Rivet, you may already know this, but let me say it anyway: Be very careful using racing rubber in low temperatures. I don't do it (BTDT). I use winter tires from now until March or April.
PeteKz,

40 tread wear tires + north east winter = party time!

I kid, I kid. These are for the warmer months.

Good luck with the DBW. I like mine. Two motors or one?
montauk,

DBW is almost always the way to go, I have even used DBW throttle bodies in mechanically throttle actuated boosted race motors mounted to charge pipes to control intake manifold pressure (boost control) but still keep the turbo impeller RPM high to have quicker power management control. The amount of nerdism available is exciting!

I have the car pre wired for two DBW actuators, but I will be installing one EFI hardware Bosch based actuator as step one, then later two.

Being a dealer for EFI hardware and RHD throttle body kits I am treating my personal car as a rolling test bed and develop both single and dual setups as a solution for my customers that are utilizing RHD itbs and Maxxecu EMS and be able to provide extensively road tested base calibrations for all three options (mechanical, single DBW actuator, and dual DBW actuator).

Michael,

The build is awesome! Of course I love the hot rod aesthetic you have going with the car and I bet it's even more fun to drive.

I just wanted to give you a huge shout out as well. Michael has shared his time and expertise with me regarding a lot of issues on my current build. He helped design my fuel setup and walked me through multiple issues with my harness and EFI / ECU stuff in general. I'm totally new to EFI and his willingness to reach out to someone across the country and spend time helping me diagnose and solve issues just really speaks to his character.

Thank you! You should make a cross country pilgrimage with the Targa. Would love to see this car in person.

75 911s,

Thanks Duane! It has been my pleasure to help. A west coast pilgrimage would be awesome. If you are ever in the NYC area you are always welcome for a visit.
