Let the batt. charge most of the morning. put in some new gas, some squirts of starter fluid and she fired off. Not running the best yet though. I figure it has a plugged injector or two. But it is running (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) The engine code is M28 20 That makes it the US version 234 HP I can live with that (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Im going to get it running better then pull it out. I will be selling the old 1.7 with the intakes you racer guys got excited over. just need to figure out to sell compleete or parts.

We knew it ran, I fired it up and it ran for about a minute before it ran out of gas. And while you were there it fired but shut right off. Then we couldnt get it to start again. Sounds healthy, dont it?

Congrats on the engine!

A couple of years ago Pano ran an article about putting a 928 engine into a 914 . . . have you seen that? If not, I'll see if I still have that on the shelf.

Best,

If its the same pano magazine I have they moved the whole drivetrain wheels in all back about 6" so they didn't have to mess with the firewall.
What a mess and it looks kinda wierd with the wheels pushed back into the trunk.

I like what Alien did.
That looks like the cleanest way of installing the 928 engine.
If you want the pano article email me and I will email it to you.
I already scanned it for someone else.

I hope I get to see that thing run when you get it finished.
What is the weigh difference between a Type IV and the 8?
Have you figured out what your new overall weight will be?

When I put the gas in it sounded like it was going into a big empty cave. Probably what you put in out there was just enough to fire off but not keep the pickup covered. It does sound good cant wate to hear it hitting on all 8 consistantly. I like your exhaust set up I think Ill try something along that line with a flowmaster.

for some reason I think the 914 looks better with the rear wheels moved back (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif)


Larry, no temptations of fixing the 928 and driving it? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Nope. It lived a good life now it must give up its heart so the teener will live. So to say... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool_shades.gif) And it will live on in other 928s around the country when I sell off the parts (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I may drive it around the block just once though (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

That be Don Kravig's 914-8 . We saw it at Monterey in the 90's for either a PCA event or a historic weekend event. It was there along with Beach Boys racing 914 dealio roadster. I have some old pix of Don at Ontario Motor Speedway in his 911 lightweight. He was running up on 3 wheels in the parking lot slalom (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) One day I'll get this scanner to talk to this PC... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

I also like the look of the extended wheel base especially for a track car. I would think that car is still around somewhere unless it got wrecked.

reminds me of an Ultima with the wheels way back there....time to break out the welding machine (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I have a copy of that article someone emailed to me. I've never considered that car a 914/ 928 conversion. It doesn't retain enough of the true 914 function and look. With the streched wheel base I think it looks like a tow truck without the boom. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif) I think they were after a 917 like feel.

Don't do it! Having owned a 928 for 13 years I can say you might get hooked on the "supersonic Vault"
Nothing like 140MPH stereo playing and can still hear it. A/C cranked as you watch everything go by in a blur ahile wrapped in a real solid cocoon.
Damn safe cars.

HEY WHAT YOU NEED IS THE EURO INTAKE FOR THAT BEAST. I got the Euro S spiders intake center section all the CIS injectors and cold start injector. I know there is some kind of bushing you can adapt for for Ford injectors.
Plus there is no hole bored in the center section for the EGR.
