update on my project
my dad and i put a 2.2 chrysler turbo in my 72 914. last night i got to test drive it home, on three cylenders. new stuff this week:
brand new set of tires
custom exhaust system that has 2 1/4 pipe and one glass pack
wired newer electronics into it (took a good 10 - 12 hours)
set up the vacuum lines and solenoids.
put new fuel lines under the gas tank
for the most part the engine fit right in. it just took awhile to get the adapter plate right from the machine shop.
i'm only going to be getting between 165 and 180 hp when i get the other cylender working. I'll get more HP when i change the computer (i'll just have to unplug this one run a couple screws to change it)
the radiator is mounted right next to the engine. it over heated on the way home from the shop because it needs a new fan, as we discovered last night.
