Man i love driving my car, i have about 400 miles of stop and go driving on the kevlar clutch now, i WOT boost in 2nd through 3rd last night and the clutch held tight this was at 11 lbs of boost so i turned it up to 13 and it still held fine on my next run i am going to turn it up to 14.5 now and see how it goes. I will stay out of boost in 4th and 5th for a few more hundred miles just to be safe on the clutch, but things are looking promising so far.

Man, at our altitude and air density 14.5 lbs of boost is a ton! Good to here the clutch is holding.

All is well with the clutch grabbing through 4th, i am reluctant to drop it into 5th until it looks wide open and safe on the highway entrance ramp, i also wish not to lose my license, all i need is about 1/4 mile and i should see top end and slow back down.
I turned the boost up today on the MBC but i have not yet seen where it it's at, bad weather was moving in, earlier today i was hitting 12.5 lbs with the clutch holding, i am shooting for around 14.5 to 15 lbs.
The car makes my short hairs stand up,very exciting......

Out of curiosity, what do you estimate your peak HP to be with 13 lbs. of boost?

Man I am JEALOUS, I admit it freely...

I feel like a kid who just got his license, i drive around come back to the house, sit in the driveway for a few minutes in the car, back out again and drive around some more.

Driving my car is more fun than girls!

If you don't mind me asking, out of curiosity, what would you ballpark figure the cost of taking a stock 3.0 and converting it to the same turbo setup you have. This would include a total rebuild, new P&C, all fuel injection system upgrades, clutch, etc.?

Have I told you I am soooo jealous?

Mine sits on jack stands awaiting its stock 3.0....

Cant be done cheaply, you can save a lot by using used parts in good condition, and fabricating yourself. Difficult for me to estimate the cost to many variables.
The advantage of using 3.0 engine as i did, I had it and it had to come apart, it makes more power and hp than a 3.3, bigger valves and ports, SC cams and crank, and because of the longer stroke rods, spins quicker and freer than a 3.3 engine.
Downside is all of the things you have to add to it, and machine to make it work.
IMO You would be better off looking for a good used 3.3 engine.
This is what i had to do:
3.3 pistons and cylinders/rings from a 91 C2
machine to offset 3.0 rod bushing for stroke.
new bearings
new valves/guides
high performance springs and retainers
twin plug heads
930 oil pump
Supertec head studs
flywheel starter ring
Twinplug distributor
KEP stage 2 pressure plate and throwout bearing
Renegade Kevlar clutch disc
Bosh 044 fuel pump
MSD BTM ignition
7th injector
MSD RPM switch and pressure switch for 7th injector
Complete Intake fuel head and injectors for an 86 Euro 930 Turbo 3.3
fuel accumulator and filter
K27 Turbo
scavenge pump
Tial wastegate
Tial BOV, although the 930's BOV would work if intake is fabricated to do so
Intercooler
fabrication of exhaust and intake pipes with assorted silicone pipe connectors.
LSD transmission
And big brakes to stop the thing......

You can use your stock 3.0 by adding the 7th injector adding the MSD BTM electronic
ignition and running no more than 8 to 9 lbs of boost short duration, or 6.
Then all you would need are the Wastegate, Bov, intercooler, Turbo and fabrication
for it all to work, I originally started out on this endeavor using parts from and old BAE turbo kit. This can be done for under 4,000. All worked very well until the oil pump seized which had nothing to do with the engine being turbocharged.

I think if you add up the $'s yourself you can see why a 930 3.3 engine or turbocharging the stock 3.0 without adding all of the stuff i did would be the way to go. At 8to1 compression running 8lbs of boost the engine will make up to 350hp.

Three things:
1) You can't turbo a 914
2) it looked better in black and red two tone

Oh wait that's only two.

That's great, glad the clutch solved the slipping issue. Can't wait till the turbo is in our car. Still waiting for parts. Seems to be recurring theme with my 914's, ttrach destruction and the new one make us wait, Given a choice of the two I will take the waiting.

Keep driving it and enjoying it, season end is approaching fast.
