So - uh- anyone want a 1.7? Make me an offer. Check the stats....

Euro P&Cs (pretty sure - compression is too high for the 72hp motor. Compression is down on one cylinder - not sure why.
Melling high volume oil pump
Lightened flywheel
Tunacan deep sump
High pressure oil piston thing-os installed.
Pertonix electronic ignition
Bosch blue coil.
Starter motor (no tranny - keeping that)
Optional Megasquirt FI. If you want the MS - supply me with a wiring harness and you can take the on on the engine - I need the relay board plugs for my project.
D-jet Brain (optional)
injectors, runners, potentiometer throttle sensor for smart FI (not D-jet)
heat exchangers aren't worth much.

All the fancy stuff is not more than 2 years old and has not done a lot of miles, although some of those miles have been track and AX time.

If you want to exchange stuff - I need:
5 lug conversion - (I want A-calipers for the front)
5 lug wheels (theres a set of 4 lug Mahles here for exchange or someone to buy).

I scored the pallets from work - they orignally had IBM AIX servers on them! lol.

They are very stable and will hold the car up if you want to punish them. I found that out by accident :-)

If you can hang on a couple of weeks - I would rather shift the whole blob in one go - but if theres no interest in that I will happily part it out.

No hurry on my part. I'm in the collecting parts phase of my rebuild.

Let me know.

I did a bunch more work on the wiring last night.

The Megasquirt now has inputs and control for:
* Spark
* Crank position (via EDIS) and Tach (consequently)
* Injectors
* Throttle position
* Coolant Temperature

This means it's seriously close to being runnable :-)

I have a workable strategy for building a pretty sophisticated boost controller - more on that later!

If anyone is interested in getting crankfire (EDIS) going with a T-IV motor - I have a set of plug wires that would probably work for it... I had to by two sets of Ford Escort plug wires so that I would have 4 long wires, so I have a set of shorter ones that would likely be more suited to a T-IV application.

I test drove a Subaru Legacy GT today (2.5 turbo) - which supposedly puts out slightly less than the engine going in my 914. That thing is a work of art. I managed to get to 80mph by mistake on quite a few backroads around South San Francisco. This thing is going to be a scream.

The latest update on the car is that I have just about finished cutting up the front trunk for the radiator addition.

More pics soon.

I put the engine under the car today. Seems to fit like a glove - although I have kissed goodbye to the idea of getting very much stuff in my rear trunk.

Heres the front trunk. I am aiming to mount the radiator about where it is. The radiator is from a 1991 VW Golf (IIRC).

Yummy 911 front struts with 5 lug hubs and A calipers. In the background you can see my new toolchest (home despot special... they sold it to me for a discount because the keys were missing. I found the keys at the checkout, zip-tied to the handle with a security tag (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) )

I am in the middle of rebuilding my transmission. This has gotten new synchros on 1, 2, and 3, and new dog teeth on 1 and 2. I think the sliders are okay. I don't really want to spend too much cash on this right now until I figure out weather I need a 915 (argh - wallet pain).

Made the motor mount bar today.

There are issues with the plates that the bar bolts up to - they arenb't strong enough to hold this thing at the right angle - so the next job is to re-enforce those.
