Hi all,

I live in Hawaii on the north shore of Oahu. I have been putting together a six conversion for the last few years.

My 14/6 runs pretty well except that I just can't seem to get the idle smoothed out. It idles ok for a few minutes then drops low and stumbles then comes back. I have been following "my 3.2l idles poorly, hunts, stumbles" threads here and on Pelican and trying one thing and another without success.

I need to find some porsche guys here in Hawaii that can listen,look and talk over the car with me. I have dropped a line to the local PCA pres, but thought I would try here also, as much of the technical info I have needed to build the car came from here.

If anyone knows a porsche head here in Hawaii, please let me know.

Thanks Mark Robinson

Hey Mark, I dunno if anyone around here is from there, but good luck with your motor, vac leaks?

AND NO! WE ARE NOT DRIVING TO HAWAII TO HELP YOU!!

Hey don't be so hasty.

If you've got the talent I have the tools and a nice place you can stay out near Wiamea Bay.

best Mark

really sorry i cant drive there, lets see something between 40 to 60 hours if i could maintain 60 mph of driving through salt water, my car would rust away

at least i would not have to stop for piss breaks

Hey Mark, I know a 914 guy on Oahu and he said he became a member of this club but I don't know his screen name. I know his real name and email addy. I'd rather contact him first & ask if he'd mind my giving you his email address. Send me your email, I'll forward it to him. I alsodon't know how much he knows but..... you never know

You can try this guy he will point you in the right direction. I bought a turbo kit from him last year.

Good luck

Mark, I just PM'ed to you contact information for him.

Mark, I heard back from Charlie in Oahu.
Here's what he had to say;

The guy he should hook up with is Tim Knight at Knightwerks (808) 597-1101, he's the best I've found on Oahu. Have him call to set up an appointment.

If it is engine problems in particular I would recommend going to T-Bug. They re-jetted my webbers and installed my rebuilt transmission. Knightwerks is good for general stuff but T-Bug are better tuners for VW motors.

I'm sending you a PM with Charlis email address.

Hope this helps....

I tried making an internet map to Hawaii, and it keeps giving me a map to LAX..



I can drive to California, and the Club can take up donations to send me to Hawaii.
