Took it for a drive this morning before work...
Whoa, It's a totally different beast. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/unsure.gif) It through me right back into my seat and the acceleration is amazing. And the sound... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wub.gif) I still need to install the engine tin and make some minor adustments to the clutch and carb linkage. Overall a nice morning...And sunny, too. I'll get back at it after 3:00. May need to raise the rear end a touch or put in the 200# coil springs. I don't want to go back to work right now. The job is less than five minutes from home. I forgot something and *had* to post. ( I keep hearing that SIX chant )... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/huh.gif) Have a 914 day.

Right on! Isn't that sound just pure music! Who needs a radio with a six just behind you! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif)

No regrets. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) I like this "new" club. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)
Had a blast driving this afternoon after work. It's wild getting used to all the new shift points with the new RPM band. Adusted the clutch a little. The carbs still need some tweaking. KT |

OK...I'm insane now. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif)
Revving to 7300 RPM's in a 914 with SIX barrels of power on my neck is rather nice. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/cool_shades.gif) The dwell angle was off by 17 degrees and acted as a rev limiter, keeping me at 5300 rpm's ( which was fun BTW ) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) Hmmmm....Whose next?

Trekkor...Isn't that a kick having that 6 with Webers behind you just revving up a storm? I just love the sound of that! What kind of rev limiter are you running on the motor?
The reason I ask is that you will need something. The motor will just continue to rev to the moon and during auto-xing you will find yourself spinning that thing waaayyyy up! You need some protection from yourself....I should know.... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) Bill P. |

7300 RPM Rev limiting rotor came with the motor. I'd like to upgrade to electronic ignition, MSD? Anyone know where I can find a Pertronix module for an old scuzzy little six?...

www.pertronix.com (aka Patriot Exhausts--acquired from Thunderbird Exhaust), They're down here in SoCal, email them for a dearler near you --or give them a re-sale # and they will sell to you @ dealer $. MSD Ignition won't sell to you...you'll need to buy from Jeg's or a local speed shop. MSD also offers a good selection of "Soft touch" rev limiters. Also , your ign. rotor should have a rev limiter (yr.?) in it , my old 2.7 did.

Some tell about a very fast 914-6 tearing up a (beautiful) hill climb road in Napa this evening with a couple of 914 club guys on board.
Yes, Trekkor's car is working, so well in fact that I am having to re-think about a big 4, given the performance of his 6. This 2.0 liter goes like stink. Trekkor's installation work is first class and the proud owner is probably still smiling, as we was when I left him. But, so is the passenger. Great job Trekkor! You've got a great car. |

That was fun, Randal.
You showed up just in time, right after I put the final touches on the carbs. JP, I love that song (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/lol2.gif) Come race with us. KT |

O.K.- fours months later (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif)
Pertronix and MSD ignition have been added, so it's easy starting and reliable. Only had one oil leak. I've got seven a/x's and a track day (WCC) on it as well. This car is really great and I love the sound. Revving on grid and just before the green flag drops is a good way to get all stoked up. I HIGHLY recommend doing a SIX conversion to anyone who wants more power and performance out of their 914. thanks to all who have helped me do this.

Trekkor, I'm thinking of starting a thread, "how to build a race car around a stock 1.8" It was fun going through this thread again! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) Oh yeah and thanks for proving a sub $6K conversion is possible if you want to work hard and shop around for deals. |

Mike, If you come up to Marina ( Monterey ) for an a/x, I'll buy you lunch regardless. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)
Glad to hear you plan on keeping Manfred for a while at least.
Grant, you can do this for $4500 if you don't do all the hopped up extras unrelated to the actual conversion. KT |
