Great looking conversion nice and clean. Just curious, why did you decide to change from the turbo rotary to the v8?

Lack of experience with 13b motor rebuilds I guess. I just wanted to do something fresh. I just seriously hope that the v8 will be just as fast, seriously. I still have my 85 rx7 sleeper with a turbo 6port which I drive to work every now and then. It's really fast, but drinks gas really fast, too.

I really would like to see more pics of your car. I remember you mentioning that you also have a 911 13b project like my brother's.

Tom,

Ditto on the flange adaptors ..... I already have 911 axles and need a set of adaptors also.

Perhaps we can get a volume discount if they need to be fabricated.???

I also know of a few other 914 guys who need these adaptors. =-)))

One thought I had was contacting that great guy who does wheel adators. Been doing themn a long time.

Mike Mueller knows who I'm talking about... Mike?

Hi Tom,,
Glad to see you're getting some progress going on your 914! I would like to be in on a set of CV adaptors if a production run starts up. It seems to me that when a rotary 914 dies, it gets re-born as a V8. Hmm (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif)

My rotary 914 got sidetracked by a decently clean '74 914 that I picked up to satisfy my 914 driving addiction, this one will probably stay air cooled. (I hope)

Good luck with your project and keep us posted with pics!

Only place I know that sells the flanges is Renegade @ a 160 a pair! Should we try to get a volume discount from them? Scott's a pretty cool guy maybe he'll hook us up. Alright, let's get a count of how many we need.

I have a pair that we can use as samples if Roger's guy can make them. I think it would be quite easy to make with the right machinary.

how different are 911 CV's? I'll take some dimensions this weekend so that we can compare them to the bus units...

Have time do do some mill runs? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)





914cv's have the same bolt pattern as bus cv's...

bus cv's are just shorter and thus these "adapters", or really spacers, are needed.

whats the point of using CV's the same size as 914 ones?

911 ones are bigger OD and have 6 bolts...

930 ones are even bigger.....

otherwise, is it not a lateral move to same size CV's????

I agree with Aaron, you might as well go 930. The sand rail supplier said they are cheaper and more available. They also have flanges for them.

Why don't you just use 911 input flanges on the tranny?

Last I asked Scott, he would not sell the adapters alone. You need to buy his axles...

930 CV's are huge.....

use them and make adapters....
since they are so readily available and used throughiout the offroad industry.... why not use them....

do that or the 951 axle route....
914 coarse flanges / 951 Cv / 951 axle / 951 CV / 951 Stub / Early 911 hub (pre 74)

DONE

i'm confused (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif)

so will the 930 cv's fit on regular 911 axles? , will the 930 cv's fit on bus axles? is there a difference??

I'd personally love to go with whatever is easyest...

I bought bus axles with the knowlege that Renegade would be nice enough to sell adapters separately... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif)



I took some time and looked at the bolt pattern.

THen took some measurements. I was wrong when I said they where the same size.

914 is 3.2ish inch

bus is 3.5ish inch...

The bus axles have much bigger balls and such.


And they are readily avalible.

not like there gona break though.
