3.4 Progress
Well my time line is moving up, little and big packages are showing up at the door everyday... Finished a little engine compartment R & R...
And yes, those little green shocks are a product of "while you are in there..."  And of course, my custom chip came from Steve...

I can hear her calling: "here engine, here boy..." coming along nicely I see! Did you by chance weigh your old engine sound pad? I was expecting for it to be fairly heavy (after reading some of the posts here, and maybe was on the earlier cars), but mine weighed in at a whopping 4.5 lbs (I think it was)....WooHoo!!!

The appbiz one is lighter - but not by much... This one is definitely thinner - and should make it easier to access the air cleaner. Both plusses...

Thanks Doug - wifey is "over the whole car" in pieces in the garage - so updates will hopefully be pretty fast and furious...

You still have speed control and A/C? What's wrong with you?
 Don't throw away that old fork and shaft. Yours is still in good operable condition. Clean and relube would make that work well for a long time. I'll bet years from now there will be somebody asking if anybody has an original G50 shaft and fork. I'm not saying that's a good thing. Just predicting it'll happen.

Don't worry, Steve has included a custom "AC" setting on the chip. It basically tries to counteract the horsepower sucking compressor on the 3.4 so its output is close to a non airconditoned 3.2
(Sorry Jeremy)

Joking aside, it has been a brutal summer for the 911 in the NorthEast. The summer's weather has been in the high 80's and low 90's with 80-90% Too hot for my nonairconditioned black interior coupe, at least for mid-day trips.

The parts look great Jeremy, the only way they would look better is if you had plug holes in the lower valve covers !.......Doug

All six intake valves were worn beyond spec (and in a 57,000 mile engine, go figure) so they were replaced with stock valves - not TRW - I have the name written somewhere - german company I have not heard of...

Oh - got the welmesiter clutch update installed too - woo woo - Mine hadn't been updated so I have more material on the "ears" of the transmission casting (which makes me a happy camper!)
