Sorry- If I was home I could look at what my most recent combo is. I know I have f7 tubes, I think 32mm vents, 120 mains, 50 idles, and 215 correctors. I've got a 2 liter high compresion motor, webcam and 40ides. I recently replaced my short short intakes with some longer ones and added v stacks. Moved torque almost 1000 rpm lower which I like for daily use. I'll check my notes at home and let you know what I have tried.

When you say short intake with velocity stacks ? What would short...I have a 2.0L with 44's on it..2" velocity stacks K&N filters and my set-up fits under the rain tray...the intakes are about 6" tall

Would polishing the inside of the intake do anything..they look like cast aluminum and have casting marks which might disrupt air flow..


Any thoughts

Hey Scott- (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) -give me some info--I am putting alum wheel adapters on my ride and do not have a clue as to a good torque for them--would you, if you have one, look in your 944 manual and see what the factory torques are for the front hub adapters, where they bolt to the disc and the tq for your wheel bolts--I cannot remember what mine were--THX

Pix of the car with sus. and wheels sittin on the ground by tomorrow night or sunday--

I just got back my cookie cutters from the wheel repair place--they straightened them, blasted, polished the lip back and painted the centers a charcoal grey---way kool looking!! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif) no center caps tho--you would not have a spare set laying around would you???

And I got my new fuzion hri's mounted and balanced about an hour ago--they are bad ass!! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/aktion035.gif)

I'm going to my friends tomorrow who is THE 944 guru and I'll check with him I have never actually gotten a book since I had a better source in him. 25 years of doing nothing but Porsche and specialized in 944 & 928. He's freekin scary sometimes with his knowledge.

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) Thanks Scott---

David--I would not polish the intake tract at all--that roughness actually helps to keep the fuel in a suspended atomized state--the only grinding I would do is match the holes up to even---like where it bolts to the head and where the carbs bolt to them--so as there are no lips of metal actually sticking out and fouling the flow--

The short intake manifolds are really short--the carbs base area is almost even with the engine tin

Thanks for the info. I guess my intakes are just going to have to do...

What were you wanting to do specifically???

[Brett W]

You must press the throttle shafts out and then press out the bearings. A seal housing must be machined into the carb body around the throttle shafts holes. Then a seal must be installed and re-install the carbs.

I would call Art Thrasen @ AirCooled Engineering. He is the carb man. Dellortos have can take boost out right though so might be a thought.

Why not just megasquirt it and then run a regular custom plenum.
