Last night I wired up the oxygen sensor and fixed a problem with the shifter. Today I drove it in to work for the first time and my god does that thing move. Holy crap. 1st gear is out of commission for the time being as I need to look into why it won't fully engage, but starting in 2nd is no problem. My tach also doesn't seem to be reading out correctly, so I have to look into that too. On the positive side, the car hauls ass and sounds great. It sounds like a type IV. At idle and low rpm, its kind of like a Bursch exhaust sound but when you step on it its really freaking sweet. I only work 3 miles from home so the fans barely had a chance to come on, however when they did I could see the temperature move back down, so they are working.

Nice work dude. Nothing like having yups of power, great fuel economy and awesome handling.
I'd really like to get a ride in your car - I used to have a Subaru 2.5RS - it was a really great car with a lot of torque - it just kept on hauling...... I'd love to experience that in a 914... I bet you can break the tires loose pretty easily! Oh - another thing... keep in mind that that ECU does "learn". You'll probably find in a couple of weeks everything gets faster and more efficient.... If you make any changes to the intake or exhaust - you may want to reset the ECU. You do have the knock sensor hooked up right? Anyways: Great work! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) |
