Neat system, and well thought out. I would make a coiple of suggestions: 1. Replace all the rubber f.i. hose with hard lines, as much as possible to keep a more stable pressure and reduce the risk of a blow out and fire. 2. The central pivot for the throttle bodies is where there is a difference in throw. Measure the movement of each side to see where it is. I would make the start/idle position on it on the other side, ie: about 40 degrees counterclockwise from where it is now. You'll need longer rods to the throttle bodies I'm guessing. That should even out the throw.as long as the pivot distance is the same on all the throttle pivots and central pivot arms. Lastly, find the plug for the top of the fan shroud. Best of luck, and it'd be nice to see a follow up. Thx.
Übersicht -Problem / Problemlösung Porsche 914 Motor. Hallo aus Deutschland. Das Video ist sehr aufschlussreich für mich. Besonders die Auspuffanlage für den Porsche 914. Aber auch die anderen Komponenten wie: Getriebe, elektronische Kraftstoffeinspritzung, Drosselklappengehäusen, Performance Nockenwelle, vergrößerte Ventile, Zündung etc. Vielen Dank aus Deutschland und viel Erfolg!
With the longer intake manifolds. You may need to turn up the idle. That is if you like performance take off. Try 1700 rpm. But that does not make it a daily driver. More for racing the motor instead. That was my experience with these manifolds.
As a home mechanic, where did you learn to do all the setup and programming? In other words, does the system you bought (TB's etc..) and megasquirt come with specific enough instructions to accomplish what you did?
The Camshaft is a 9590. I made a video showing the rough costs of this system. Unfortunately, I inadvertently left it out of the final cut. Since it is already made, I will release it as a follow-up to this video.

Nice paint work on the 914.
Damn that motor sounds beautiful!!!

That distributor is very interesting. I didn't know something like that existed.

Thanks Thomas, nice work and I am proud about this engine, Thanks again!!!
I wish you success with the rest of your project!

Megasquirt manuals take some time to figure out. It will take a fair bit of research, and learning about tuning.
One day, a setup like this will be the only FI option for these cars. It’s getting harder and harder to find components for my L-Jet…
I have a few L-Jet parts if you need anything.
@@UberWerks914 I’ll hit you up on the forum if I run into a wall. Right now I’m attempting to source a replacement thermo-time switch.
Thomas, solid build! Can you tell us on hp & redline? Do you have a shop that builds motors?
125 hp. I do build motors.
an also about the support for the starter !
Hi Thomas
I have questions about prices ... Throttles, intake, tangerine ...
But it seems effective !
See part 2, I added cost info.
Where did you get the throttle linkage ?
Thomas, do you offer your build plus install as a service. I see your engineering as a great alternative to a 6 cylinder conversion for my 72 car.
Hi Frank, Yes I do.
Super Motor...👍😁
What CAM is installed? and can you provide rough idea of cost of for EFI system. Looks great install Thanks

Do you know of any wheel company that makes the style of wheel you have for a 4 lug wheel?
No but there are 4 lug Fuchs that came on 2.0 liter cars .
It appears you have four throttle bodies, one per cylinder.
Yes
What cam and other upgrades does this have. Any idea of the power?
@@jockellis run with a variety of cams. ~ 125 hp
@@UberWerks914 What’s your favorite. I’m going with a Webcam 86a for 1.9 engine, 96x66.
