It just goes to show that you really can turbo charge anything if you work at it. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smash.gif)
Great to have you aboard, looking forward to your progress. So far it looks awesome. You must have deep pockets (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) |

Why does someone have to have deep pockets to build a nice car? I am doing most of the work myself and have found lots of ways to resale parts and help people out in exchange. -Britain |

Sorry didn’t mean to offend (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif) speaking from experience you are completely right in that you don’t have to have deep pockets to build a nice car. Your car looks fabulous, great attention to detail. It’s the detail that makes it look expensive and well thought out. Hats off to you for doing the work yourself. I also do most of my fabrication my self. Saves a lot. |

Britain, do you think the stub pipe between the injectors and the intake riser will cause any problems? I am concerned that not having the injector poking directly into the stream of air flowing into the head might cause problems like poor mixing of air/fuel. Does the spray pattern of the injectors mean that they will be spraying fuel directly onto the stub pipes? I wonder if fuel will collect there? Just thinking out loud, I don't know nothin...

The injectors are in the manifold (I believe they are standard Weber IDF manifolds, maybe IDA) not in the intercooler pipes. And if I'm not mistaken, he had previously had a set of manifolds with the injectors lower, but they ran into the body, and had to be redone, with the injectors higher up. Not ideal, of course, but you have to work within your constraints. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)

Mark is exactly right. I have another set of manifolds that were done with the engine on a stand and when it was installed in the engine bay of my 912 they hit the frame rails. The set on there now (as seen in the picture) have the infector bungs a little higher up and tilted so that they clear the frame rails. I do not think that I will have puddling problems, especially with a turbo. I don't have to worry about airflow as much as the NA guys do...although it is still important.

Beleive it or not, they still point almost directly at the backside of the intake valves. Puddling will not be an issue.
