Yes they are Bob! I see you found that ECU too (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) . I'll send you something for all that. You can't give everything away! Really appreciate you digging it all up.

BTW all Bob might be selling his flared orange car. He's putting a 6 speed Boxster trans in it first but it'll be ready next year. It has a 383 in it that runs perfectly. I'm kind of a wimp in the passenger seat but that one is a real neck snapper even with the 901 in it. The interior is tan with a neat high bolstered drivers seat. He is re-doing the flares with steel ones and then will paint it. If you get to him beforehand you can choose your own color. If I had the room I would have (tried to at least) bought it a while ago. Just throwing it out there early for anyone looking for a V8 car.

I'll have to see that one next time I'm out... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Maybe I'll be at home then. Retired last month (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

Hey Chris, or anyone with the Celica radiator,

I searched for pictures, but can't tell. Does the Celica radiator fit between the headlight buckets well enough that it could be slanted forward?

Sorry for the bump, but that's all for now.

Yes. Mine is slanted forward.

I am not looking for a V8 car specifically, but I do want to own a 914 with a nice modern transmission swap. Why wouldn't you want the orange color it is now! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif)

If it was built by Bob, I am sure it will be a great driver. Add a fuel injection kit to the 383 along with the Boxster trans will make for a reliable hotrod.

I said the same thing about the color. Not much better than a fresh coat of Signal Orange. It'll be nice car that you can drive anywhere.

Update...working on the "heater core in the fresh air box". First I had to take the wiper assembly out to lube it and change the rubber mounting bushings. Dang that thing is not fun to reinstall!

Here is the modified airbox.

FYI the STOCK mid-90's mustang heater core is a little too thick to fit inside the fresh air box. I had to modify mine a bit. I'd go for the thinner aftermarket one if you're going to do this.

I'll have a bleeder valve on the higher line and a Rabbit open/close valve on the lower intake line.

So if you do this you will be eliminating the tube that comes up from the passenger compartment and connects to the heat/fresh air distribution system up front through this:

You can seal them up with these 2" rubber plugs from the plumbing aisle at Home Depot:

You also want to lock the flapper in the up position to keep any heat/fresh air from escaping or coming out the wrong area.

Attached Image

Permanently lock this

Attached Image

Now...couple of quick questions...

Does anyone know how the wires that connect to the fresh air box go back in to the connector they go in?

Attached Image

Could someone look at their 914 and see which way their lower heater outlets under the dash are pointed? Does the wider opening point towards the middle of the car or towards the door?

I just keep looking at this thing...the simplicity...why did I wait so long?

Every wire is imprinted with the function.

The EG33 ECU itself has 76 wires. There are also ~4 more that connect to other things. This harness has 36 wires, many of which won't even be used.

BTW also could someone PLEASE look at the plug that is connected to his/her fresh air fan up front and tell me which wire goes in which slot here? It's the 4 connector power source for the fan. Thanks!

Attached Image

I have LOTS of updates but need to prove they work before posting them. Will document the MS3 install as well.

Wow, making me jealous with that.... I've got about 60lbs of wiring in my car...

When you take those out of the holder you think "of course I won't forget how these went..."

Hard to get to. Even after I removed the expansion chamber from the gas tank. Looks like I used Andy's camera. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif)

Perfect! Thank you Kent! Now I can test my heater. Have to finish the timing belt job on my wife's Volvo then I'm 100% finishing the 914 refresh.

Totally replaces it. Also eliminates many of the unneeded stuff like the EGR, complicated fuel pump/fuel delivery system, etc.

Very cool! So is there a MegaSquirt map already available for the EG33? What are you doing with that old harness? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

Hi George,

There are maps on the msextra site. I have a crap-ton of wiring I can give you when I'm done. I'll also have an extra ECU I can pass on.

I picked up a used MS3 with the expansion boards and ignition modules needed to run the advanced came on the EZ36 for 750$ earlier this year.
