After ump-teen years my 914 3.0 six conversion runs!
Major milestone, just tripled the value with a turn of the key. Sounds real healthy, can't beat that /6 sound! Still lots of electrical gremlins to work through and it looks like my timing light took a crap half way through break-in. Oh well....that's somewhat expected. Biggest issue is it looks like my alt/reg isn't charging. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) But I got to drive around the block. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Who cares about the little things...... it's alive!!!!

Hi Mark,
Congrats on getting the 914 up and running.. I know you only drove it a short time but how did you like the gear ratios behind the 3.0? Keep up the great work.. |

Going to have to pull the alt...no charging. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Oh well, good thing I put a big hatch in. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Hi Mark, Congrats on getting the 914 up and running.. I know you only drove it a short time but how did you like the gear ratios behind the 3.0? Keep up the great work.. Just did 20km (12.5 miles), 5th is HA flipped 90mph = 3000rpm Gearing seems OK, but I'd have to put more miles on before I can really say. Gearing is A, F, O, X, HA (flipped). |

We need a shit eating grin smiley (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Going to have to pull the alt...no charging. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) I had to drop the engine AGAIN to deal with the alt that I fried by an instantaneous reverse polarity touch of the battery wires.....Hmmmm why that spark? Hope your hatch is big enough and your back has the stamina! |
