Another 3.0ltr 914 project Options

[alan9144]

Ok, I was swithering whether I should go Subaru or 911 when a 3.0ltr sc came up at (I hope!) a good price, complete with loom, ecu, tank, cooler etc. So I bought it, decision made.

Wont get it for a few weeks so I have been immersing myself in old posts on the subject and think the following is the bits and pieces I need to do.

1. Fabricate mount bar
2. Reverse CIS intake to fit in engine bay
3. Modify Gear linkage
4. Fit oil tank and cooler (can a 911 tank be used?)
5. Fabricate exhaust
6. Wire up electrics
7. connect fuel supply & return
8. Move engine lid catch
9. Fire up and go for a blast (wishful thinking probably) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)

Have I missed anything out?

couple of extra tidbits too:

the 911 oil tank will not fit
not that it couldn't be used, but it certainly won't fit into the stock 914/6 fender location.

the 2 911 tank applications I can think of were 1 in the front trunk floor and the other in the rear trunk floor. Both sacrificed trunk space and originality

another thing. The 911 oil motor input fitting. Its made as a part of the oil cooler but faces the wrong way for a 914 application. Most people take their 911 cooler off and have it fabricated with a different end, so that it points the correct way for a teener.

Nother thing. Fabricate exhaust really means buy headers or heat exchangers and then fabricate mufflers. The 911 Heat exchangers (and headers for that matter) point the wrong way, so most people buy 914/6 headers and give up the heating system.

the rest of the usual items are not mandatory to make it run.. they are just recommended to cope with putting that much power through a chassis that wasn't originally designed for it. Things like an auxillary oil cooler for that big motor, etc.
