All, I wanted to take the time to introduce myself. I have been talking with Eric at Electromotive and he suggested I come over here for some techinical insight. In any case, here is my project.

It is a 1969 Porsche 912. For those who might not know, the 912 model was a 911 chassis with a 4-clyinder 356 engine. I no longer have the 356 engine, I have replaced with with a 914 Porsche Type-4 engine that has been built out extensively. I have also added a turbocharger, intercooler, and of course the TEC-3. I have had this car since I was 15 and it has gone through several iterations of restoration from original the extreme (as it sits now).

Here is the car...ride height needs to be adjusted in the rear after I get it all together.

The car has been stripped to bare metal on a rotessorie, full cage added, painted red everywhere, little bit of rust repair, '87 Carrera suspension and brakes, and a later model 915 transmission.

Everything was powdercoated or zinc plated.

Late model gauges with a 935 boost gauge replacing the clock position.

Here is the engine on the stand.

And in the car.

My wiring diagram for the electromotive items.

ECU mounted behind the passenger seat.

Harness laid out in the car. These are the wirings going forward to the dash.

And the ones going back, these have been covered.

And in the engine bay.

Now, what I did was purchase two of the board mount connectors in the ECU and I made a electrical box for the engine harness to plug into. This will aid the installation and/or removal of the engine.

Here is the LC-1 wideband controller tucked in the back.

Here is how it sits now as I complete the fuel/oil/vacuum lines before the intercooler goes back on.

I will post some more as I make more progress. Thanks for looking.

Yea, too much time and way too much thought...I need to get it running already. I am waiting on a few parts and I plan to get it fired up over the x-mas break.
