Do you have a picture of where your transponder is mounted?
Do you have the correct transponder to match the numbers in your logbook? This is a hot topic with the T&S people these days. |

QUOTE(naro914 @ Mar 11 2019, 10:28 AM) Transponder Bob, Thanks for making sure the transponder is correct and working. At Sebring this year, 1/3 of the transponders came up unresolved. This caused havoc with the timing and scoring staff all weekend. Clay |

Clay Well I don't know if it 'works'...green light comes on and never had a problem with it before. Sebring is always the worst - first race, lots of winter work on cars, drivers with new cars...especially the cup guys that just 'arrive and drive' and nobody pays attention to transponders. |

Once again, a bit negligent on posting updates. Been a busy few weeks.
OK, where were we? Oh yeah wiring. Got what we could, done, before we made the trek up to Dawe's Motorsport Development in Stroudsburg, PA to get the engine and transmission installed. Here are a few pictures of the interior and with all the body panels before loading to head North.       |

At Dawe's we installed the engine and transmission.
We have a 915 trans with Vellios side shift conversion. Anyone that has had a Vellios knows they can be a bit tricky to adjust correctly. Peter Dawe's has a 'cut out' 915 housing so he can see inside while activating the internal mechanisms. you installed the entire unit in the car and go through the gears while he watches to see clearances and interference points. Make adjustments, try again, until everything shifts smoothly. Then re-install into your own case. Very slick...    |

Then on to the dyno.
I'll post video up when I get a chance. Not much to see...more to hear. but here's the dyno sheet. Might be hard to read: 325 whp 279 tq (we did see 285 on one pull) Not bad...  |

I'll bet that you will see higher numbers on a Dynojet 248c ...but that engine will haul the mail (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) Beautiful restoration and upgrade work as well (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) |

Uh.. Bob...
Your transmission has a hell of an oil leak.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/post-6073-1554905600.jpg) |

QUOTE(naro914 @ Feb 25 2019, 07:12 AM) QUOTE(vintage914racer @ Feb 24 2019, 10:35 PM) Curious if you have any shots of the chassis tears? I have one that I need to take care of on my track car and was hoping to see how yours was repaired. The only one I have a picture of from this work was kinda odd...it was the little section around the engine area on the drivers side that really isn't structural, more just holds the engine tray gasket. It was cracking off. We just welded it back on. (picture is tough to figure out where it is) Previously, we've cracked the rear suspension points (which is why we went with Tangerine Racing raised rear mounts), Front control arm points (which is why there are forward bars in the front trunk area) and areas around the rear wheel wells, which got extra stiffening. Thanks much for sharing. I need to replace the passenger rear suspension console on my track care , but I’m having issues finding someone local-ish with the skills and desire to do so. |

What's the component on stand-offs from the valve cover? Looks to be part of the oil system, but what does it do?

It allows there to be a small reserve of oil right at the engine oil inlet so it doesn't starve under hard right hand high G loads. Since most tracks run clockwise, you end up with way more times the oil is trying to move away from the engine. In a 911, the oil is being forced INTO the engine during those turns because the tank and feed are on the right. But flipping it around in a 914, you could end up with oil starvation. Dawe's developed this many years ago after finding high HP/high grip 914's were getting oil starvation on long right hand high G turns. It's actually baffled inside too. |
