Hi – congratulations with your completed project. My car has no heat – I am not sure where the headers are from. The muffler is a Dansk 911 dual inlet dual pipe stainless steel muffler. Make sure to get tail pipes with larger diameter than your 914-6 friends.

Very cool. I’ve known about the BMW 320 I conversion for about 20 years, but did not know the 944T calipers can be made to fit. Guessing the rear proportional valve can be remove with these monsters in the front. Who supplies the rotor and center hub? This will go on my Monterey convertible.

HI,
THis is a long shot, but thought I would try…
Would you like to sell me the Triad Exhaust that you removed from your 914?
I have an old car that needs a new muffler and don’t want to spend a load of money?

So all I have to do to fit 944T brakes to my 914 is buy the calipers and rotors and bolt them on? Will the 944T rotors bolt to 914 hubs? My hubs have been converted to 5 stud and I would prefer to stick with them if possible.

Hello Porsche 914 friend.
I’m working at Bosal research in Belgium and we are in contact with 914-people from Porsche Classic Club Belgium.
We’ve re-developed a 914/2.0 muffler for them. We build them on request with single and twin tailpipe. All stainless steel.
See http://www.youtube.com/user/Minkie2008#p/a/u/0/GKe0f03BJcY

Just contact me for more information.
Kind regards,

Hi Steve,

The Brembo 993 kit was installed in another 914 and not for sale. I suggest you contact Rich Johnson. Rich can advise on and design all brake possibilities available for the 914. Rich can be contacted at a914guy (at) aol dot com

Hello!
I would like to inquire about the Brembo 993 brake kit.
I’m in the process of converting the brakes on my 914.

Thank you!

Hello Rich,

Love your car.

I am in the process of converting my 75 914-4 to a 6. Most likely, I will have Patrick Motorsports (PM) in Phoenix do the conversion, which will be a full restoration also. I have been speaking to James Patrick at PM regarding the conversion. All of PM’s 4 to 6 conversions utilize a front oil cooler (Setrab). Although I fully understand the need for the oil cooler, I do not like the front vent in the bumper and valance for the oil cooler to breathe. Also, I’m not keen on modifying my car far beyond the original Porsche configuration for the 914-6 (or 4). Yes, the 916 has an oil cooler but I’m not building a 916 and, like your car, I want mine as “stock” (original) as possible.

How did you handle oil cooling in your car? I will be installing a euro spec 2.7 with 210 hp in my car.

Thanks for your insight,

Greg
