Just rolled into the driveway from a 70 mile trip back from McMark's Original Customs Shop in Napa... Wow. I left Mark's shop at about 4:30pm so I knew I was going to get some traffic. But magically, it was sporadic and I just cruised. This motor just never ceases to amaze me. 5th gear passes are no problem. The power is everywhere. Not peaky at all. just pulls from the bottom to the top. I love this motor!!!
I think my motor is a similar combo to Dave Hunt. He has Nickies which are actually good for a little power in addition to better cooling. I will be working out some details over the winter which will be small stuff at best. Possibly an external oil cooler. Though, I have to tell you guys this again, this motor runs cooler than my stock 2.0 liter. I strongly recommend the 2270 Raby kit. Build it yourself or have Mark do it. He has a couple of them under his belt now. This is the motor VW-Porsche should have used. |

Dan,
I think between the handling of the 914 and your skillzzz you might have had an advantage over the 911. Nice pic though. Makes me want to get out there on the track even more... |

Makes me want to get out there on the track even more... just for information purposes. the '65 911 is a purpose built track car. Full cage, gutted interior, 6" Fuchs with 205 Hoosiers, CF race seats, full track suspension and the aforementioned 170HP JWE motor. the car is probably weighs no more or even less than my 914 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) It was built to run the Carrera de Panamerica (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

That 2270 sounds sweet too! When Chris took it for a test run it sounded really nice. It even has me thinking to build one for season 1-2 for my track car. I figure until my driving skills get better I could cheat a little on dispacement b/c I will still loose (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) |
