it runs! it stops! it is awesome!!!!!!! it has been about 4 months since i have driven brunhilda. i dream about running through the gears (sad, but true) and listening to that beautiful little dual carbed 1.7 liter boxer. words fail me trying to describe the joy, yes the joy, at driving this car again.

ok, after bleeding and flushing 48 oz. of castrol gmlfa (or whatever it is called) i still have a mushy pedal. new pads all around. used speed bleeders for the first time (new). one pump and i get hard pedal, and it stops straight, no pulling. stops good, too. any suggestions on the mush?

Ohhhhhhhh... the mush.

It's probably the P-valve. Have a helper MASH on the brakes while you bleed the rears (especially). You "may" need to bleed the valve but a two-person "standard" job should do the trick. You really have to pump the shi%$ out of them to get that valve to cough up the extra bubblie.

Good luck...

With a completely stock 914 system I don't recommend the "T". I have a "T" on my GT but it now has a complete 911S system on it.

It has adjustment but I believe it's epoxyed in place. There's a Birdie Board thread with all sorts of calculations and graphs on the p-valve.

I have an extra P-valve if anyone's in need.

Well, I got to drive mine today. It was way cool. The sound of a healthy V8 rumbling behind you and the power and torque you feel when you accelerate is so nice. A few more adjustments and some more tinkering and I will be out on the road tearing up the freeways and back roads of Southern California.

Congtraz! There's no better way to break that baby in than a nice drive to Phoenix. Say, February 27th?

Just giving you a hard time. Enjoy having your 914 back on the road. When they are right, they are SO RIGHT!

Just keep bleeding the brakes. Every couple of days go through the bleeders one at a time. Some times it just takes time to settle. I actually went through my bleeders today and got some bubbles in the rear two. It's still got more potential so I'll go through again in a few days. I'm not a believer in "bleeding" the P-Valve.

You asked for someone to describe their experience with removing the P-Valve on a 914 with stock brakes, so here is mine experience.

I removed the P-Valve and installed the "T" on one of my previous stock 914's and it improved the overall feel of the brakes. It eliminated the spongy pedal with no negative affect on the braking. I even did some autocrossing in this car and the rear brakes never locked up.

Shane,
Let us know how you like the dual webers. My 1.7 is still stock but I have been thinking about a single 2 barrel or a set of small Webers.
Do the 34 ITC's have chokes?
Have fun

Mike

Mike,

the dual 34s are awesome! lots more low end, though the high end is the same. before this i had a weber 32/36 progressive. that setup did well, but had little low end. an interesting benefit to having the dual 34 ICTs is the sound; much richer exhaust notes. i really like the sounds! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wub.gif) the ICTs have no choke that i can see, but after sitting in the garage for 4 months, it fired up no problemo. not sure if choke would have made a difference there.

if you are looking for a single progressive, let me know; i have one with the intake runners and stuff.
