My 5 year old replaced all 16 lug bolts with wheel studs today. So easy, a pre-K kid can do it. All I did was follow behind and torque them in.

Then he drove the car back into the bay while I pushed!

Today was a very good day. Did not get anything done on the engine, but my son was so happy to b able to help with the car.

Zach,
You have helped me in the past, so here is a return. Have some more of those very good days. Those five year olds have a way of growing faster than any Porsche ever drove. Thanks for the pix. And I think the advice about the oil pump studs makes sense, since that is looking to be my weekend.

I put insurance back on Mr. Yellow Sunflower today. My 7 year old and 4 year old are pumped to be taking the 914 out for a drive.


(IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

I hope they don't have it out too long.

Zach,

You could always do what I did.
Buy a running 911 and you wont work on the 914 for at least 3 more years.

I do have one fender flare welded on...and three laying on the roof.

Yeah, that's what I did, and then three head studs hit me in the face when I went to adjust the exhaust valves.

Holy crap! Progress got made!

I brought the engine to Rods shop for the ECC / Work party. Got a lot done on the EFI upgrade. I love working with other people. Special thanks go to Steven for keeping me on point for the past few weeks. He was a great help in figuring out how all the parts went together at Scott's shop in VA (where we could not actually get work done as I had forgotten the damned intake spacers at home...)

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/farm8.staticflickr.com-1435-1381758098.1.jpg)
Check out the bitch'n orange injector holders. Jim gave them to me when I realized how grungy mine were. Just happened that he had Rod powder coat like 20 of them for him. I love it!

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/farm4.staticflickr.com-1435-1381758098.2.jpg)
The trick here was the coupler nuts. We spent a lot more time then we should have trying to figure out how the COP bracket attached until I remembered the coupler nuts.

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/farm8.staticflickr.com-1435-1381758099.3.jpg)
Bracket and coil near plug (CNP) detail. Everyone that saw this at ECC thought it was a really elegant design.

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/farm6.staticflickr.com-1435-1381758099.4.jpg)
Another view of the CNP bracket and install.

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/farm8.staticflickr.com-1435-1381758100.5.jpg)
I was able to use Rod's ultrasonic cleaner to de-grunge my throttle body, and got that installed.

The wires are piled on the engine here. I had McMark label them, install will be a snap.

My plan now is to finish adding the FI stuff, and take the whole mess to Translog for dyno tuning on his engine dyno. That will save me a LOT of time tuning, and I will get a dyno sheet when its done (ie - I'll actually KNOW how much power this engine is making). I'm hoping that it makes ~130.

Another benifit of letting Translog tune it is that they will be better at fixing the oil leaks... I have jet to get pushrod seals to to actually seal the first time. If there are other drips that show up tony will be able to get them (or at least ID them).

I REALLY have to get my car on the rod. Bob (that ass!) drove his car to Rods. I have seriously got to step up my game.

The knob is on the wrong side. Not going to change it unless the tin does not fit. It not like I will have to adjust a dizzy any longer...

Two options, at least. I used a Compu-Fire tach adapter. MSD makes one, and there are others.

McMark is working on an idea that he got from the forum that replaces the guts of the tach with current technology. It's going to be cleaner and better than the adapter.

The coil in a normal 12v relay should work as an output adapter too. It's what I used in my car. Better result than the msd adapter too

This is the tach upgrade. It's not my development. I'm just following Timothy's instructions. Seems like the perfect solution to me. Works with most upgraded ignitions (MicroSquirt/MegaSquirt/MSD/etc) and works better than stock. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumb3d.gif)

Matt and Bob have both offered to come over and help me finish it out. But I've been swamped with family lathe work and deer season.
I'm going to host a frozen digit build party in January and hopefully that will end with the car turning over.
