Thanks I made that filler neck can't have a motor by Jake with a plastic filler ya know cool.gif
Jake Raby
Thanks guys!!

Thats the "Original Annihilator".... She should be good for around 180 ponies of 2316cc.

It's on the dyno as we speak warming up, getting ready for a thrashin...

Gotta ask...how much$$??? biggrin.gif
spunone
50 thousand but thats with out headers ..... April Fools not that much really for what you get.If your serious just ask Jake he aint shy happy11.gif

If you have to ask, you don't want to know the price. :-)

But for a ballpark idea, go to Jake's web site and price a kit, price carbs, and then imagine what labor and dyno testing would cost.
Jake Raby
Pricing a kit is not a good judge...

The kit isn't custom.

An engine like this is around a 10K expenditure hot off the dyno and 100% ready to install..

Now that we are only using FI for all engines the price increased to about 11,500.00-12K

BTW- Teener owners are the only ones that ever ask me prices before I tell them in my phone conversations....

whats very cool about this particular engine is that spunone sells some stuff to my main competitor and that person offered to build his engine.... Even though they are pretty much neighbors and the other guy would have done it cheaper spunone still sent it 2350 miles across country to me!

For that he got a few extra tricks not on the invoice!

there you go again Jake Dissin teener heads, Probably no one is making judgment calls on the worth just whether its in thier reach. rolleyes.gif


spunone
Hae aint dissin just making a statment ya gotta love us 914 guys and yes what Jake said is true .You have to feel good about somebody before you give them your hard earned Green and thats why Dr. Raby built my Motor.Nuff said Thanks pray.gif
Jake Raby
Over time the prices will drop on the FI and we have it pretty cheap if you compare to the only other full system from Weber thats 3700 bucks.

With the FI the throttle bodies cost as much as what a set of 44mm carbs used to cost, but now they are double that IF you can find them..

I wasn't dissin the 914 group, just stating the fact that as a general rule this group is the most money minded of all those I deal with... Nuttin wrong with that, just an observation that I have come to.

The reasoning I came up with is that the "other" items needed to get a teener up on the road is a bit more than the stuff the other guys may experience and if they are rebuilding a complete car that makes a difference on what they can spend on a power plant....

As we get faster with installs of the EFI and get more fuel maps the prices may drop a bit because the work will decrease on this end and due to volume the electronics will drop a bit too.

It takes 3 times longer to dyno an FI engine than a carb engine at the present, but we'll get faster and better as time progresses.
