Nice to see there is a good contingent of 914's in Minnesota! (a fellow MN native now in SC-(New Ulm)) - so i wanted to ask you, where do you go from Minnetonka to run that thing out ?

just finished reading thru this whole thread! nice documentation- and awesome
car (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) that had to be hard to wait so long , but worth it!

Have to be very careful and pick my spots.

Boost ran up just a hair past 15 today, adjusting it back now, hopefully a 1/2 lb, that's where i will leave it.

I just picked up the hoods and engine lid, so more parts continue to go on.

I did the Brad Mayeur outers and the Engman inners...

My car kinda scares me....sure got my heart pumping tonight. I wanted to check the boost pressure but had my hands full and didn't dare take my eyes off the road. I am sure in time i will get used to it but right now i am uncomfortable, I sure would hate to crash into something accelerating like this.

It's just a matter of time before something breaks. Axle, CV, or transmission. The other day the air was heavy and cool i had the engine heated up. I found a nice long highway entrance ramp clear so i rolled into boost in 2nd gear - when i threw it into 3rd, the front end lifted enough to get very light, i held on and shifted it into 4th and let up as i was shifting into 5th when i reached the end of the ramp onto the Highway.
I was surprised the tires didn't spin when i hit 3rd i was close to a wheelie, i've never had the car lunge up that high before, it always lunges but not like that, the ramp was pretty flat not uphill.
So i am worried i will be stranded somewhere, something will break i am surprised it hasn't, i know i will have beef up the axles, CV's and transmission.

The blowoff valve releasing the pressure in between gears and the turbo all spooled up hitting it hard when the throttle opens again is really something i wish all of you could experience.

Maybe a cutdown G50 is in your future? They are supposed to handle 330HP.

Supposedly, anyway.

I have my Carrera up to 262 at the flywheel, or at least that is what the charts and gauges said.

It handles my 3.2 fine. I want a 914 that lifts the front end in 3rd!

maybe you should lengthen the throttle cable and remove wot til you're comfortable or turn the boost down a bit more. sounds like it's a handful.

I will have to throw some $'s into it and and make it right. I knew going in that the transmission and drive train was going to need some upgrading but it has to wait until i am done doing the remodeling work on the house.

Was a beautiful day at the car and coffee at the Automotorplex on Saturday. Ollie and i had a great time. Huge turnout of cars and people the most i've ever seen there. The most often comment on my car was Bad ASS!

Chap, stop turning down the hp/Tq. on your marvelous machine as a safety compensator.
If you are still running a 901 box, you will eventually throw an axle and destroy a lot of real estate under your car.The 915 set up with 930 cvs and sway away axles will be adequate for sustained 20 psi boost, there are even 930 boxes that can fit our 914s.
I shift up at 158 mph from 4 to 5th at 20 psi with a 916 box, and all I need is a therapist.

Better late than never, congratulations for an awesome project. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)
Having put a turbo on my own 914 some 30 odd years ago, I appreciate your achievement.
For me a 915 tranny was a must. Still, at 2 bar boost on bumpy tracks, the teeth would strip off 3rd gear. Well-used 930 CV joints held up, while new ones would seize during the first race.
I can still hear the waste gate blowing during up-shifts. Fond memories! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon12.gif)
