It has the provision for it, but as I have enough things to figure out and install, using that option is very low on my list atm

What size EFR did you go?

According to the Birdman, exactly the same as your son's?



I also wound some heat wrap at some more critical points (its all the tape I had LOL):

Hi, possibly re-route that -16 above the exhaust, maybe not between. I can hear it cook.

love a well-wrapped header...

Yeah, it shuold keep temps under control.

Unfortunately, the header design prevents using the bottom plugs, so no twin spark operation in N/A mode anyways..

I had not thought of that tbh..

Made a lousy vid today of the running in, sound was absent due to my crappy phone which had probably noise overload...

Hey Walter, was that you in the race? If so, it revs nice. I noticed you touched the red line. If so, that G-50 is a real plus.

Since at the present, you are not running dual plugs, how do you protect the threads of the spark plug holes?

Congrats again sir

Yeah, on YouTube some other vids of 5 years ago and older probably show up when you check out the above vid
I'll try to make a better vid as I found out why my proper camera stops after 4 seconds video (too low quality SD card...).

I have just turned in the appropiate plugs in the bottom holes. They are not that expensive. easy peasy

Tnx!

[Wally]

It runs now with proper sound ;-)

Great to see it back on the road Wally

Hey Walter, how much boost? What are the graph in good old American horsepower. I see that you have utilized your inside parcel tray, now you got some more room right on. Double disc four puk question why not the 8 puk? Will the engagement be more harsh for the street. Is your build transforming more toward pure track and race? That flywheel/clutch looks like it means business. Right on, looks NICE WALTERhttp://s86.photobucket.com/user/effv...l?sort=3&o=112

Wow

IIRC, 4-puck is all Tilton sells these days. The former shape of full disk which had 6 divided parts on the disk, just isn;t available anymore.. The centers are stronger too btw, with 8 instead of 6 bolts iirc, so more little changes have been done to the design at Tilton.
I'll just trust them to know what they are doing

Just reinstalled the Cup brace and for the first time, the scatter shield I had made a while ago already (needed for certain tracks here):

I can’t believe how much this has changed since I was last on the forum! Great work Walter it’s truely inspiring! In fact I’m still drawing inspiration off your original boosted 914 set up!! Now that was a long time ago! What figures are you expecting from your
New set up and what boost are you going to be running? Will you be running with the duck tail intercooler or something different?
