well the 914 moved on its own power tonight, made 2 laps around the storage lot, about 250 yards down each side. as of right now i did not have either the fire wall shift bushing in ( could not get it in need to pull rod ) or the shift bushing at the tranny ( forgot to put it in ). so i put her in third, because i could not get second or first. and the throttle cable hook up is temp. but she moved out in 3 ok just a slugish at low rpms. but on the second lap i came around the corner at about 20 mph, and stepped on it, at about 35 or so mph it came on to the torque and launched. i would say in 150 yards it got up to 60 to 70 mph ( did not look ) in about 3 seconds. the excelleration reminds me of an early 90 rx7 TT i drove once. the torque just pulled smooth as heck till i had to let off of it. i would say its 3 times as fast as the 1.8 that it had in it.

i also found out after 18 months i need to bled the brakes

tomarrow i will button up the throttle cable, modify the exhaust hanger, fix the shifter issues, and some other stuff

Congrats, Scott. I very much look forward to reports on how well the cooling system works out. I'm 90% convinced to (nearly) duplicate your setup.

Congratulations (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif) I can't wait to do the bodywork on my car so I can get the Suby engine I've had sitting for a year in. It's a different model but I'm sure I'll run into some of the same problems you did, like flipping the intake manifold around, etc. Keep up the good work!

well, that might be more than i needed to know (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/unsure.gif) but i'm glad to hear that you seem to have no trouble with the crapping. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)
