Turbo for a 914..., this may work Options

[spare time toys]

Check www.ststurbo.com they put it away from the engine. I would think it would have a big turbo lag. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

Nice Old school Crown turbo system, thou I did not care for the design the boast on these was restricted via the boast controller, very inefficient design adds too much heat to the charge. The more modern - Yeah right Wategate is a better choice then yes it is easy to add a dial to the cockpit and watch the parts fly. I don't use them but when my ricer buds want me to add one, I put it on and then rig it to only make the boast gauge go up and down, instead of the computer.

Nobody complains about to much power - they complain when the engine burns, drops parts or punches holes into things! Unless you are racing, and you want to turn down the boast don't think you can tune with a frickin' knob! I see so many badly tuned cars it is not funny.

I have an $80,000 show truck sitting in the garage right now with a super cool built engine a nice blower and Accel fuel injection. It runs like crap and thats why it is here, I am going to reprogram the Accel and get it tuned properly, have to fix the alignment and wipers etc.... This guy spent 80K on a piece of crap that wins shows but you can't drive the dang thing even down a parade line at the show. Yeah he as tons of knobs-on the dash, I am going to gut the and make them into a placebo group when this thing is done. He is paying me to make it run correctly, don't need him jacking it up because he thinks he knows EFI, engines, supercharges, gearing etc... Heck he could not find a shop to do the alignment on this thing, a piece of chalk and a framing square and a plumb bob worked just fine for me. Since the thing is jacked up so high, its not a problem setting everything by measuring with a tape. Can't believe people pay for this crap, I am now back to turning wrenches for a living. No I did not give up the day job - this is beer money (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif)

Next project is a GTO no not a ferrari (I wish) engine rebuild on a Pontiac 400 V8, this guy restored it, and left the engine and drive train alone - dang, oh well more money for the holidays. A bug is next - electrical, and the a 914 race car for PCA GT5R, I am becoming the handy man of autos around here. Bring it on Daddy needs a new plasma cutter!

Dang sorry about the rant - MikeZ knows how to turn my knob I guess! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
