Hi All,

Had a surprise when I went to pickup some of my 914 powder coated parts at Exotic Coatings in Romulus, MI. Exotic Coatings is owned by Joe Williams who's dad is my long time childhood friend. My good friend Fred started the business & turned it over to the son, but Fred is still in charge. They give me good prices & quality work because of our long time friendship. It's great to have friends in high places. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif)

Anyway, I didn't know they built this beautiful (4) passanger street buggy with a Turbo fired Type-1 motor. Because they own a powder coating shop you can see why it's a beauty. The motor was built by Pete, a local personal buddy of Fred (free) for some (free) powder coating on his street buggy. Joe told me they ran it at the Woodward Cruise at 10-lbs boast putting out about 350-hp. He said it will put out close to 400-hp with a boast of 13-14-lbs. My question, is this true hp or were they BSing me?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

I'll get a ride in it sometime soon. Here's some photo's to drool over. It's a Type-1 motor so I'll only post a few pics. unless you want more. Speak up please.

Tom

The new CB looks to be worlds better than the old, but from the description is fuel only- no crank fired ignition control, so still behind the game a bit.

True enough. I definitely like the remote tech assistance though. If you're going to sell aftermarket fuel injection systems that's gotta be a huge help.

Hey Dave, how did those Panasport wheels work out?

Love the Panasports. They look great on the car. Had a little leaking problem with them, but turned out to be the type of rim weight used to balance them. Have switched to stick on weights and no more slow leaks. Thanks for the great deal.

Here is the car, rims, and turbo parked in display mode in front of the GRM tent at Road America a month ago or so.

Man, your car really looks fine. I'm glad the wheels found a good home. No, a great home.

One thing though Dave. I guess you haven't heard. You can't turbo a T4.

Speaking of sidedrafts and draw-throughs, here's my son's old turbo bug:

(IMG:http://i379.photobucket.com/albums/oo234/paulillick/Andrestrubomotor.jpg)

He did that when he was about 18 and he didn't let me know. He knew I didn't much like turbos so he did it out of spare parts when I wasn't looking. That exhaust was supposed to be temporary to get the engine running, but it threw out big flames that the kids thought were cool, so he left it on. They were 18, don't forget. It was cool, I guess, until one evening when a policeman pulled up closer behind him to see what the hell this kid had sticking out of his engine and was staring into the engine compartment trying to figure it out just what that was when it farted a fireball. The cop was not amused. Only gave him a fixit ticket, but that was the end of the turbo.
