It's been a long time coming but look what came in the mail the other day. Thanks Mark!!! Original Customs rocks!!!!

nice mock up, I cant wait to see the execution , looks great

Umm... That's not a mock up. Here are more pics

Another pic.........

And another.......

wow!!! are you going to coat the piping?

so at what rpm does the turbo kick in?

what mm jugs you got?

how much boost you plan on running? I assume 914 jugs can only take so much B.

forged pistons?

h rods?

what octane will it need?

she will need an oil cooler for sure? ** never mind, i see the fan that is cooling stock oil cooler, nice placement : )

all the best, she looks lovely : )

jim

Looks like it will kick ass!
Way to go.

But a flat fan and a remote (no stock) oil cooler would have been cooler, I'm just sayin'.

The piping is coated.

So is that a 2270 TURBOED Raby engine per your signature line...? This is getting out of hand people...might as well not even say "the phrase" any more.

Looks awesome. Love the upright fan shroud.

Does that fit in the engine bay? It looks so tall! The exhaust come off the turbo and routes how...right by the battery or does the battery get moved?

Tested that already. Needs a GT lid, but it works.

Wait, I thought you couldn't turbo a 914..

Never say never!

Never ...

seems like tig is a must for fabbing exhaust.

You can't Turbo a 914

It is not absolutely necessary. I once built a headers that came out pretty nice with a MIG. That said, I've done a few more with a TIG which were much nicer. If you are very good with a MIG and have never used a TIG the MIG exhaust will probably look better!


The turbo install looks pretty nice! I'm interested to see it running.

Kudos and good luck

This is pretty awesome!

Cant wait to see her run!

I saw this at Original Customs. It is in even cleaner looking than the pictures show... I said OMG! Mark kept this secret for a long time... Nice work!

that is smokin hot, super sexy, triple x car porn at its finest! oof dah!

Here's a bit more information of whats actually in the motor. More pics of the build can be found on OriginalCustoms.com.

Decked and Clearanced Engine Case with Thermal Displacement Coating
9540 Cam
100mm Turbo Nickies
5.5" Type1 Rods
JE 100mm Pistons
DPR 82mm Crank
Pauter Roller Rockers
LE-200 Heads
Custom Tangerine Turbo Header/Exhaust System
DTM Cooling
Custom Surround Tins

That looks great. Any idea what it puts out?

Are the roller rockers in there the same idea/concept/part as the roller cam + lifters?
I was watching TIV guru guy develop and test that w great interest but they seem to be restricted to his custom TIV builds only.

McMark is forcefully inducing 914world to stop blowing hot air, cooling us back to reality and boosting new inspirations w his work

PLEASE drive this turbo project for a while before trying to blow it up!

What is a "Turbo" Nickie?

NICE

is that oil cooler fan part of the DTM set-up?

Not sure... but hoping to get at least 300hp



The part that is in contact with the top of the valve is a roller. It still uses conventional tappets. The roller cam idea/concept is totally different and does not use conventional tappets.

I hope to make this motor last as long as possible!!



The cylinder walls are probably (at least) twice as thick as a normal Nickie cylinder. More sealing surface.

Porn!

It's a custom one-off piece I made. Normally you don't run a stock oil cooler with the dtm.

So these are the newest Pauter rockers with oiling reliefs?
Were they necessary to achieve a desired geometry or just a cool bonus?

No. They don't have the oiling passages. Basically just a cool bonus and it sure is too bad all the cool looking stuff gets covered up!!

Aren't those the rockers that Raby kept breaking after a couple of thousand miles?

I'd hate to see that motor go boom.

Looks good!! Nice job Mark!!

2 years since last bump on the thread...what gives? :0

What a coincidence. I just took it for a spin around the block. I have not had time to work on it much, obviously. A little update since the last post. I added a PMS oil cooler up front. Removed the stock cooler as I think that was the source of my oiling troubles. Now it is in dire need of a dyno tune. I'm thinking of going to MS... jury still out.

What gives?

NONE of that shit is real.
Quit paying veerky to photo chop pics and stop fuch(s)ing w/our heads... GOOD DAY TO YOU SIR.

Dyno tune and get out to drive with your local teeners.

Everyone wants to see her run and make those 6 conversions look slow.
