Last night Karl mentioned to me that he had pulled a groin as he experienced the
G's encountered during a WOT acceleration test well into 5th in the 914 Turbo Carrera. Karl and I took a road trip to check out the progress of Paul Borks 914 GT project which is shaping up beautifully, a very skilled restoration with a V6 conversion. http://www.phoenixhobbies.com/html/project_914.html Before we left on our excursion I further restricted my oil line feeding the turbo with a .20 nitrous injector nozzle to try and eliminate oil blowing past the turbos seals, " it worked ". I am going to pull of the drain hose today and run it to see how well the oil is flowing out of the turbo. If it has a nice flow I will stick with the restricter and hope a microscopic particle doesn't plug it up. More to follow I will have the video camera along today. |
