So,..If I trim where the yellow lines are I MAY be able to get this to fit the standard way,the car is almost at ground level,

But would my throttle cable be a issue as far as routing,. Thanks

Many guys make a hatch in the firewall on a Porsche 6 to get access to the fan. Would you consider modifying your firewall to make things fit. Even George’s 916 was modified to fit an a/c compressor.

It's 1.5" back on V8 swaps and 1.5" forward on mine, but that's with 914 cvs.

thanks chris914n6,..I think I will be using 911 CV's along with sway away axel's to match they have the ability to float a little bit,I know I can shave the intake tubes and the rubber air intake a little bit and gain maybe 3/4 of a inch .
Mepstein can I cut and then fiberglass the black intake tube to fit the firewall and still get the air volume required to run the engine as intended,...

Well..I stopped the small car cradle build and bought a Coldwater,I should have just did what ChrisH did and save myself, But small car sent me there style and it did not fit around the oil filter then they said use a smaller filter but NO its bent all wrong for a EG33 ,unless they sent me the wrong one which I now will call them,to the point the small car is still just 2 brackets and not a real cradle...

And their mount was sold as the one that fits the EG33? That's strange that it wouldn't fit - maybe they sent you the EJ by mistake?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Frank, is it made out of ABS plastic? Possible to heat it up with a heat gun and reform it for clearance?

You will also most likely have to trim the upper aluminum coolant hose since it was only an inch or two from the firewall on my car. Probably not a huge deal but just FYI.

Well that's the thing...it's an amazing engine but it does take a lot of little tweaks to get it into a 914 and get it running well. Once you get it right though it's really great. Probably the closest thing to an air cooled Porsche 6 there is.

Also you may want to try flipping the intake around the other way. Mine fit much better with the intake pointed towards the passenger side.

Nope my last one was just like that, but I am using a filter adapter, remote mounting filters, accusump, and T-Stat, and that will allow for an oil cooler if I ned one. I thought about bending it on a press brake, but then just went that route. I would say Small car has an issue with QC on that batch. Before you weld it up make sure you have a solution.

I'am kinda doing 2 things reworking my cold air intake to fit against the fire wall and will now do the small car set up but I think I want to cut the ends off of the small car mount shorten it and then reweld the pieces ( because they have bolt holes) then bolt that to a new cross member,.that will also give me more room for the shift rod. ALL of this is to keep my axels in the stock 901 location,I don't want CV and axel issue's on my road trips,.!! that's my plan now could change by tomorrow.
