Yep, these were fun. But a nice way to add some bling.

While I work on my 240Z, I’m struck by how much easier it was to just put a 3.2 Carrera motor in my 914. Nothing is easy. Very little just bolts in.
Some background. I have many options for the driveline. Some put in LS motors. Others put in GTR motors from Japan. I decided to stick with the original L6 in a way. I’m using a 280Z block bored and stocked to 3 liters. I’ll use an L28 intake manifold that has been ExtrudeHoned and a Drive-By-Wire throttle body. The throttle body is almost twice the size of stock and doesn’t just bolt up to the Z manifold. Enter my buddy Rex a machine shop manager and Datsun 510 guy. Check out this adapter he designed and built for me! One side will bolt to the intake while the other bolts up the TB… Attached thumbnail(s)

Get one of our spec designed 1.625" o/d exhaust headers from Top End Performance. We build these for that company, as the standard 1.50" header (stockish' engines) is a choke point on the stroker engines.

QUOTE(sixnotfour @ Apr 24 2019, 03:10 AM)  omg.. you love your 914....you should get Yopu something better than a early Rabbit...just sayin.... I remembered this 5~6 year old post from @sixnotfour . Jeff I want you to know, YOPU has a 2024 Lexus 450 something we bought her new. $85K or thereabouts. She’s had it for about 2 years now. I was unaware of how much she drives it. The other day she asked me to drive it to the dealership for scheduled maintenance. I looked at the mileage and it was 6K miles. 6K in two years! At $85K she could have called a f’ing limo every time she leaves the gosh darn house! She changed up everything when Covid hit. Even groceries are delivered. Amazon delivers daily and she meets her financial planning clients at a coffee shop less than a mile from home! She’d be fine with an f’ing early rabbit. She never owned one but… (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) |
