As some of you may know already, I picked up an original 914-6 motor and will be replacing my 2.0l 4. on my phoenix red

Attached Image

I know ths s not a big 3.2, but this s a cool upgrade for me.

So far I have located all the extra components to complete this conversion.

Engine tins
headers
muffler - triad
oil cooler
oil tank -Velios with filler neck and dipstick
bell crank for transmission to carbs

I will be looking for the oil lines.

If I am missing anything please give me your expertise.
A picture or oil lines diagram will be helpful.

The first thing i would like to do is bench test it.

As always, all advices are welcome and appreciated

To a catch bottle if you are using carbs or to the filter element of the carbs. If you have the stock air filter set up it connects to it. On a CIS setup it connects to the airbox.

I assume you have the hose that runs from the tank breather connected to the breather on the engine.

I removed the 2.0 on preparation for the six,
I rwmoved the proportionimg valve and replaced it with a T
Place the bulkhead in place.

Next, I will be drilling and welding.


Ooooooo! Don't let Eric see that! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
Did I do something wrong?

IIRC the proportioning valve is there to prevent rear wheel lock-up during heavy braking.
I'm sure Eric will be here soon to explain, but if not, there's a really good thread where he described how it functions.

My guess is you'll have the car back on the road and running by Halloween (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

Don't see why not.

The oil tank kicked my a$&$. It took me aBout 4 hours to install it back with the oil line attached. I had to modify the rocker panel (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) I also managed to complete the installation of the bulkhead motor mount.

Where is that photo and what line is that? It looks like it is going to the front.

It looks like you are not running your bottom line to the "factory oil cooler", are you running a front cooler?

No, this is the driver's side rear fender well, line is facing back going to the engine.

For some reasons my iPhone keeps flipping the pictures when u upload it

This is what the routing of the line from the very bottom of the tank should look like!

I think I would have gone straight down and put a 90 so you can drain your tank without having to touch the oil cooler fitting!

Whatever works for you! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Look like you are using metric fitting. I am using AN. I taught of the idea of not having to remove the line at the cooler to drain the oil but Patrick motorsports afvidef me in the lines and I taught that was the norm. I would not take that thank back out unless necessary.
I will call them to see of there is a coupler that I can use.

I appreciate and welcome all comments and ideas.

Here ia another pic.

Put on a few more hours today.

I replaced the fork seals at the transmission, installed clutch, bearings and attached the transmission,

I also installed the bell crank and get the engine bay ready for a fresh coat of paint.

All the best with your conversion. I completed mine last year. Have an original 914/6 Case rebuilt with 2.2 PC's, E cams, larger valves, weber 40 IDA 3C1's, MSD, stock distributor with points, headers and Leistritz sport muffler. It's a lot of fun to drive! You can see my build thread (bcheney six conversion).

The hardest part of the conversion was the oil lines and things for my 3.0 going in after that it wasn't too bad.
Iam no mechanic so I wouldn't do it again. but it was very satisfying and rewarding.
I found a 2nd gen Mazda rx7 oil cooler is nearly the same demensions as a Porsche front chin oil cooler only a few mm difference and can be found a@ carid.com

I have the same Triad exhaust for my project. Question: as shown in your images of the engine on the stand and the later image as the engine is bolted in, is the exhaust mounted right? Images I see have it the other way around.
Just asking since I am following your project - speedy that it is. and will find myself setting it up too.
