It's always a great time when Andrew comes by the Red Barn!
Fun seeing you and Dave. My shop is always open for you.

We'll work has been keeping me way to busy so no real updates.


I have been able to drive it a bit. I had a smoking issue that has been resolved with a catch can. I made a temporary one out of a oil can to have a proof of concept.

Worked great and no smoking. I turned the boost up to 14psi (wastegate max) and no visible smoke. (pulls great too... Damn things legitimately fast in 3rd. ).

I have to say it is definitely fast. And best of all it sounds like a proper sports car. Most of us have heard 4 cyl racing sports cars and this car reminds me of that every time I hear it. So cool.

Been driving it every once and a while. It definitely likes the cold weather. But the shifter hasn't gotten any better. I'm contemplating a boxster trans so I can rule out my shift linkage setup, and at the same time replace the clutch. I'll likely redo the clutch master first though as I believe the angle it's at might be causing the issue.


I have been having an issue with not being able to connect to my boost controller since before WCR and I resolved that last night with a new USB cable.

This means I can finally log my pulls in my boost controller with it's onboard data logging and accelerometers (HP and Torque graphs tied to boost/AFR/Throttle). Now I know what the car did on the dyno with this setup so I can compare and make minor adjustments in the numbers so I can get back to tuning this car and bumping the power up.

The first thing I need to do is find my file I wrote for the new closed/open loop controller program (the boost controller mfr rewrote the software). I made a nice one about 6 months back that was tied into throttle values as well as the usual boost by gear.



Now I'm not expecting it to bump my power as I think I'm on the limits of my wastegate spring. But I want to test this out before I replace the wastegate with my dual port one. (one variable at a time).


Also I toyed around with the oil catch can some more. I don't like it where I planned on it. I'm going make it more hidden and smaller.








Oh and I think I'm going to put the 944 under the knife this winter. I either need to start driving it a lot or sell it. And I love driving it but it needs some work. I need to talk to Dad about that one (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Andrew - Once you spec the new catch can, you're welcome to come by for some cutting/bending/welding.
Or, send me the dimensions and I can cut the parts and ship them to you.

Better yet, maybe another "open house/fab day" at Red Barn? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

I tried out my spool gun on some aluminum scrap. It's not too bad. It will take some practice. Tig is next.

Glad you're making progress.

So heres a fun video (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I need to start spending a lot more time with @Andyrew and @Dan10101 . I mean really fire up the bromance so that once they're world famous from doing these vids, they'll let me be part of their posse! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)

Seriously though. Words don't express how great it is to see a father and son with this sort of camaraderie. You both should be very proud. Thanks for sharing!

You got that part right, If we did Hondas or Mustangs, we'd have a chance. But there are too few 914s left in this world.

But, you could make a name for yourself filming your stuff. Turn the video camera on, get some footage, add some pictures and then narration overlay and BAM!, you got a video of your build! (or 20 videos, you got a lot of good content) Post it on our channel or make your own!

Andrew, I have been thinking about this wrt my car also since I plan to start my trans swap soon. We're you are to confirm before or during installation that you got the expected throw from the clutch slave for your pedal movement?

I have the 1.8t aeb 058 engine used assembled and it has been sitting. So if I want to first pump oil can I spin a front pully, which turns the oil pump? I would like to flow oil first.

I am checking if that is possible.

It’s been *looks at imaginary watch* a while since I’ve updated!

The biggest thing is that I’ve been driving the car. I have issues but so also have workarounds. Which means I can enjoy the car.

Now many of you follow the Budget Outlaws YouTube page and I thank you for that. But there is one thing you’ll notice from that page and that there really isn’t any content of me working on my car.

So my good buddy @Tygaboy successfully guilted me into coming over to his shop and working on my car. If you’ve never seen his creative and problem solving process it’s really fun to watch.

Stay tuned as more updates will definitely follow (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

That looks really good and it only took 28 minutes! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif). It is a lot of fun working with Chris!
