my type 4 2L in a notch build

[Piledriver]

Do those have idle air screws?
Might be he same as the ones I plan on using on the 2L..

[supaninja]

yes they do pile

Speaking of idle bypass / bleed screws. Will you guys tell me your method of synchronizing your ITBs? I have them all closed now.

I place the syncro-meter on #2 and #4, and balance both sides with the idle speed screws. It makes sense to me to balance the ITBs the way I have been, except possibly shoot for~100 rpm below the actual target. Then take the lowest flowing barrel and open its bypass just a touch to bring it up to the average. Then iterate this procedure again. Is that right?

linkage disconnected, get them in the neighborhood with the idle speed screws. Then I adjust idle bypass screw till all 4 TB's are exactly the same. I use a old school Uni-Syn tool to do this.

I installed the studded hubs and finally put the porcha donks on

Looks like you wore your helper out there in the first pic.

[supaninja]

I just supervisor her, she does all the work

[BAJA-IT]

Glad to see you've got your priorities straight.

Schweet!

I have a set of the same wheels from a 986 in 17x7 and 17x8.5. I bought the wheels in 1999 and still haven't installed them. Things take me a long time.

[supaninja]

Baja-it, yup I want it to run and drive good, then maybe get around to making it pretty or not since it does have character.

Soul, thanks buddy!

Steve, dang dude you bought them back when they were expensive, I thought I sat on mine for a long time...5 months

[Steve Arndt]

I paid a grand for mine with new boxster tires (which are too tall and wide to use). They have sat in my shed for almost 12 years waiting for me to finish other projects. I did get my BSME in the interim at least... :p

[supaninja]

Sweet, now you can build your new project even more bad@ss!

[Piledriver]

Supa, hit that thing with some flat or satin clearcoat, the patina/look is perfect as it sits.

[supaninja]

Clear satin coat would be the bee's knees.

So I finally installed the fuel pump mount that I cast, it fits! I noticed that the fuel pump priming pulse was a noticeably louder, after looking at this pics I see why



I also prettied up the front calipers with some caliper paint I had laying around, the PO painted them with some ghetto red spray paint and they looked like crap. All better now.



Saturday I'm going to put it in a huge car show, mostly American muscle. It will be interesting to see how the car goes over with the general public.
