A new intake plenum and runners have been on the "to do" list for a while now.
While doing some reading the specs. on the Cayman, I noticed "variable length intake system." Of course this got me thinking....." 914 retrofit!!!!". Anyone ever tried this? |

It's not an overly complicated system though, especially if you can scavenge some of the mechanism from a 911 engine... |

The variable parts just change when and where the power/torque happens. Keith, Look into the Mazda racecars..... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mazda_787B I'd imagine there is more info and pictures on the setup. |
