I'd be interested to see cam, piston, valvetrain and spark/fuel delivery method choices for the motor.

Iron.
Two more engines after this one, and everything goes to Nickies.

Nice work Jake! Congratulations Steve! Long time coming.
Thanks, Mark. Patience has paid off (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
I'm really excited about getting this installed. Compared to my current tired engine, I bet power will be at least doubled (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif)

Not sure. Was planning to do some hell hole repair and general engine bay clean-up before installing.

So how about what heads? Are these "off the shelf" units available from the T4 store or some variation?

Off the shelf RS+ from The Type 4 Store.

I have done this combo with LE 200s and made 18+ more HP, but with a loss of torque down low by as much as 15%.

Steve, I have a Raby 2056 in my 912E and love it . The Torque is what makes this combo so enjoyable. I built the engine myself with all Raby parts . I used iron cylinders though. I think Jake sent me a slightly different cam for use with the heavier 912. AL

I have a "Steve" 2056....... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drunk.gif) (with the help of EMW, Hoffman, Raby, and Tangerine) I just finished and am looking forward to getting on a dyno. Very impressed with how strong the motor feels, but am expecting 120-130 at the wheels.

My problem is my daily driver is an E36 M3 and a Jeep with a Hemi V8, so my torque expectations/sense is null on my 912E.... That said, I'm impressed at how strong the motor pulls straight to the indicated 5600 RPM, and great response/midrange torque in 3rd & 4th gear, including a strong 'rolling' response in 4th & 5th gear, and effortless 70MPH.

I'm sure this sounds like abroken record, but I have never driven a 912E or 914 for that matter, though in H.S. Lots of air cooled hot rod VW's, Bugs, 411 (UGLY mobile), Bus, etc.

Will be interesting to see how it goes on the dyno.... And hopefully drive something similar to compare one of these days.


Always exciting to see a new motor build, and these great cars staying alive & competitive.

THANKS to all for your help along the way.

I'll compare to these figures when I bolt my NOS Spanish Weber 44s to my rebuilt modified T4 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

Let me know if you need a helping hand. I am always looking for an excuse to drive, work on 914 then drive some more.

A date has been selected - Saturday, March 5 at a location in South Knoxville. Any 914ers who would like to stop by and make it a party, let me know so there will be enough beer and other goodies to reward you with (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I plan on removing the old engine and cleaning up the engine bay Friday afternoon/evening and doing the new engine install on Saturday. If all goes well, should have plenty of time for some test drives Saturday afternoon (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif)
