Had this car for many years...like 20. Never drove it. But it's finally back on the road. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

It's a 73 body, 75 2.0L supercharged 4cylinder engine.

Here are a few pics.

Does the SC2.0 make good power?

Cool! Got any pics of the belt section and how it attaches?

Smart install. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumb3d.gif) But it's screaming for a nice fuel injection setup, IMHO. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)

Hi Thomas,

Have not had it on a Dyno but it's a blast to drive!

Looks like you may have a flared out white 914 also?

Just enjoying the heck out of the car. It's been a long time coming.

I have a bunch of pics during the build of the car (not going to say restoration).

It's a bit of a Frankenstein, but from what I have gathered, it was first built by a speedshop in Fla owned by Jay Richardson back in the 80's. There was an article written up on the supercharged engine years back. A few guys on the forum have heard of him.
Although I never met him, I kind of have been putting the car back together as he may have done back in the day... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

The car may have some track history...when I bought the car there was no interior except a red Recaro Racing Seat. The car was also equip with an ATL fuel cell.

Interestingly there are a lot of 914/6 parts on the car...is front and rear brakes, ignition switch in dash, 914/6 suspension and some other weird tidbits...

I plan to post the complete story behind the car when I have some time to type it up.

I did a SC 2.0 with FI once. Not quite as nice as this maybe. But it did scream. Always had cooling problems though. Thanks to a faulty temp and boost gauge it melted down. But it went down screaming!

Nice work.

So far engine temps have not been an issue.
Installed cyl head temp and oil temp gauges to monitor.

Looks great.

I have a good full scan of the article I will post when I get back to my computer.

I also have one of Jay's old cars that i am bringing back to life. The SC'ed motor from mine is long gone, tho. I so wanted to build one of these with his dual plug Datsun 720 distributor, but decided to go with a 2258 from fat instead

Here is the scan of the article.

I also have pics somewhere of his dual plug setup. I think it's either a modified Datsun 720 distributor with an 009 drive gear, or a modified 009 with some kind of adapter that allows you to use the 720 cap and rotor. IIRC, he sold the complete kit with machined heads, wires, etc.. for ~$800.

Pretty cool stuff. Old school cool.

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/lh6.googleusercontent.com-2075-1374725127.2.JPG)

Somewhat unrelated, but I found this in my fresh air blower when I took my car apart (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

Pretty cool stuff, given the time period.

Thanks for posting the article again Sherman...

The motor has the twin plug setup, but I have it running on 4 plugs...

If you can find it, could you post the pics of the dizzy and twin plug setup. I may want to test that out.

Knew it was out of a Datsun...a pick-up truck or something...

Need to find the distributor, and cap etc...right now it's running on a single coil and a Petronics ignition...
