Since starting on my LS1 conversion I've found 4 other people with LS1 powered porsches 2 914's and 2 911's with Toyjet having one of each.

How many times did Scott tell us "you cant use a LS1"...

Maybe he got Kerryitis (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Anyway, Mike was the one who told me about it. Scott was up "late" the previous night so couldn't make it in the shop by NOON (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
The SEMA show makes you believe anything is possible...

All running.......... Toyjet says he has done 2 914's so that makes the total 5. All of the other cars are running. I guess I need to get off my ass and get to work. I plan to drive from Atlanta to the WCC05 in the LS1 car.

No trailer for me............. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

Ahh yes.. Toyjet. Cant stand that hideous wing he devised for the 911 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif) He could have at least tried to use a late model race wing setup... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif)

Just looked at his pics of the 914... he put a friggin L88 corvette scoop on the 914 hood... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif)

Cool to see there is not much effort needed to flip the intake around.

I sent him an email inquiring about the "kit" to install a LS1 into the 914. I have a complete "nice" car right now that needs and engine (the little 1.7 gave up)

Brad here is one with a flipped intake. What kind of transaxle is this? The people that did this say it is a G50 and also say that they use audi 6SP transaxles. I can't see a starter anywhere???

In an LT1 (the engine with the cam driven water pump) the water pump ends up well above the engine shelf. It would be right where you would probably want your shoulder. My solution is to do the electric water pump retrofit to the stock water pump housing, and relocate the whole thing to the front trunk. Haven't done it yet, wish me luck (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Bigkat Bob,

What trans are you using with your LS1? And did you make your own adapter?

I think TOYJET is using 901

BIGKAT_83, let mw know if you do decide to sell some of your parts off. Is this something you would sell early this winter or next year?

Thanks for the help guys, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

Since my budget is tight I was actually looking into a used V8. I would like to get a good summer out of the V8 and then rebuild it the following winter to what it should be.

I just received a great e-mail from DH. Very informative and help full. He seems like a great guy.

Cheers (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I like the whole idea of an electric pump. Consistant flow of water not changed by throttle input. Which pump did you use  from Dedenbear ?

Brad, I'm using their WP3 remote pump. I've got a little more than 1000 miles on it since last May. There is one thing I still need to do to my cooling system. I had drilled a small bleeder hole in my thermostat. I need to take the thermostat out and plug this hole or make it smaller. My engine is now running too cold, like 150-160, with the cooler fall temps. That small hole is bypassing enough water to the radiator that the engine never heats up. The DH pump and the others with the traditional belt-drive pumps have the history and reliability behind them, but this little Dedenbear pump is looking like a winner so far. I'll be the guinea pig on this I guess. That's why I like this stuff so much 'cause it's a chance to experiment and do things a little different. On the other hand, some things you stick with and do like everybody else does.

There's a 914 V8 (Purple) here running a Meiziere pump successfully for street and track. I found a manufacturer at SEMA that uses a "more reliable" brushless motor Stewart Pumps.

I thought the Dedenbear was designed for non-radiator strip cars. I use their fill/expansion tank.
