I just bought my first 914. I have had several early 911s and know my way around these cars.
The 914 will get an engine swap. It is being built as a GRM $2010 Challenge car. The car will then function as a DE car and potential DD if I can get the AC to work. There will be more details in another thread. has anyone converted to a hydraulic clutch setup? The swap will not run through a 901 box. Non-Porsche parts going in. Yeah, i will make some purists cry. Don't worry, its a flat four but it is water cooled. The slave cylinder is mounted to the drivetrain. I suppose I could go with a Tilton/Wilwood dual pedal setup. This should be easy to implement yet there are problems. Usually, the MC setup will not fit in the pedal area of a 911/914. The floor pedal sections are not too much different in terms of roominess. just looking for suggestions. |

QUOTE(Downunderman @ Sep 25 2009, 12:01 AM)  Its roughly 2.7 RS twin plug with PMO's, about 250 hp and weighs 970kg. Hey Downunderman, Looks like a very nice setup. Quick, light and great handling. Do you ever take to the track? I don't know where in OZ you live, but I LOVE Bathhurst. I have driven Laguna Seca and the Corkscrew was was fantastic, but Bathurst looks like 3 times that downhill! What a kick! As for my project, I wanted something "challenging" and set a goal of 5lbs/HP. So in went the 6.3 liter Chevy, 510 HP, 480 ftlbs torque. It is very fast, but I picked up a lot of weight: the commercial truck scales said 2575 lbs. The price I have been paying is HANDLING. It's been a real battle getting to the right spring rates, 2 swaybars and shock adjustments to combat the endless UNDERSTEER. I got it just about right but that created a bad wheelspin problem coming off corners, so in went the Quaife and then back trying to correct the NEW understeer. I've had many times when I thought "What the heck have you gotten yourself into." However, with the addition of the rear bar, I now have a car that is amazingly responsive, neutral and stable. Unfortunately, I have to wait until December for my next tract day for the "Track Proof." Enjoy your beauty, Terry |
