Time to meet Rotary NARP, welcome to the restart of my project Options

[Rotary'14]

Hi All,

I've been lurking around for a while now and felt it's time to get off my A$$ and put a teener back into my life. I went and rolled my last project car out of my ma's garage, a 1974 2.0 914. It has some rust issues in the rear trunk and the PO had some crappy repairs done to it, but I'm not complaining. This car has been sitting for over 10 years in my ma's garage. This would be my second rotary 914. The first rotary 914 I ever had was over 10 years ago, and it survived stop and go traffic and a vacation to SF california, I live in LA. It was my daily driver to my first "real" job for 3 years. But 3 years of daily driving really took it's toll on my poor 914 and lack of parking forced me to send it to the autobahn in the sky. I kept all the parts and I'm starting the project again.

That previous picture of my oil pan is when it was only half finished. I just put the engine/trans back into the car last week and found that I will have to cut off a little from the front corner of the oil pan to clear the shift linkage... but other than that things fit ok. My lasting concerns about the oil pan are whether or not it will restrict drainage from the flywheel end of the engine... because it is a flat plate until it drops into the sump just past the motor mount. I know my car looks like Junk but I think it will be strong (hopefully not too heavey) and look much better when It is finished.

I have already purchased everything for my cooling system... I am hoping it will be sufficient. I made a pipe thread adapter for the water outlet and will use 16 AN fittings throughout the system. Right after exitiing the engine I plan to have a surge tank with a filler, a thermostat and bypasses built into it. I am runing 1" aluminum tubes throught my center tunel to the front where I will have a 2 row double pass radiator. My primary electric coolant pump will be just before the return to the engine, I will wait to see if I need a second pump.

More lately I have been planning the fuel injection system, and thinking about power output goals (200-300 hp would be nice, anybody have hp and torque curves for N/A 13B?). I think I will probably use an aftermarket EMS (give me some recomendations on which one to use). I am also looking into supercharging the N/A engine. Once I figure out what my output will be I want to think about my gearing (I have already decided to use the 901 and nothing else)
