At the DE today at Firebird Raceway, there was one very quick 2.0L 914.
I met and talked with the owner John Seymour for awhile. One of the innovations he came up with really looks interesting. Instead of the stock air filter box. he looked for a way to get cooler air into the motor. Study the photo (I have more if you want me to post). He ran a PVC pipe from the TPS to hoses that go down to the J tubes. From there they are connected to the air ducts in the longs and finally, he is pulling air from the opening in front of the windshield. He claims it works like a charm. I don't doubt him, as he is running D-jet and was as quick or quicker than the 2.0L cars that had been converted to carbs. |
