Very busy with 992 GT3 and Turbo upgrades. Many engine issues that need attention. The air cooled development has taken a back seat somewhat. I can say this, if you own an air cooled engine you are one of the lucky ones.
A new oil/air separator is in the works for the air cooled engine. These engines have needed this for years. If we can rid the oil of some air the oil cooling will be faster and more efficient. Maybe less oil coolers are possible. Testing will tell. At least the oil will be more consistent.
Project 24 is underway and I should be able to show off some of the new parts we have developed for this engine. This engine will include many of the parts we have to date, including the Case Through bolts, Head studs, Crankshaft, Connecting Rods and Pistons. These parts will be available individually soon.
A new modern ITB system will soon be available for those that wish to use mechanical Injectors. This system will incorporate a TPS sensor and a MAP sensor so a modern Ignition control system can be used. Keeping the distributor but having the advance, base timing etc all controlled electronically. No more points and better timing control. A simple conversion from an existing EFI ITB system for those that do not care for the original look but a more modern and adjustable unit.
Have an air cooled project we are involved with presently that is very different and has many unique changes and features. We are consulting and helping with the project so we cannot give up any details as its not our project. As soon as we are given permission we will and hopefully photos. This is a project I am particularly interested as it incorporates modern technology in an older engine.
Have had a lot of positive feed back regarding out Head studs. Telling us, how easy they are to install with the upper hex, the quality and the use of high quality nuts and washers. Adjusting the stud height can be achieved with the heads installed. Its does make a difference when we get positive feed back as it tells us we are doing something right. We sold many sets and have more in production so we keep inventory all of the time. Also, we have these with 12.0mm case threads for Turbo applications and if required, std case repair where a larger size may be required.
I have viewed some of new parts offered by other vendors. Its great others are doing this as it gives more choices and life to these older engines. Hopefully more vendors will get involved offering more and better solutions.
