Actually, I had this discussion just yesterday with the owner of the local Porsche parts place. A few years ago, he saw a 71 1.7L 914 that had a FACTORY sportomatic. It was owned by Vasily Polak for years. Sat right next to the 917 longtail that bears the number 917 (from the FIA lineup photo). It's the only known factory 4 with a sporto.


The parts were designed and built, and are even listed on the PET CD.

It used a VW automatic Stickshift flex plate on the back of the motor, and a 2 stage oil pump on the front to feed the tranny. He didn't have pix of the assembly, but he did have picts of the complete car.

for those who are interested in tech details of the conversion:
I'm sure Toni would share his knowledge and expirences
I've got his eMail - just PM me when interested
I'm not sure how well his english knowledge is, though

due to the fact that my tech knowledge isn't really good I'd say it's not a good idea that discuss the topic with Toni and translate the result
in this case it would be better if Andy would mail Toni IMHO (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif)

underpressure for the clutch trigger


the clutch is operated by vacuum (underpressure?) so they would need to tap into the manifold and install the solenoid and reservoir somewhere...

with the mention of a "second pump" my guess is they implemented a vacuum pump as is used for power-brake Diesels. if i *had* to do a Sporto /4, i think i'd try to find a way to mount a Sporto pump (also 930 turbo scavenge pump) where an AC compressor isn't...

but yoiu have to *really* love a 914 to put that much time an effort into something that can be had in a 911 or Boxster for less...

Like most 914s, if it starts, it might finish. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

Gustl,

I always look forward to your posts. You are a true 914er.

Thanks for the info.

Tom
BTW
How about another picture of your 914 in the mountains. If I remember you gave us a picture sometime ago on a curvy road with the mountains in the background. I want to file it into my records. It was a beautiful picture. Thanks

Tom, unfortunately I've hardly time to drive my teener this summer ... but I'll look if I can find any older "teener in the mountains pics"
if I remember correctly I have some paper photos which I could scan (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif)

That car is a piece of junk, look at that sail panel vinyl on the drivers side...what a disgrace, they should send it over to me where I'd keep it in a garage, haha. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) Awesome looking cars!
