I'm baaaack.
Hi everybody. Maybe some of your remember me. I was very active on the 914 forums about ten years ago. I rebuilt my 1.7 fi 73 914 into a Dell Orto carbed, high compression, big cammed, 2.0 liter. Tom Gould, Wayne Dempsey, and I built the motor in Wayne's Manhattan Beach apartment garage. Gill Paszek helped me with the five lug conversion, and numerous other projects like a passenger footwell sub woofer. I also mounted BMW 320i front brakes, thru the body roll bars, and fuchs replicas. I had the engine compartment and body painted Gaurds Red. John Larson of West Coast Garage rebuilt my 901 tranny and helped me keep the car running, cause I drove it like I stole it. Driving the car was a blast for the past ten years. I blew the engine twice, once with a blown head gasket, and another dropped valve seat, (my second). EMS wanted $800 to fix the head this time, so I decided it's time. I've been wanting to do the six conversion for over ten years, so I'm finally going to do it. I actually started a few months ago. I thought I should do a conversion thread. Six conversion threads used to be very plentiful, but I don't see so many anymore. I would appreciate links, cause I'm gonna need a lot of information, advice, and of course, parts. Here is the car now, well I've removed the 2.0 liter motor.

Carbs = 12 mpg
CIS = 22 - 27 mpg I kept the CIS. Butt simple and when in tune, starts first time everytime, even at 11,000 feet. I didn't know you could change the dizzy in a simple swap as the 3.0 is hall effect, reverse rotation. I have an 007 dizzy someone was trying to swap the drive gears to make the 007 reverse rotation. Stock 3.0 ignition requires a 6 pin CDI .... can be had used for about $300 if you watch the boards. Brain ... I don't think so ... just eliminate the Frequency Valve (as in take it out of the fuel lines). Fuel pump, fuel accumulator and filter can cost some bucks. Fuel distributor, WUR and injectors can be cleaned (Sorry Cap'n, I will argue with you on this one) with cans of Brake Cleaner and lo pressure air. Most rebuilders won't touch CIS mechanical injectors as there is no money in it for them. I cleaned and flowed my own. I also cleaned my own fuel distributor and WUR. Rebuilts can be had on the FD for about $400 and on the WUR for about $250 if necessary. Nothing else in the system. I'll take relialibilty over Bling anyday. |

Yea I'm slow, I rode the little yellow bus. But Slits is Glen of Ron and Glen fame. When I lived in LA, I used to ride all the way out to Riverside for your swap meets. I think I bought half of my 914 parts from you or at your swap meets. How you doing man? I'm originally from the East Side of San Antonio, so I'll take the bling for now. I'm keeping the CIS stuff, so maybe after I get the conversion running and sorted out a little, I'll upgrade to FI. Keeping it simple for now, like I said, I'm a little slow. Bee Jay |

Bee Jay OK, The Captain corrected me. Your Ron of the Ron and Glenn show. You used to work at Pelican. Remember that wild weekend in Vegas for SEMA about ten years ago? Well SEMA is next week. You going. I'll be there. I never miss SEMA. Bee Jay |
