Since my offerings have changed somewhat, I figured I would update the post with the latest.

JWest Engineering Main Page

Here is a link to the old post with feedback: Old product post

First and foremost is the RennShift.

The most feature-packed Porsche shifter on the market (regardless of price).

$510.00 (Optional knob is extra)

Includes a complete shifter with:

20 or 33% reduced adjustable shift throw (can be user changed anytime)
Adjustable bias springs on both sides center the stick
Solid stops prevent trans and linkage damage and where and give a solid feel
Manual reverse lockout standard
Automatic reverse lockout standard
Can use stock knob with crush sleeve (our screw-on knobs available for extra cost)
Adjustable stick position

Versions are available fit side and tail shift 914s and 911s with 901 and 915 transmissions



-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Next is the rear trunk hinge pivot kit:

$80 for a pair

Durable, adjustable replacement for the rear trunk pivot.

Bolt-in replacement does not require welding to install. Back-up plate reinforces the mounting area.

The original pivot mount must be drilled or ground away and four new holes drilled for installation.

Strong, smooth pivot will not bind or gall as can occur with the original design.

Can be used with original torsion bars or aftermarket gas shocks see Camp914.

One kit does both sides of the car.



-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Also available is the blade fuse panel:
$95

Upgrade your Porsche 914 to modern blade-type fuses! Put an end to the corrosion problems of the original fuses.

No drilling required for installation. Requires no cutting of the original wiring. Bolts and plugs right in.

Kit includes: powdercoated mounting plate, fuse box, pre-installed fuses, fuse covers, and color-coded labels.

Labels supplied for each year of 914, and include fuse rating, circuits protected, and wire colors connected to that fuse position. Greatly increases troubleshooting ability over the vague factory symbols. Even the listing of fused items in the 914 owners manual is wrong for most 914s (it was never updated over the years). The last thing you need when troubleshooting electrical problems is additional confusion - solve that problem now!



-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The very popular fog light flash module:

$25

The way the car should have been wired. Signal other drivers easily with a flash of your fog lights using the column lever.

As an added bonus, once the kit is installed the fog lights can now be turned on with headlights off (if desired).

The 914 Fog Light Module is easy to install with no wire cutting and no modifications to the original harness.

Operation: When the headlights are off and the column stalk (turn signal lever) is moved toward the driver, the fog lights are turned on as long as the stalk is held. When the stalk is released, the fog lights turn off.

When the headlights are turned on, the stalk toggles the high-beam headlights on and off as usual.

This item works with all years of 914/4 (does not work with original 914/6).



-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Engine mounts for side-shift 914/4:

$30 a pair

Aluminum or hard nylon.

Includes new hardware.



-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Brake system products:

Brake line "T" fitting for German "bubble" flare fittings.
$10


Brake proportioning valve with rotary knob adjustment. 10mm bubble flare fittings.
$80

I have had a lot of people asking me if the shifters are available yet, so I just wanted to post to make it clear.

The shifters are ready, and will typically ship the day following ordering. The same is true of all our products.

Pay by credit card, Paypal, or money order.

Order Online or call (see web link for number).

Thanks!

James,

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't you at one time offer a rear view mirror with map lights?

Yep, very little interest, so I discontinued it.

We will have a booth at the German Auto Fest in Ventura, so come by for show specials and giveaways!

Just wanted to post I got my new fuse panel, plug and play, simple!!!
I have been told the factory fuse's are going to be harder to come by next year. Two of my local FLAPS have told me that they will no longer carry them. Money well spent. Thanks james, great prouct!!!!

i will post pics when i get time to install

Could you post a pic of the back of the Fuse Panel?

Do all the relays (and their attachment points) get transfered from the old fuse panel?

(Wondering how it compares to below)

If you remove on of the relay sockets you will see that is is held in place as a rubber grommet through a hole. These holes are replicated on the new panel, so everything switches right over.

Question: Can I use the 911 headlight relay kit on my 914 with your fuse panel? I'm running 65w H4 bulbs...or is it not needed.

Nice looking site/store!

Thanks for the question. 65W is about what stock sealed beams draw also.

The 911 runs the headlight power through the column stalk, with its very small contacts that burn with stock wattage lights. This not true for the 914, which just uses the stalk to switch a relay and has a robust headlight switch. So advantage to the 914 and less need for the relays.

It still would not hurt to upgrade to separate relays on the 914, however, they are really only an advantage with their own source of power. In the 911, we can grab power from the battery directly and run it right into the light circuit.

The 914 is not so easy. The right way to do it would be to run a new (heavy gauge) power wire from the battery to the front trunk, then tap from there to make a short run to relays and then the lights. By the time somone has undertaken al that work, adding the relays themselves is pretty easy (and a kit is not much advantage).

The short answer is that there is so little advantage to adding the relays within the under-dash area that it is not worth doing.

Great info, thanks again.
