Can a few of you veterans out there please offer feedback regarding this dynograph?
This is new to me, but I am skeptical here. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Thanks! Mike in Munich Attached thumbnail(s) |

This car is FINALLY going on a ship in less than 2 weeks, and will be my little pride and joy (I HOPE!!) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)
beginning this spring over here in Munich. I haven't driven one of these things for over a quarter century (OMG, seems like yesterday (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) ) Is losing power at 4500 rpm going to be seriously irritating or do ya reckon I'll just want to shift around there anyway? I guess that is a bit of a dumb question, as it depends on whether yer racing or not, what you're used to and what you expect. I'm not going to be racing it, just possible occasional auto cross. I'm not used to anything but my 125 HP turbo diesel family wagon which handles great, for what it is, and is peppy. I like driving it, so if I enjoy taking an Opel Zafira hard into curves, I'm pretty confident this 914 is going to be a blast one way or another. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) And as far as expectations go... Can't say if I'll get used to "expecting" to lose power at 4500 RPM, but I guess that's going to be inevitable. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) until I get another one that's done right in the first place. I should have had this thing put on the dyno early in the project instead of last minute. If I had I would have upgraded the heads and cam first. Now it's too late for my taste as I've already invested way more into this car than I originally planned to and I think doing the heads over here would just be too expensive and going too far overboard budget-wise. M.i.M. |
