FS: B&B Triflow SS 914-6 exchangers

[3liter914-6]

I'm selling a set of new-in-box SS heat exchangers made by B&B Triflow. Patrick Motorsports gets $1800 for these, I'm offering them at a special papa needs a new Intel Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro price of $1500+shipping.

Thanks!

EDIT:

Exchangers are 1 5/8" BTW

Hello,
I might be interested. What is wrong with them, are they too big for 3.0 liter (as your name stated ), not good quality (I've heard some "bad" things about them and GHL as well...) or....??? Shipping hast to be oversea - but USPS is fine - maybe you can get me a quote? Also - depending on size limitations - shipping by boat would also be an option. Thanks a lot - hope to hear from you.

Hi Yetis,

I don't think they're too large for a 3.0L. They're a little larger than optimal, but I don't think you'd lose HP, you might even gain a few. They're probably most beneficial on a 3.2L or larger engine.

There's nothing with the heat exchangers that causes my sale. My car hasn't run for a number of years, since before I purchased the exchangers, and I'm moving to Florida in the next few months, so I won't really have much use for heat, and don't feel like moving them.

I've only pulled one of them out of the box. Quality looks good, but I've heard people who say they're tough to install.

Thanks,

Adam

Adam, where in FL. are you moving??

[Yetis]

Thanks for the reply. Well I've heard the instalation thing as well but hey - what is easy . Is the price fix or negotiable? Could you have a look into the shipping matter - try USPS - the other companies are very expensive! Would paypal work for you? A picture would be great too.



Thanks again.

I'll be moving to Tampa in the next few months. The GF has already been down there for about 6 months, and she's really turning up the pressure.

Hoping you would be moving closer, could use another 914 drinking buddy. I have friends down there and in Naples. Got a job lined up yet??

I'm not much of a drinker, but I'm always up for new 914 friends.

No job as of yet, I was really hoping to start my own automotive business, but the deal I was working out on property fell through. Other fish in the sea, I just gotta find them.

Yetis, I just snapped a few pictures, let me know if you want more, any specific detail shots, etc.

I love the Irish Green, and I know at least here in the US that rear window defroster is pretty rare. Very nice car you have there. If I were going to add another 914-6 to the collection, an Irish Green one like yours would be at the top of the list.

Thanks,

Adam

Hi Adam
well just a few pics of the one who was taken out of box. Nothing special I guess - maybe the box with indicated the seize/ID.
Thanks for the compliment of the car - I bought it nearly 10 years ago from the USA. Now it has a 3.0 engine with carbs, 915 short gearbox with LSD, 930 brakes etc. Well a few things to finish yet . Shame on me thazt I've modified a original -6 .
I do not know why but I have changed to rear window defroster right the car was here. I have never used or need it - I do not know if it is very rare. Shall I look for one ?
Also I love my rims, 6" and 7" with 205/50 and 225/50 tires. Great combination! Let me know if you have the information and pics ready.

Thanks Alex

Hi Alex,

I posted the pics on another 914 board, and meant to put them in my last post and forgot.

Here they are:

Hey,
look good,
so as soon a you got a shipping quote we have a deal. I looked here at the site and PP takes round about $ 160.-. So this good of course. Let me know what USPS rate you get.

Thanks again.

Hi Alex,

Here are shipping prices:

$126 for Parcel Post which takes 4-10 days

$144 for EMS which takes 3-5 days.

I measured the tubes @ 38mm ID which corresponds to the 1 5/8" tubing.

Hi Adam,
sounds good - shipping is reasonable. First I thought 1 5/8 is already the ID. What was the standard ID of original engine. Was it 35mm? I think I have a bit larger ID (and it works good - also a lot of torque) but let me check first.
Thanks Alex

Hi Alex,

I think the stock HE's might have been 35mm. According to Patrick, their 1 1/2 headers and HE's are 35mm ID, 1 5/8 = 38mm ID, etc.

I'm not sure if that's a standard convention in the Porsche world, but I went out and measured my stock HEs that are hanging out in the garage last night, just to make sure I was measuring right. The B&Bs are definitely at least 3mm larger than the stock HE's.

Thanks,

Adam

Thanks again.
