There’s a lot to be said for writing a big check and having a car back in months instead of diy for a couple years. beerchug.gif

I also have a white narrow-body 3.2L conversion. Mine is using an '87 Carrera motor with Motronic, and I noticed a detail with yours that I had not seen before. It's very clever and I want it...

Was the black intake tube that places the volume airflow sensor closer to the firewall a PMS fabrication? Something they sell? You have a very nice car and well thought conversion by the way.

Beware of throttle induced oversteer, unless you can get at least 225 series tires in the rear.

There is a lot to be said to have the money in the bank to write that CK.

Parts were the biggest expense. Labor surprisingly cheap.

Thanks, I had to listen to James Patrick for a half hour telling me how awesome it was to drive. Only thing left is alignment and they had to order a new 28 pin computer chip.

Ha ha they even sound good on idle,never had any motor that rev's as easy,had to learn to drive in a lower gear to keep mine on the boil,not so much with of an issue a bigger engine like you have...anyway just enjoy it and go driving.gif driving.gif .

how are you planning to shield the air filter from rain? Maybe you don't have rain issues but I am looking for a solution using the 914-6 GT engine lid and rain getting into the air filter.

It sets far enough forward to be protected by the rear deck but ultimately it’s not going to be driven in the rain. I hope... blink.gif

Glued down the top half of the felt pad. Decided not to go with the stock grey pad that I got from AA as it fit like crap. Went with same material but in black. Now need to make a custom base board to mount my Fire Extinguishers.

Front trunk looks dialed! Great job! first.gif

Very nice job. PMS guys are tops in this world but I am sure you have about as many or more hours in the outcome. beerchug.gif

Quick run on the Dyno before my Wong chip is installed.

Sorry, took down PMS FB video until I can figure out why it opens up my FB account for the world to see...... sad.gif

13 more HP than what...what were the final numbers. Not many of us actually dyno test/tune our cars. I'm interested to hear what he drive-train loss % is on a 914.

I've heard great things from the Steve Wong chip'd 3.2 engines, even told my wife's mgr to get one when he had his 3.2 Carerra rebuilt,

Car looks GREAT!!!

I also have a SW chip and Ford Mustang MAF. I plan to put everything back on after I get the oxygen sensor and gauge installed so I can monitor the air fuel mixture. Car looks great!! Love Jim’s cars!! I used to live in Chandler and visit his shop often.

Check out Bruce Anderson’s book. He has a nice section on 3.2’s that include chip, maf, exhaust and hp gains.

I drove one of our 911’s with a stock Porsche chip and a custom sw chip. It was a nice difference. Chip was $800 but if your going to do it, might as well go all in.
