I'm with James on this. There are a few clues here and there that you have an interesting build going. Let's see it Chris!

hmmm. maybe later once I can make progress continuously.

Continuous progress...thats impossible with 914's. Supposed to take years to finish them...

hehe...maybe...

Oooh...Is that a subie?

Yup. We will see if we can get rid config to work.

Chris
We have to talk!! Is that a ej20K motor? Sweet. I have 2 2.2 single T and harnesses if you need parts..

jeff

Hmmm let me talk with Robert. This motor is a Japanese spec 2.5 sequential twin turbo. Robert can find out if the 2.2 stuff will work.

'Cause everyone knows that ONE turbo just ain't enough!!

2.5 twin sequential? Sweet. You got to do some show and tell!! That thing is going to be lightning fast. I have a ton of different intercoolers if your looking to test fit for size= volvo,saab,audi,vw,toyota,ect

I seen a 74ish bug with a subi intercooler for the engine lid last sunday rolling up 41st. It looked like 8's in the back and he wasnt much on boost before they let loose.

jeff

Exactly. That's why I will be putting 11's in back...

Power is nothing without control ....better sign up for some skill`s days and AX so you can learn to drive that animal....JMO

My solution is to drive a clapped-out 1.8L. . . Very difficult to loose control but not nearly as fun either I gotta change that. . .

Yep. Probably a SoCal class by the time it is ready to run

Don't forget about FATT over here on the east side. Cheapest decent instruction you'll ever get and SCR is a blast!

Watch out for turn 1, it wants to eat you. Really, you can see the blowout path from frigging space.

Ok, progress. 1st layers of lizard skin are down. Waiting for flash time before applying heat layers of lizard skin CI.

I will call the sound supressive layer Muave...that is what color it is.
time to go to trivia night and let stuff dry...
tomorrow...

Is the car done yet...I'm ready for that thread...

Working on it!

Looking good man!

But but .. there is no mounts for the passanger seat?? Your not going to share?

That lizard skin looks good.

jcl

It's easier to fab something up without those there. Plus it allows for the seats to sit lower

Jon,
Thank you very much for letting me borrow your compressor for such a long time. I will bring the beer (payment) soon!

Any time buddy

Since Jon made it back safe from his 914 US tour, should we plan something for next Tuesday?

What are we talking like party at Jon's next Tuesday?

a car build party? Jon will have to approve......

Oh... I was thinking party party like booze and loose womens but hey working on putting a car together sounds fun I suppose.

Jon who? I do like the loose Lady's thing though.

Supposedly Jon is a loose woman now so...

Oh Snap

I would be fine with people coming over next Tuesday. Being gone for the past two weeks it would be nice to do something on a car for once.

Oh...Hi Jon!

Who plans to go to the "All Porsche Car Show" at Triple XXX on April 29th? I just put the engine back in, the car should be ready by then (I hope). Last two years we met at the Mac Donald off I405 Exit 7 at around 9:14 AM.

- Juergen

If I can get my car to Redmond European for a safety check and alignment by then I will take my car. Otherwise, I am going minus 914.

I'm in VEGAS and will miss the XXX Drive-in.

Yet another year without my car...however 2013 is MY YEAR!

I am out of town as well.

I'll be at WCR that weekend. Anyone else going from this area??

so Jon, you up for it?
I have to pick up a fly wheel in Mill Creek later tonight, so it will be an early one for me.

Bleh. Rain.

maybe next week. I'm at Elijah's karate class right now.

Sounds good Jon!

Since I live 2 minutes up the hill from the I405 Exit 7. meet y'all at the McB's at 9:15. But won't have a 914, they are both sitting without engines.

Any of you guys that understand the wiring want to come help me pull out all the unwanted wires? I have the engine out and have everything out in the open so now is a good time to do it.

Anyone? Bueller?

What have u determined Jon are unneeded circuits thus far?..

Well, I don't need reverse lights, anything heater related, and other stuff... I see a lot of wires and only need the ones that go to the tails lights, turn signals, and engine stuff...

Well I think that you would save more weight pulling out the fresh air box all the heater blower equip in the back and all the plumbing bits for the heat. If you get rid of the wiring for the items your talking about you'd be looking at maybe two pounds savings. At most.. And needless to say you may wanna use some of those wires later down the road. Not to sound all negative... What does the car have left as far as oem heavy equipment?

Oh that stuff is going as well

Oh good..I wish I had a wind tunnel... Delete the grating for the cold airbox also... Should reduce overall drag by a very minute amount. I'd never get anything officially done with a wind tunnel.. I'd just spend all day playing with bodywork and wings and so forth... I think your best bet would be to pull up the pelican site and print out the electrical flow diagrams they have for your year and print them out and start crossing off what you want to delete. Then bring it over to my place off 164th and we go over what you can get rid of from the diagram

Alright I admit that I've been reading the Porsche bible too much.... I've been thinking in drag coefficients and frontal areas
