914-x Time Trial Build Options

[Trackd]

Hi guys

I sold my previous track car and decided to buy a 914.

Key features that sold me on the 914
-old
-light
-rwd
-mid engine

My previous track car was a riot and difficult to class in different organizations. I bought the 914 because it will be easier to class due to the "simplicity" of the build. This will be primarily a track car however it will be street legal with creature comforts.


I am located in WNY, so old classics are scarce and the ones that did survive are on the verge in splitting in half or fully restored. Since I am an older college student, finding one in decent shape will be hard.

I found this guy in California and had it shipped to me.







While the pics looked great, I totally overpaid and it was a rusty bucket with a maco paint job. I bought this from Beverly hills car club and sales guy told me there was no rust and it was a solid car. What a load of of bs... It was also my fault for being naïve and putting faith in humanity. Next time ill go 3rd party and look at it person. Lesson learned. Moving on...

First order of business was to replace all the rust and fab a roll bar.

After I am reusing my old Radium Fuel Cell that contains a FIA bladder and an intern surge tank. I never experienced fuel starvation with setup. I use two walbro 255 lph pumps (redundancy) and a continuous lift pump.

I am using a cheap defroster from jeggs. I 3d printed my vents with a high HDT material so they wont melt.

I also added curved vanes to spread the flow

Easiest engine pull of my life.. Bye bye..

Here is where I might lose some followers. *ahem* I am still a college student working full time so I need a cheap powerful engine. Cheap and powerful may not belong in the same sentence but I just got to make due..

Hello K24

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i.imgur.com-23854-1604569980.13.jpg)

*flame suite on*

Why K24?
-Efi
-Parts everywhere
-Stock HP is low however with mods its known to achieve 240whp with decent torque
-500 hundred dollars on ebay..
-Track reliability (if not right) Meaning proper oil baffling and correct timing. Its very easy to screw up timing.

This will be controlled with a standalone ECU AEM Infinity from my previous car that I parted out.

I started to prep the engine, pulling crap I don't need.

Parts that I used for the swap

- S2000 intake manifold (in retrospect I should of used a RSX type-s intake manifold due its simplicity and correct orientation but to late now)

-S2000 JSP fab intake manifold adapter

-Track tuff coolant adapter

- Rsx Type-s oil pan with two oil baffles to prevent oil starvation

- 80mm throttle body ebay special, to my surprise its quality

- Cheap ebay water coolant adapter that mounts to the head

- I went with Fuel Injector Clinic injectors that are 1000cc (why so large? I may go turbo later, also on the track I will be using e85 for cooler temps)

- KEP adapter to 986 trans 5 speed ( I chose the trans that was closest geared towards the k24 and its cheap)

I inspected the engine and everything looked clean.

That the secondary baffle that prevents oil sloshing up the timing chain cover.

Old IAT sensor location. Bad Idea since it gets heat soaked. So I 3d printed a solution.

Don't worry I am using high temp material CF-PC

KEP Adapter

It fits it ships

Looks like it will fit

And its in

I started to Fab the coolant pipes. I am not an expert in tig welding aluminum.

I didnt want to route the coolant lines underneath since the car is going to be low. Best solution is through the cabin.

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i.imgur.com-23854-1604569981.25.jpg)

I 3d printed mounts that I made that holds coolant lines and fuel lines on top. Its a modular system that I came up with.

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i.imgur.com-23854-1604569981.26.png)

I also 3dprinted a shift knob since Porsche knobs are so expensive... I mean its just a knob....


(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i.imgur.com-23854-1604569982.27.jpg)


I disliked the turn signals and mine were junk.

here's my solution

Turn Signal buckets with two day light running lights and one turn signal led. If there is interest for this I would be happy to 3d print some for the masses.
