jake Raby Dec 19 2005, 02:56 PM
Sixes have too many cylinders.....
Anyway-
Dave would be a GREAT person to do this one for me- he is meticulous enough to find every fitting gripe and patient enough to rebuild his engine 3 times and never bitch about it once!
Do it man...
Posted by: DNHunt Dec 19 2005, 03:01 PM
Can't man. If I did I'd be moving my cot into the garage for sure. It's just the wrong time for me.
Seriosly, check with Geoff. He's certainly got the knowledge and experience.

I'd offer the grasshopper 2.0L, but I can't afford the 3-Large...wrong time of year for me too...
Posted by: Bruce Allert Dec 19 2005, 03:24 PM
I'll drive my Miata up to ya & you can have yer way wit it!

Nothing wrong with a cot in the Garage..... 
Posted by: DNHunt Dec 19 2005, 03:30 PM
I know better than that. Hate to say it but, this time you are wrong Jake. A warm bed with my wife beats a cold garage with one of your engines. No offense but you can't compete with that.
Dave

LOL..
as far as the offer of a Miata....
Well bring that baby right on up and I promise I'll give it a tune up like it's never experienced before.... I won't be happy till it's totaled.

Can't call Miata an "M car". That title is reserved for the BMW M1, M3, M5. Sorry, prior art and all that.
I wish I could take Jake up on his offer but I fail the "must be stock" criteria quite misserably.

I wish those around me would take up the offer!!!
lol

Is this one big enough? He can play the piano.
Posted by: bernbomb914 Dec 19 2005, 04:24 PM
we are building a new high rever which would make a good base if you are interested? the heads are done, the case line board, need to get some pistons and cyl from you with a 66mm or 71 mm stroke and the cam of your choice.

pick me!!! pick me!!! really pick me!!!!
Posted by: Al Meredith Dec 19 2005, 06:29 PM
Jake, I'm within days of ordering the parts I need for my 2056 from you. Len has already finished the heads. I will be installing this engine in my 912E # 265 . My Son, Blake would be the ideal guinea pig for testing your Turbo Kit. We could install any size engine in the 912 and let Blake drive it for as long as you want. I'll have Blake email you . He works about 25 miles South of your shop. Al Meredith

So you need a stock 2.0L D-jet motor? Hmm I just met a guy trying to unload a whole frigging mess. engine and trans are in good shape.
I was gathering parts for a new motor anyway.
Putting a turbo 2.0L in the red neck racer would really re-kindle my racing fire.
I know I can do it. You should Know I can do it. You already have my Email address.

Boost rocks!
Posted by: Joe Ricard Dec 20 2005, 07:31 AM
Yea I agree I could talk Turbo this and that with the STS and 240SX Street mod crowd.
Posted by: Bleyseng Dec 20 2005, 08:15 AM
