Groot,

I am finally making some progress, Hope to make it to a open track day in a month or so, before the winter sets in. Craig is a great resource, but pricey. Good guy though. I am posting some pics of my car and the shift lever and engine bulkhead mount, engine plate.

Ford Sonic Blue. It was on the Focus SVT and then migrated to other Ford cars recently.

The tube coolers I've seen are water to oil intercoolers. But, if you have a picture or a link post it.


Eric,

I love the shifter, that's great. The car's looking awesome. But, it does look like you have too many cylinders.......

EP 2.0 liter six coming at ya big daddy

If it will make the HP numbers it can be a good car, but the carbs and valve sizes are the limiting factor, as well as the brakes. The spec line should read.

...... 46 mm weber type carbs with 42mm venturis
2.0 liter "s" head with 46mm intake and 42 mm exhaust valves allowed
Alternate front brake caliper Alloy "S" caliper with 3.5 inch bolt hole spacing.

This would enable this car to run near the front. Cure the overheated brakes, cure the underpowered engine. etc....

I thought you might want to see the carbon fiber oil sump enclosure.


Erik

Hey Eric

You got your 6inches of clearence between the top if the windscreen and the top of your dry sump tank? Looks good though. You didn't relocate the rear mounts you just stiffened them up a lot?

What is the rule about shifters/ shift linkage in EP?

I will look for one of the tube type coolers, I have a catalog in front of me that has one in it from setrab. It looks like it goes in line with a brake cooling duck.

I have sent several letters to SCCA requesting more allowances for us. The last one, I asked for 914-6 GT spec (46 webers, twin plug, bigger brakes, hole in front trunk, etc), that would have been great. I get denied every time. I have been doing enough shakedown at Summit Point though that I know that the car could be competitive in it’s current configuration, well at least at Summit Point. The brakes are fine as long as you have adequate cooling. The motor is a little weak, I agree, I figure 190hp is about the most you are going to get out of that configuration. Maybe if there are enough of us out there, we can get them to change the rules.

Is that what six inches looks like, Damn, I've been lying to women my whole life.

The rear suspension pickup points are raised 3 inches, by Chris Foley. he did a really nice job. I also did coil overs in the front, hopefully I can get the thing mostly plumbed this weekend. We'll see. A picture of Limberts flairs, the fronts are'nt very wide, and may be a problem, but we'll see. Wish the quality was better.

If I had to do it again, I would buy sheridans, but the front is too wide for EP/FP?? Kind of between a rock and a hard place. Does anyone Including brad have a pic of the HPH flairs???


Erik

I dont have pic on this computer of our flares.. if I get home before Midnight.. I'll post from home.

You will end up needing larger shifter U-joints. Those are too small. They work well in a small lightweight open wheeled car.. but dont seem to work very well in our tub cars.

Looks good Eric. I spoke with Ron Wicker today. His dad died a few weeks back. I wondered why I hadnt heard from him.

Erik (got the speeling correct this time)

Do you like the OBerg filters ?? I have used them in the past. I thought it was a good idea.. easy to inspect/take apart.

My rule book is a couple of seasons old but the last time I checked the Suspension prep for the 914-6 is Restricted. There is no moving of the suspension mounting points. Are you ready to drop the six and make it a four cylinder car?

I have a hard time believing the Six can make the HP to be competetive at the weight, that is why I choes not to do the six route. I don't have as much latitude with the restricted suspension prep and IT engine prep.

The Oberg is fantastic! It definitely saves your oil cooler. I lunch a motor earlier this year, BTW don’t buy a used race motor, and I had a pile of titanium from the valves sitting on the screen but nothing got through

They lifted the restricted suspension rules and the IT head prep this year. Weight was also lowered

I normally run the Canton Mecca setup with the paper filter. Easy to cut open. I have had problems with the Oberg sealing (but I still like them)
