Amazing creativity and comradery here on the 914world site.
I was hoping for the same with my 997, but nope.

You guys are inspiring me to get back to work on my 914 projects again.

Keep at it!

This is the absolute best car site ever. I have had many 911's and no site (for them) comes close. My Six would not even exist without this site for parts, resources and encouragement. I can't imagine ever selling my car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I also think its because most of us work on our cars and or restore them. If you can afford a 911 you can usually afford to take it to a shop. A lot of the water cooled Porsche enthusiasts i run into are concourse weenies and sit around and talk about new Porsche's and all the various options available on them. I hang around them at cars & coffee. Really nice people, but I don't have much in common with them. It's also the OC! They drive a different Porsche to Cars & Coffee every Saturday.

I appreciate the feedback on my threads. I don't care if it gets off track. The goal is to learn from each other and our mistakes.

Slowly but surely. Wired up Alternator and mounted fan, housing, etc. Also connected up the spark plugs and coils with PMS mount. Next steps fuel injection and wiring harness. So dumb.. I should have labeled all of the plugs, but I did take lots of pictures and I have the factory manuals and parts diagrams.

Pro tip, if you mount the coils upside down on that mount, the center plug wires aren't such a tight fit.

Thanks @SirAndy !! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) I will flip it tonight. I was just following the pictures on the PMS Web Site. They do reach, but they are tight. Probably not good on the wires with motor vibrations.

Not much progress. Caught Covid, dog ate my homework, etc.
I did get the injectors installed on one side and then I noticed cracks in the plastic intake manifolds. I ordered six more. I had the injectors cleaned and tested. I also somehow lost or misplaced the 9 pressure plate bolts and some of the intake screws, so I also had to order that stuff. Little by little..

They always crack. Luckily they are pretty cheap.

Something else I read on Pelican. If the 3.6 came out of a Tiptronic car, you have to cut a wire on the ECU to tell it to run in Manual mode.

Nice detail. Seems like there are several hot rods in progress at the same time here.

Plumbed the idle control valve into the new PMS 3.2 elbow. Blocked off extra vacuum lines. Added the distributor breather to Mickey Mouse heat exchanger ears. Also added another fitting for the charcoal canister. Next steps is the tin. This thing is a pain compared to installing a 3.2, but I know it will be worth it in the end.

@sirandy @clayperrine did you have to cut the rib on the intake manifold to point the throttle body straight back like prs9146 to clear the engine lid?

@Steve
Yes, i did. I removed the bridge so you can rotate the two pieces independently.

You can sort of see where it all ended up here:
