The iamchappy 914 gt turbo project is underway, I am working on the brake ducts and added some removable thick rubber canards, I am considering and may lower the front opening for the oil cooler cutout about an inch as I am using the stock bumper.
Also here are some pictures of my new Supertech 12 plug dizzy conversion.

Great Ideal and it looks good too. What did you use for the brake scoops/ducts?

Posted by: iamchappy Apr 7 2006, 06:25 PM

Scoops are for a Shelby Mustang there actually side scoops.
I am running the hose ducting up underneth the headlight bucket into that area under it, then out into the trunk then back out the wheel well to the rotors.

The ducts are just tacked into place with a little Kitty Hair, I am even thinking about lowering the opening of the oil cooler cut out by an inch since I will be using the stock bumper.

Now to remove it and finish it up.
Oh, I purchased it from Rennespeed the quality is lacking the underside is pretty wavey but can easily be straightened out.

Someone's running a bit too much camber on the street!!


Cool project, I'll be watching this one.

The inside of the tires were gone in about 5000 miles, a realignment before the new tires go on. Good thing they were cheapo Yokohama ES100's, which are great tires for the money.

Ive done some more work on it and shown here a test fit. I lowered the oil cooler opening about an inch and have the sealed up the brake ducts. soon I will start to duct my way to the rotors and finish off the shaping the filler.

Qarl did you see this?

I can see you now!

Nice job, but when I do mine I'll run the ducts more to the center and use the "torsion bar bump" as the inner side of the ducts...what do you think?

I placed mine in line with the headlight buckets, not only do i feel that it keeps everything in balance but it allows me to duct up into the void area under the headlight bucket.
