putting my 3.8 back together.
 

I just replaced the bearings, rings and all new seals in my 3.8 rsr motor. thought I'd share a few pics.

The motor is from my 914 track car. 12.5:1 comp. twin plug, endurance RSR size valves, Web Cam 171/149, cams(center drilled), carrillo rods, ITB's with motec efi and more.

Looks sweet!

That's got to be a beast in a 914!

What are you putting to the wheels?

Hey man!
Cool engine! What part number crank case do you have?

Best regards
Per-Stian

964 rsr case. m64/04

SCOOTER... nice work. Seen a few 914-6s... yours is tops. Clean set up... very nice. 3.8 in that weight is g-force terrific. Compliments.

Looking at your config brings back very fond memories. Worked on a rear end mod for a 14-6 with a similar high wing like yours some years ago. Using your 6 as base, it looked like this (below.) I know some like visual mods and others are offended. If offending, I'll delete.

No offence taken. looks good! Yeah the HP to weight is crazy. I just did a full engine rebuild, tranny and suspension. I also installed new seats, fire system,all new brakes, al new oil and fuel lines and wevo shifter. I should be good for a few more years...

Always loved this car and a bit famous,was an Excellence feature car years ago,remember it was built on a heafty budget,very nice.

Yeah, I bought it a few years ago. I have the excellence issue from Nov. 2002 I contacted the original owner last year just to touch base.... Nice Guy!

The car only has about 137 hours since the build in 2001.. I just figured i'd freshen up everything this winter and hit the ground rolling this spring.

Where do I buy one? The highly molested 914 doesn't get enough cred. What's it like to drive this thing? Please use as many analogs to lawn tools as you can.

Nice looking Engine but those Rods I believe are pauters not Carrillo's from the looks of things.
