Golde60 - December 13th, 2005 at 07:39 PM

this runs motorbike injection i believe. connects straight up i was told.

Injection doesn't quite fit straight on. BMW K100 throttle bodies are mated to the cast manifolds off the std Type 4 engine. Fuel rails are machined to fit. Injectors are off an A class Mercedes.

Kit imported from Brazil.

Nice job Ken. Congrats on the awards at the DoVW. :beer

Judsons4eva - December 15th, 2005 at 11:57 PM

Thanks - That drag still on?

This car is absoluty beautiful! Well done Ken...

Grey 57 - December 16th, 2005 at 07:56 AM

Yep you are on. How many horseys is the 914 putting out? You would have me on the power to weight for sure

Judsons4eva - December 16th, 2005 at 08:32 AM

Dean - I should be able to get 110 to 120 hp out of the engine - which is about the same as the 1955 quad cam 1500cc. Mine is 2 litre and will have more torque. The quad cam revved to 8000rpm to get its power. Mine will be at around 5000rpm.
Car weighs about 600kg

Dean

I have seen that car before. Angela is a frequent poster on Spyderclub.com site. I still have that 2.0l 911s engine (with hole in piston) I was considering putting in mine but it wouldn't fit. I would need to swap from swing axle to IRS so I could move the tranny back. I would also need to remove the torsion bar housing.

Three litrs in a 650kg car would be fun though.

Nice car Ken, and congratulations on winning your class at the DOVW (Perth). Hope to see this car out and about a little more now ;)
