The dimensions will be narrower in width as we are making
our own spec turbo exhaust , that will hug the block.
The lower portion of the engine will be approx 9" shorter than stock (for ground clearence ), by using
a spec cnc. billet oil pan. The oe Cayenne /panamera pan is way too low in stock form
to go into a 914. Final mounting will be our signature Msds motor mount, which can be made
available in our parts catalogue for additional conversions.
Marty

Love the dash. Would love to buy one if they go into production. How heavy is it compared to the OEM dash?

The CF dash can be lifted with a pinky finger! The OEM one, not so much. I haven't had a change to weigh the dashes yet, but I'll comment back on that as soon as I can.
Thanks,

Wasn't someone on here looking to make a production run?

heard someone got a neighbourhood kid to help out????
maybe 2 months ago. haven't seen anything since then.

That was Ruby914. I'm not sure if it's gone anywhere since then.

hello

how much did you pay sheridan kit ?


thanks erwan

Erwan,
I recall the price was just north of $3,000 for all of the parts in the picture.
You can check the products out at Sheridan914.
Roger is a go-to guy for our 914s !
Marty

The new cnc aluminum oil pan , now 100% dry sump and a boatload of ground clearance compared to the oe Cayenne pan.
I wonder of this is what Porsche calls their new 4.6 "Flatcrank" engine design in the upcoming 918?

Nice work on that pan.

Thank you Rick !

Just enough room in the edge (left +right )of the oil pan "Rail" for the #12 an turbo oil drains.Click to view attachment

.... I am totally at loss for words... this project is IMPRESSIVE!!

In my next life, I want to be a real builder... have no idea how many of you pull incredible stuff in this site!!

...not worthy!!

I can barely get my inside light to work!!

Awesome project!

> Porsche 996 GT2 Transmission

Do you have the basic dimensions of this transmission? Or anyone know where to find them?

- Overall length and width?
- Distance from bell housing to center of axle output flanges?
- Distance between output flanges?

Thanks - I have a new project I'm working on too...

-Steve

Next time I have the trans out in the work area, I will make some measurements and
post up !
Marty

Done, and # 12 a/n turbo oil drains in place.
Black fittings...other one on opposite side.
Pistons and rods coming in early August.

Update:

The Haltech Platinum Series Sport 2000 came in today. This ECU is a complete a la carte set up.



Everything that came in was perfectly packaged.



Not to mention everything is already pre - labeled!





GPS Certified MPH / KPH



The Haltech IQ3 Logging Dash w/ SD Card for saving everything.

Pity there isn't a like button for that Haltech. They are a great system. I have two sprint ecu's and put a sport 1000 in a mates car
Shaping up to be a great build

I love it--they even have wires to shock the Dreaded Previous Owner! (DPO wire.)

Dave...DPO, that is so true
The previous owner of our project car had aftermarket Clifford alarm and DPD aircon wires running all through this chassis. We sent the entire harness to Jeff for his inventory. The Haltec harness gives us a good head start on wiring up the management system. I'm looking at a basic race car wiring set-up from Painless...do you have any experience with that Co. ?
Marty

Not I, sorry. It would be interesting to see how their stuff meshes with the 914's systems layout, though.

--DD

Marty: I did a Scout II with painless. Nothing is painless as it is still wireing a hole car, But thier system worked good and I never blew a fuse and every thing turned back on.

I hear you Joe, I'll buy the basic hot rod Painless kit. There are only about 10 functions that I need to power up, besides the basic ignition, B+, alternator and neg-.
No creature comforts . L+R turn signals will be a toggle switch Since this car will also be street registered , just to show up at an occasional cruise-in. I will be spending time with my Weller solder gun for sure !
Marty

Hello World,

Here is a BIG update that we're very happy to share with you all. This has been several months in the works, and have finally arrived. Forgeline Motorsports set us up with a set of their GT Style Centerlock Long Nose adapters. They are Carrera GT inspired, red per the driver side, blue per the passenger side.

For your reference: (apologies for the grainy cell phone picks)

Pretty! How will this last in the real world?

Just fine, These are some of the best built wheels know to man. The quality I am sure carries over these adapters.

Keep you the great work, subscribed.

Please tell me you will be running those brakes as well...

Those are beautiful.

MMMMMmmmmmmmmmm.......Pure Pornche!!

Carbon Ceramic disk brakes aren't the go to race track abused rotors. Many gt3 / rs / cup guys swap out their carbon ceramic rotors for steelies, yet retain the oem Porsche (yellow) caliper. In any case, we're going with a steel based big brake kit set - up.

The Forgeline wheels and centerlocks should hold up fine long term. Its really just one BIG nut instead of five smaller ones.

Not much different than the factory setup except the Forgeline package is lighter than its German counterpart sans the titanium nut. Some extra parts I have laying around.

Starting the boy off right Marty! Nice project. See what Mulholland does to people?

Marty,

Any special coating for the pistons?

Very nice!

I'll be weighing in on this with the engine builder this week. We have several heat dissipating things going on in the engine; piston oil squirters , specific forced-induction forged pistons, and lots of external oil cooling.
I am a fan of ceramic coated piston tops + valve faces.

^^ Ummmmmm isn't the heat bad? going to warp and distort the metal?

I used a multi tool with a scraper tip worker great before heading to media blasting.

Snowman, it is all in the " Time on target" and experienced torch skills. It works for us.
Marty

Sorry these are all out of order, consider this a photo dump of the car's latest condition.
The car is back from the blaster, and will now be seam welded and the strengthening kit will be welded on as well leading to the roll cage.

Budget build huh?

My philosophy is "Built not bought" so although some of these procured parts are pricey, I'm still ahead with my dollars by putting it all together. Anyone want to guesstimate what Ruf, Singer or Patrick would roll one of these out of their shops for ?!!
And then there is the fun factor of that first push on the start button + waking this monster up
Marty

The people/companies you mention do nice work and I'm sure it would be multiples of what it's costing you. But none of those guys seem to really hang out in the 914 crowd so they typically don't have builds that interest me.

Flagship...
