Just picked up an older sibling to compliment my current toy (993 C4S - track toy). The plan is to refurbish it over time. It needs just about everything touched/fixed/rejuvenated, but it starts first try and runs so I'll drive it for a while and learn it before I really dive into restoring it.
Its a 75 w/1.8L and its original 1.8 as a spare. Still running the F.I. and has been repainted before. Some rust around but not to bad that I've seen so far (haven't had it on my lift yet, so....... It looks so far like it'll be an excellent candidate to restore (not far gone at all). Hope to get to know you all like I have over on Rennlist. That site took a complete newbie and created a monster (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I know you guys are just as passionate as they are over on the 993 board. I haven't had a 914 in over 20 years so I'll be looking for lots of help I'm sure! TIA Attached thumbnail(s) |

No carbs!!!! If you want REAL six performance, use MFI!!!
The FI for the 1.8 is very good, just too small of a throttle body for anything bigger 2056 using 1.8L heads that have been fitted with 2.0L valves and an overbored throttle body. Use 912E injectors and a 1.7 fuel pressure regulator to increase the fuel flow to the engine for the bigger bore and stroke. Stick with a Web86 or smaller cam and a lightened flywheel. That will generate good performance and still be drivable. Kinda funny how a bunch of people who had 914s back in the 70s and early 80s and moved on to more expensive Porsches are buying a 914 again.
