Nice, that engine looks mean.

They really aren't that different to jet than any other single throat per cylinder carb engine. With the 911 you do have the advantage of people tuning carbs on these engines for many, many years so baseline jetting choices are not way off.

That being said, i haven't even started fine tuning these carbs yet.

this is my favorite thread on r3v

Thanks!

Do you mind me asking about the jetting on those carbs? Are those motors easy to jet and how much do all the variables in weather etc affect the jetting? Seems like such a cool way to go if its not to much of a pain. I like how you have simplified everything. Nice build thread.

Picked up a MSD 6AL from JasonC here on r3v and finally got it installed. It replaces my 6A which doesn't have a rev limiter. Just tested the 6100 rpm pill today and it works really nice, going to put a 6500 pill in now that i know it works.

I also painted the MSD black before i put it in.




Installed air filters and rain hats so i don't have to worry about having it covered when it's outside or getting caught in the rain.





I got one of my recaro SRD seats installed. I sit about 2 inches lower with this setup and it feels so much better !

This rain has been ridiculous for sure. Glad to see you getting back in the swing of things.

sub'd. I love 80's porches

[LJ851]

Fuckin Rain every day.



Still working on getting my shop put together in between customer jobs and everything else. Haven't driven much but i think i will prob end up doing a top end rebuild on the 3.2 engine.

Waiting.





I will say that seeing my 1600 back on the ground for the move has gotten me all hot and bothered.


Real updates soon i hope !

what an amazing thread! super good work. makes me want to buy the one that is sitting in my dads shop parking lot. its an 87 911 with 76k on it. hasnt been on the road or even moved in about 10 years. its very very very clean for just sitting. i will get a picture of it and post and it up.

Have you seen the new piece that's on this wall? It's totem as well but he does the 'paint on telephone pole so when you look at it head on it dissapears' thing wayyy more intricately it's rad.

[LJ851]

We closed on the new property and I have been working on it like a rented mule since then. I won't really have much happening on the 911 until my shop is moved over to the new place.

Not a lot to report, my girl and i have trying to buy a house/farm and i have been pretty busy jumping through all the hoops.
