FS: '74 914 Washington State, 2576 Type IV Turbo Options

[rtalich]

For Sale: 1974 Porsche 914
Hate to do it, but I’ve decided to sell my car mainly due to lack of interest. I simply can’t dedicate the time, effort and (most important) money into this car/project anymore. I’d really like to keep it, drive it… but I have to draw the line at some point and we just have too many other commitments.

A bit of History:
I’ve owned this car for about ten years and it has always been garaged. FWIW, I have previous owner records to prove this car was originally from Arizona so it has VERY little rust. Here’s a list of items I’ve done during the time I’ve owned the car:

No particular order:
• Rebuilt the 2.0 liter stock motor to a 2270 with a Raby kit. Jenvey TB’s and SDS EFI. With Tangerine Racing Exhaust.
• While motor was out, I had both trunks and engine bay Rhino lined.
• Replaced all four brake rotors, calipers, pads with PMB Performance parts and ATE Superblue Brake Fluid.
• 5 Lug upgrade and 16” Phone Dial wheels.
• Stripped interior and lined with Por-15
• Cleaned and reconditioned the fuel tank with Por-15
• Updated fuse panel
• Aluminum pedal board
• Swepco 201 gear lube

Current State of Car:
After I built the 2270 kit I started collecting parts to build a big turbo motor, 2576 to be exact. After about 3-4 years I had all the parts acquired but did not have the time to assemble so I solicited the expertise of Mark of Original Customs to build the beast. Here is a list of components that make up the build:
• Custom machined/clearance GA case. Clearance work done by Jake at Aircooled Technology.
• TDC (Thermal Displacement Coating) Engine case.
• Rotating assembly balanced by Jake at Aircooled Technology
• DPR 82mm Crank
• 9540 Cam
• Revmaster 38mm oil pump, full flow
• 100mm Turbo Nickies
• JE 100mm Piston, dished and coated
• 5.5” Type 1 H-Beam Rods
• Pauter Roller Rockers
• ChroMoly Pushrods
• Custom Billet Taco Plate
• DTM
• Garrett T3/T4 Ball-Bearing Turbo, TDC coated
• TurboSmart BOV
• TurboSmart Boost Tee
• Tial Wastegate
• Turbo prep’d LE 200 Heads
• Custom Exhaust, Tangerine Racing
• Custom intake plenums, M-Spec Racing
• Custom Fuel Rails, Extrudabody
• SDS EFI
• 70mm Ford Throttle body
• Kennedy Stage II clutch with six puck pressure plate
• Custom surround tin, Original Customs
• Setrab oil cooler with fan
• Motor build complete in July of 2012
• Install complete in August of 2013

The car is an absolute blast to drive!

What’s left to do:
While I had no plans of racing the car, it was destined to be my daily driver. So I had plans of installing a water/meth intake injection system to keep the intake temps in check. The car is drivable without this system in place due to the cooler weather we have around here but I wouldn’t push it until some sort of intake cooling system is in place. Like I said… daily driver.

I know that I will never get the amount I put into this car but we all know we are not in the hobby to make money, right. Just the turbo motor alone, in parts, I’ve spent at least $15,000. So, I’d like to sell the whole package for $18,500 $15k.

Thanks for looking. Pictures of the motor build can be found here, http://www.originalcustoms.com/invoice/images.php?p=143.
