Hello,
My son and I have a 1975 Porsche 914 1.8l. Has the same stock fuel injection. Been sitting in the garage for years, but want to revive it. So far, took the gas tank out, getting professionally cleaned and sealed, all the rubber hoses are shot, but the 2 plastic fuel lines appear to be good. Need advice on just about everything, but engine issues first. 1. Removing all the 1975 smog items. Not sure what exactly what smog items to take off and and what should be only be remaining to run the fuel injection. Step by step instructions would be good. 2. Seals and gaskets to replace. 3. Pulled off the old heat exchangers and old Ansa exhaust, to replace with a header and muffler. 4. Air cleaner improvements? 5. Performance upgrades. Suggestions welcome ! |

Is it a California 914? If so, there is more smog than 49 state. Keep the parts as someone with a ‘76 might need them to pass the smog test. You’ll need to seal the heads after removing the pump. I’ve heard it’s NPT but not sure. Other than that, it’s not much different than the 49 state cars. Your exhaust will eliminate the CAT.

I will keep the parts. What is the best way to "seal the heads" ? So what are some of the best exhaust systems ? Need help on making a 49 state car. Thanks.. |
