I'm at sea level, running the S14 also. For the driving I do, the 3.64's made much more sense, less stress on everything running the taller gear. I could see tearing up more stuff running a 3.91 with the amount of hp's being produced from the S14. Less ware and tear................

70mph at just under 3000rpm..........

I can tell you with my "75", without me in the car, it's 2482 pounds. But that's with a 20-gallon fuel cell with 14-gallons of fuel a the S14, Zender front spoiler and early chrome bumper in the rear (no front bumper)

I use this filters https://www.knfilters.com/oil-filters/hp-1002-oil-filter?pkid=6165728&rw=1

I'm interested in a complete set of stainless upper trim for a 74-76, can you send photos please. 

Salute'

If anyone is interested in a drive tomorrow, meet in Hollister, and drive Hwy 25 South towards King City. AWESOME road, air quality may be a bit better.....

Sorry but I couldn't resist:  is your brothers name Woody?  

John Riparetti

My Brother wood torch it out and re-tap the treads.

  Here is the route that Eric Friis laid out for our “SoCal” drive.....

8-1/2” wide et25 215/45’s on the back with rolled lips, still have decent clearance, no rubbing.

7” wide et25 195/45’s

I test fitted 225/45’s on the back, it cleared, but I need to pull the coil out and have the rear trailing arm go through travel, to see if they’ll actually not gonna rub.

Simeon.  Yes/no.  You are correct in that you want the anti-reversion effect in place.  However, it is often still benificial to open the exhaust ports up a bit.  I’ve found on the general 1 5/8 primary size you’ll find on most street m10 headers you can port to the gasket diameter and still have a nice step.  A little of the Goldilocks effect if you will.

 

for some real world numbers I have found to be generally true in the real world. (Not including race-spec higher-than 91 octane numbers)

 

Typical stock carb M10:  90-100 whp 

Typical stock mech. Inj. M10: 105-115whp

fresh top/bottom street hotrod spec. M10: 125-140whp

typical m42: 125-145whp

tired/typical m20b25: 140-155whp

fresh m20 (all stock spece30): 162whp

fresh m20 w/ maf+272:  175-180ish

fresh m20 “ultimate street spec”: 235-250whp

 

There’s more to add, but I’m texting this, and it’s not fun.

I'm a little over 209hp to the rear wheels with my S14 build, with a bit 18,000-miles since Dec 12th, 2017........

I did power windows and power door locks back in 2014.

I have built 3 race engines using S14 Evo 87mm stroke crank,M10 blocks at 92mm bore,  2313cc,  146mm rods, Single cam M10 heads, Schrick 336 cam, 47mm intake valve, 39mm exhaust valve,  13:1 compression ratio, dry sump oil system, .  50DCO carburetors with 42mm chokes. 

Peak HP 249.2 @7900 rpm    Peak Torque 195 lb/ft @ 5600 rpm

Average HP 4500-8000 rpm 219.3 HP     Average Torque 4500-8000 rpm  184.4 lb/ft

148.5HP @ 4500 rpm    173.3 lb/ft @ 4500 rpm

 

I am in the process of converting one of these engines to EFI with 45mm ITBs.  I'll post the dyno sheets when I actually get it on the dyno (don't hold your breath it is going to be a while, this is my project and the customer engines come first) 

 

For comparison a equally prepared 2 liter with 146mm rods

Peak HP 225@ 8100 rpm   Peak Torque 171.9 lb/ft @ 5900 rpm 

Average 199.2 HP 4500-8300 rpm   Average 163.5 lb/ft 4500-8200 rpm

 

I have not used a S14 block for one of these engines yet,  I sonic check the cylinder wall thickness and have found a few M10 blocks that I decided NOT to bore over 91mm for race use.  I have not felt comfortable going over 92mm on any of the M10 blocks. One problem with going over 94mm with the S14 block is the space between the cylinders gets so thin it is hard to keep head gaskets alive between the cylinders. 

Are those "hp" numbers to the rear wheels or crank?

I can tell you 8-1/2" wide, et25 will fit on the rear for sure with rolled lips. 7" wide in the front with rolled lips, and you'll still get some rub on the fender on compression.

I can't see 9" wide rims fitting without cutting.....

Go down to your local Mom & Pop muffler shop, and have them do the job. It will cost between $250-$300, an it will fit perfect with a guarantee.

Use 2-1/4" tubing with one muffler in the back. The muffler shop will be able to recommend something that will be quiet and still sound good.....

I gonna try and make it. Are there any drives scheduled around this event?

I like front spoilers, I have a "Zender" now on my "75", no bumper.

Back in 1985, I had a spoiler on my "73", I can't remember the Mfg. It was fiberglass, and came with a rubber lower lip. It hung down to low, ripped it off a couple of times, gave up on it.

I do like the look of the "Zender", that’s the one that someone should  be replicating.

I got lucky and found a used one back in 2014, it ain’t perfect, but it looks good from 40-feet. It’s fiberglass, so it’s somewhat repairable. I did some reinforcing on the back side with some layers of glass a resin when I first got it.....

I mostly drive the ole “Sh*t-box” during “Car Week”, but I do jump in my “02” for some fun.......

Any "02" folk coming into town for "Car Week" not familiar with "Monterey County" back roads and looking to do some "Fun Runs", contact me at 831-262-2853, I'll keep y'all entertained ?

I think these are DMV regulations, not statutes (from what I understand), so the answer is no politicians. 

Then who's responsible for stopping the raising of smog exempt from 1975 to 1981 a few years back? It sure was not the DMV,

I want to know what politician in California screwed us, so I know not to vote for them!

Vote against ANY Democrat ?

Cars that are 1975 an older do not require smog here in California, I do not see an issue regarding getting it registered through DMV....

The "Monterey Bay Area BMW 2002" group is trying to put together a drive South on Hwy 1,

Let me know if that's something y'all may want to do. Trying to decide on Saturday July 28th, or Sunday the 29th. Thoughts?

Or you run something like this....
