Any thoughts on a 914 2.0 in ITB???

Yeah, that is very likely - I can't imagine any other car having any better aero in ITB, and that's once we hit around 90mph... though I think my 4th gear may be just a little bit better for that straight, seems like I actually stay in 4th a little longer than them, despite a lower shift point (6k vs. 7).
 
Hmmm...my fiero would challenge you for that ITB aero championship!!! :014:

However, power would be a whole different ballgame. :(

:lol:
 
LOL... maybe we could line 'em up at the top of the hill at Road Atlanta, and race 'em soapbox derby style, coast down to the finish line... :D
 
...
Anybody know of any solid 914 2.0's out there, in the southeastern half of our world?

They come available from time to time but the price tag for a good rust free car is enough to discourage any low budget racers from running one. Engines and parts are also expensive.
www.914club.com and www.914world.com are good places to search for cars, parts and resources.
PCA racing rules put IT 914 2.0's into their GT5 category (fully modified, up to 2.2L), and their stock class is very restrictive, so there isn't much incentive for setting up a car to race with both clubs.

I just checked, the cars are listed at only 80lbs apart, so evening the weights to make it fair would be easy.

Sounds like fun! Let me know when!!! :smilie_pokal: :smilie_pokal: :smilie_pokal:
 
I think I have found a car, does anybody know if any 914's are still out in the IT world?? Any tech savy guys out there that know D jet and how the new ECU rules help this ancient fuel injection??
 
There was a yellow one that ran in ITB at Roebling a few years back. I think the driver's name was Chief Wells. Last IT one I have seen.

There's a decent book on all Bosch EFI systems on Amazon. Covers D, L, K, etc. Worth the money I spent on it.
 
Word has it that the Mosers are so fast in the keyhole due to their use of A compound Hoosiers..on their 2250lb cars.

Since the 914 is 2260, and has better weight dist., there might be some time to be found in compound choice....

just a thought...
 
There were two for sale on 914club a couple of weeks ago. They are now sold. I do not know who bought them or if the will be raced in IT or not. They had not seen the track in over 10 years. As far as an ECU you SDS will work since you can replace the engine harness.

I would say about mid 1900 without the cage. My 71 weight 1754 with a header no vent system and fiberglass bumpers. I would add about 50# for the bumpers and 10 for the vents. My car also had the early doors without the crash beams in them which is a lot lighter. You will want and early 73 car. The Porsche tech specs box says 2139# but it does not say for what year. I would say that is for a 1974.

Ok, so I have been down this road before. I have once again left sanity at the door..... I found and purchased a donor 73 2.0 914, paid in full, before i could reconsider. With little rust at all I can actually start the process of building the next ITB "must have" car.

Man I hope I don't regret this in the morning

I think that's cool as hell, Fred. And I don't care if you DO respect yourself in the morning. We just like that you put out. :)

I like it!

Give it a go Fred.... B is actually happenin' right now and that car might have a shot at that weight.

Check out that Bosch Engine Management book from eBay, I got it a few weeks back for the L-Jetronic on my car and it's good stuff. Comprehensive, but easy enough for even me to understand. It covers all forms of Bosch injection up to the late 80s, including the mechnical types.
