Nothing good to report. We had a input shaft leak on the trans so we had to take it out and fix it and the really no bueno news is that we had to tear off the ecu and harness and go a different route. The car just could not be tuned properly. We have already started to build the new harness but time to play with projects is hard to come by so i bought myself a pacifier




First your Audi / 996 build looks fabulous- looking forward to the end result.

Also, love that "911 pacifier " there! You know how to enjoy the fruits of your labor (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) A Big Congrats.

Love, Love, Love that "new" 914! But your shop/garage is too clean - and not a jack stand to be seen. I'm not sure I can trust you.

Mike, i have not given up. I have 2 friends who asked me to keep an eye out for clean 914's and so i have been looking and then came across this red 73 1.7 that was painted in 1986 and never put back together. 2 owner car that has 68k miles. I could just not pass it up. So the way i was able to get the car was to tell the wife it would be a flip car (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)
I am going to try to keep it.

Tygaboy, As far a the clean garage goes, it is not mine. My friend who is building the other 914 is setting up the shop to get back into cars full time so he will be finishing that car sometime soon.

Really looking forward to seeing the 914/Audi finished as I have just started one with the 2.7t and Cayman S 6 speed and working with forum member Curbandgutter on the 996 suspension install on both our projects. Very nice work so far and the engine looks awesome in there.

I am sort of doing what you did, gather parts, get it going and some progress under way before I start a build thread. Things can take years to build. I've done one with 993 suspension and one with C5 corvette suspension and they took years to get done. I have a Machine shop that takes up so much time there is barely week ends to work on my car projects but I always have one going. Here is a pick of my 914/ 993 suspension.Attached Image

Cool. Are you "coasting" down the driveway or under power? If its running, will you share a current state engine bay view of the build? Good job.

I talked too Chris Scott about his 914/audi 2.7t and he guided me on a few of the things I will have to tackle. Sounds like his will be moving along here shortly. I may turn towards the same stand alone ECU if I find them still available.
Not to highjack so I will be short, Yes it is under power with an LS6 and G50/52 with a quaife LSD. I have built two similar cars with this drivetrain. And that is exactly why I am now going the Audi 2.7/ Cayman S direction. I used to be power hungry thinking the most was the best. A telephone pole changed my mind about that.
I can't wait to see how Chis's turns out. This drivetrain is perfect for a 914 and it keeps the German theme. The trans is cheap enough and bolts directly to the Audi motor so that you can buy Audi clutch package rather than an expensive adapter set up.

I love my Audi/Boxster setup. Only a 1.8t but still good for 325hp. I just don't have the suspension... Not that suspension anyway. The 911 and 930 parts still work pretty good... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Chris this is the link to the build

http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?act...=2&t=206845

I'm Rudy. I started the build of a 996 tube frame 914 with a home built chassis table and a 996 fixture jig. CSDILLIGAF saw it and wanted to do the same thing. So now we are doing twin cars. He is a master machinist and I am an engineer that loves to wrench and weld just as much as geeking out on engineering stuff. He will start to build his tube frame once my car is unbolted from the 996 fixture that I built.

I was originally going with a coyote motor but CSDILLIGAF "Chip" talked me into going with the 2.7TT. After I saw your build and remembering how a friend of mine had an S4 with a chip and how amazing that car felt, well it was not that hard to switch from the coyote to the 2.7TT.

I'm almost done with the full tube frame. Looking to install suspension this weekend and then on to installing 2.7tt with Cayman S G87 Tranny. Your project is awesome by the way. Thanks for "paving" the way.

I have a friend/business partner who builds complete plug and play VEMS systems with custom harnesses. He builds systems for several Porsche models, BMW, and Mercedes(and probably a few others we haven't talked about). He does base tunes with all his systems and can do custom tunes as well. He lives in Estonia(Eastern Europe) but is really good at responding on US time. He could build your harness and get your tune perfect.
He can deal with stock intake systems or custom intake systems. He has built up several ITB systems for 993s, 3.2 and 2.7 911's, etc.
He goes by raceboy on rennlist and pelican.

I can provide his contact info to anyone who has a VEMS system or would like to know more about VEMS systems.

I decided to change color and direction on the interior and will be selling the tan interior. I have posted a for sale add in the classifieds.

Still not any progress to report other than finally getting the final wheels and tires. I did make a mistake on the offset and rendered my steel gt flares too small. So i picked up a set of Sheridan rears.
