![]() Mario, of the dub shop (thedubshop.net) fabed up an awesome intake for the 914. It looks great and now I can even hear the Tangerine Racing exhaust over the itb's. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) |

Nice, clean installation but seems to be a solution in search of a problem. IMHO. Normally, I would not disagree with Mark, however don't throw away the cross bar linkage. It can be modified easily. There was a thread on how to do this some years ago but I can't find it. I did mine and there is absolutely NO play in the linkage. Here's mine.

For one in this pic the angle of the connecting arm puts a large thrust (side) load on the carb, it will cause premature wear. A crossbar linkage can be done, but I rarely see one I feel is acceptable. Except for the Gene Berg for a type 1, I've never seen a good crossbar set-up out of the box.

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/post-7407-1454955688.jpg) Yah, I don't like your linkage either.....not that I have personally seen your linkage. Also, why is it all red in there? Did you run out of black pain? The big issue I had with any cross bar linkage is the engine expands when it gets hot. I measured mine and it was not trivial. That expansion is not accounted for in a cross bar linkage, th cross bar just gets loose. I ended up with Foleys cable system and it really is a one shot deal, set it and forget it. |
