As an engineer I love all the FI and the modern air cooled swaps.

But . . . the triple carbs just resonate with my soul. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Like others have already mentioned: "originally" a 1.8.
Unlike others, there was a bit of cutting...

Awesome, thanks!

Beautiful.

Need a low profile breather can to drain to oil intake.
I see no oil residue in translucent lines. My head vents are connected together

Very clean install, great job. Where does the outlet hose from your catch can go to?

not as eye popping as the two previous 6s but stock has its place too.

Pbanders, have you run a vacuum gauge while driving? My numbers are quite a bit different and was curious about that. 17-18 at idle warm, dragging down a hill, 23ish is common. Decel works great, full open by 18.5....

My engine bay looks like a 50 year old car. Yours looks brand new.

You can see my copper foil on the oil pressure sender, the extra ground to the shroud in yellow, and the cht sender wire being all ugly. Otherwise stock. And my aav bypass valve for troubleshooting. And the t for the in dash vacuum gauge

I don't have a gauge, our numbers look reasonably similar to me. Will do a temporary gauge and check it out.

Is your fuel evaporation system present? Looks like you have the fresh air supply for it plumbed to your flashback trap.

Looks like a 73 throttle body, as you have the vacuum advance port.

What's the yellow two conductor wire at the bottom of the pic for?

Is that a fuel pressure gauge in the lower left corner?

It would be nice to know about the vac.

I believe I have it all going correctly. Counter clockwise I have decel, EVAP, aav, then pcv (fresh air in to the flashback trap). Are the ports on the air cleaner different?
The ugly yellow is for the cht gauge.

And yes, fuel pressure gauge a very helpful addition.

OK, I see what you're doing. You have it (CCW) Decel/Evap/AAR/Flashback. It's normally Decel/Flashback/AAR/Evap. Putting the Evap where you have it makes it cross in front of the engine fan, probably OK but not as Porsche did it.

As you have your Decel in place, but it's not visible in the pic, which port are you running that hose from the airbox to? The port on the end, or the port on the side? You may not be aware of this, but most of the hose diagrams are wrong when it comes to the Decel valve connections. Vacuum should be connected to the 5 mm control port (the one with the thread and nut) and to the 9 mm port on the opposite end, and fresh air from the air box should be connected to the 9 mm port on the side. Most diagrams have the connections to the two 9 mm ports reversed. If you connect it that way, the valve cannot work, because there's vacuum on both sides of the internal diaphragm, and it never moves, no matter what the vacuum is in the intake plenum.

A different view!

I'll throw this in here - took it recently while working through the oil pressure gauge block install. Don't judge that too harshly - work in progress. 74 2.0

Mixin it up with some stock goodness

It all fits without cutting.....

Clay, what an I looking at here?

That is a 4.0L 964 motor in a 914. LN Engineering Cylinders, JE Pistons, Pauter Rods, 993RS spec cams, and a Steve Wong Motronic chip. All tied to the ground through a cable shifted Cayman 6 speed.

That picture was taken right after I put the motor in the car.

Interesting! When I get back to the states I will double check that! It's been a while so I can't remember if I just followed the diagram or used common sense.

Nice to know about the EVAP. I plumbed that based on the length of hose available. Figured there was a reason for all of that hose but I guess it could have been messed with.

Just to be clear. Vacuum goes to the small port facing the passenger, that is what I have for sure. And vacuum also to the posterior port facing the rear of the car? Wouldn't that create vacuum on both sides? I don't really know what the construction of the valve looks like internally but it just feels like it would...
